Ok folks, I did the investigation of the videos so you don't have to. It looks like its 1s vs 1s scrimmage situation. Huge thanks to the pause feature on twitter lol

Offense:
QB- Angeli
OT- Not Pictured
OL- Byron Washington! (right side)
C- cant determine
OL- Joe Cruz (Left Side)
OL- Naquil Betrand (Left Side)
WR- Darell Gill
WR - Johntay Cook
WR- Not pictured
RB- Willis
TE - can't determine, looks like Villari covered by McDonald

Defense:
DE- David Reese
DE- Jacquez
DT- Tank Wilson
LB- McDonald
LB- David O
Star- Devin Grant
S- Chesnut
S- Braheem Long (INT)
CB- Davien Kerr
CB- Chris Peal
CB- Samuel Jr

I have heard Joe Cruz is really highly thought of from several reliable sources. Would be really surprised if he does not start at OG.

That Washington is even getting a few snaps with the first team at OG this early is, I think, fairly significant news. He was knocking on the door even in spring ball.

This doesn’t happen often with true frosh OL.

Appreciate the sleuthing and effort, but it's their first week of practice.

Don't think who's getting reps with who means very much at this point.

Makes me think of this scene from the best football movie of all time, Little Giants.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

I do agree with this about the O Line and D Line. Less so for the skill positions, those are pretty clearly the preferred options at this moment. But agreed, emphasis on at this moment. Things could change

Thats my thought too. He was exploding late last season. Up muscle and a burner too

 

[richmondcuse03]

Dude just dropped his gold jacket off at the dry cleaners after a weekend with his legend peers on the stage in Canton, now he’s straight to the Cuse to spread knowledge and coach up the coaches.

Man, what a great add to the staff by Fran.

Expecting to see a Slimey Spin Move for 8+ sacks this year.

Pretty cool to see. Such a great job by Fran and the former players embracing each other.

Someone else's left nut for him to be our version of Bryant McKinnie

I dont think I could love this any more. Kind of encapsulates Fran's whole approach to the program. I hear the team consistently saying this off-season that "the standard rises everyday" and this is a damn good example of that in action.

 

[CuseMan4]

And he was the punt returner we wish Pena had been. With him we always won the kicking game because every team was afraid to kick to him.

Most underrated punt/kick returner we had and his senior season receiving stats is Sean Riley. I don’t think he gets talked about enough tbh

Any edge guys who screw up and get faked out in their rush to the QB will hear about it.
Having Freeney as a coach is like having a cheat code on the sidelines.
He should be able to dissect film on any offensive lineman as to weaknesses.

In that video he was teaching the pull/swim techinque and then it's counter move.
DL/DE Moves I can honestly say was not used once last year.

What DL recruit wouldn't want to play under ERob, NWill and DWIGHT FREAKING FREENEY?!?!?!?!

I just need to fathom this possibility for a second.

A 6-7 400 lb true freshman OG that is athletic enough to beat out all of these other experienced dudes. I mean how many dudes in the country could move him 1 on 1 if he has even reasonable technique?

Yeah that sounds delightful. I’m going to keep day dreaming about that for a moment.

They def were not. straight hands a square to los.

The 4th is really cool and the 5th is a really impressive shot to pull off.

I think you can probably pretty safely get yardage running behind a 400 lb guy that can move.

Understandable. The legend of Riley Dixon and the fake punt and Punch was born from LSU too. The LSU games make or break Cuse legacies

I spent all year yelling at the screen

 

[shu 49]

S

I spent all year yelling at the screen

seemed like more gap reading and reacting. Hoping we let them loose this year.

That was so painful. Arguably one of Dungey’s best throws of his career here too.
