2024 Spring Practice

Wait. Chesney was about a minute from being the head coach?

What happened? Never heard this story.

It was a typo.

He misspelled Mullen.

Kid is easy to like.

Hope he has a successful season this year!

How's the dating on Metal Heads Only?

Lots of hair if you know what I mean

Moved to center…. Reed may be second team now? Interesting, sounds simple to me - we need our best lineman on the line, so if we have two starting caliber RGs then move one to the weakest link on the line - which may have been center…. Very interested to see our starting line next fall.

I know the staff has been moving the OL around all spring.

They still are getting a feel for their players and the positions they are best suited to play. I believe the goal is to have a player they have confidence in able to play every position on the OL.

It will be interesting to see where all the OL play in the scrimmage on 4/20. By that point, I would guess the staff would have a pretty good idea who is best suited to what position.

It sounds like there will be a draft, which is going to make identifying the first and second team units hard. But we should at least be able to confirm what position players are playing at, and see how they look.

Really looking forward to getting a peek at this team.

Every time I see a picture of McCord taking a snap, Reed is the center.

Cohoon smokes Jalil Martin. Kid is more than just a deep threat:

Could be the staff moved More to center to try and create some competition to push Reed.

Jackson Meeks in a walking boot...please tell me its not serious

 

[Symphony Steve]

That explains it. I'm an old metal-head in my 50s.

An old metal-head is a teenager in my universe.

I've heard FB speak highly of Reed and call him a leader.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Yeah, I'd be really surprised if Reed isn't the starting center.

Barnes is a day-one starter.

This interview is encouraging. I really feel no matter who starts at center the back up will be solid and this unit overall will be a pleasant surprise it has size - depth and talent and the most important thing we must remember our coaching staff does not want Kyle McCord to be running with the football like Schrader did.

He can’t run the ball like Shrader, that guy was one of the best in CFB. If not for injuries would have been a different year. We need McCord to be able to pick up first downs on occasion to keep the defense honest.

Barnes is a stud. He immediately stood out to me

Yes. All corners will get beat at times. Not all can recover.

First big injury of the spring? Honestly surprised we've made it this far
