2025 Preseason Camp Thread

Hatcher was great up until his injury last season. Hes not a #1 but he's needed.

I'm not sure I can go as far as "great." He's definitely shown flashes of it, but consistency has really been an issue imho.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

David O introduced himself as an “Edge Rusher.”

Think that confirms what we’ve all expected - he’s really going to be more of a DE this year than an off ball LB.

I expect a big season from him.

It's really hard to block slime.

 

[Nahson]

Why do you say that?

I just think he plays soft. I’ve seen him give up on too many routes. To me, he’s like the anti-Jackson Meeks. It’s not a question of talent, he’s talented, I just question his effort.

He’s not soft

There is more to being a good running back than physical stature, but remember a running back named Leonard Fournette?

Look at the hit he delivers to Perry near the goal line!

Jim Brown and Ernie Davis have an inch on him, but he had 3lbs over Brown and 25 over Davis. Those guys were considered big backs.

Tucker, Carter, and Reyes aren’t close in size.

 

[Jake]

He’s a big back. Lordie…

 

[hoopsupstate]

Yup everything I heard last year and this year was he’s a stud. His problem last year was the playbook and a couple nagging injuries. A year under his belt he should have the playbook down. Wouldn’t be surprised one bit if he’s a break out player this year. Coaches love him

He was a big time recruit!

Yeah, he's a monster. I think he will be our starting RB, with Nixon on 3rd downs.

He got knocked out of bounds. Not clear to me that he won that battle.

1000percent agreed.

But he does play soft. last year off top of my head he gave on 2 balls in end zone and 1 or 2 year before that. i andothers have seen it 1 time no biggy work on it mant times its a choice.

Interesting about Villari. It was obvious he had issues with his upper body.

Anybody soft wasn’t sticking his nose in on the hands team when he got his leg wrecked. Anybody soft isn’t back practicing this soon. I saw him willing to take big hits all season.

Ok not bad point, but he has given up on balls. ya gotta at least agree on that.

He knocked the guy off his feet. What video were you watching?

He’s also made more good plays. A player isn’t defined exclusively by bad plays. And calling him soft is soft minded

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

The one where he was knocked out of bounds before the goal line.

 

[Chip]

He’s not soft

I don't think he's soft either.

But I think he's gonna be Wally Pipp'd.

If not, then all the better for us.
