2025 Preseason Camp Thread

[DomeHolmes]

I agree with this for the most part. I think you nailed the O-line and receivers. You alluded to it, I think Angeli will be the starter. I think running backs will be mostly Willis and Nixon as you have. But I think the third back will actually be Hart. To me James is here pretty much strictly for returning and a gadget guy on offense that we can use for pitches and sweeps every now and then. But I think our top 3 backs are Willis, Nixon and Hart. Especially now that Hart gained some real mass. Tight end wise I think we go with three guys there. I think Clement will see ALOT of action because he is a big blocker at tight end. Villari will be on the field a lot. I’m unsure about Tremble right now, now because of the talent but he’s missed a pretty good amount of time so far with injuries this camp. And I still think he needs to add another 10 pounds

Wouldn’t be surprised to see no tight end 25% of the time with Ross, Gill, Cook and Ross-Simmons in the flexed out tight end/reciever spot OG played. Tremble would likely get his snaps in that formation too.

If we can’t consistently get Villari in space to use his skills, I think we gravitate to this.

He’s not soft

Umari Hatcher is not good. If he is playing then we are in trouble.

Cook looking like he was shot out of a cannon!

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

Well honestly as ya shouldnt give up at all. I did one time in a game in New Hartford when they double teamed me almost half game and i wasnt doing s. I got my a-- handed to me at halftime bye my dline coach and can honestly say i never quit again. I was being soft and as a man i fixed it. Had a great second half and almost came back to win. Im really not worried about it anyways as coaches see better than all of us and after he gave up on them balls last year he didnt play a lot till his injury. That level doesnt deal with that too many times. It will play itself out always.

I want to see a camp fight. I'm of the Parcells mindset that it's a good thing.

I've heard very, very things about Cook. He's going to be a beast.

I think Willis is going to have a monster year, too. I loved Lequint but when all is said and done, Willis is going to be a much better back.

LQA was everything the team needed last year; a leader in every way. Saying Yasin will be “much” better is high praise. Would you elaborate? Is it mostly a numbers issue? More run yards? Receiving yards and leadership would be hard to top. Toughness and determination, especially at the goal line, is another aspect that will be tough to eclipse, but I would take “equal” in a heartbeat!

that one play in the spring game made me a huge fan

Was the innuendo intended, or just a bonus

I agree. I love LQA and every one in the program did, too. That Yasin is receiving high praise just says a lot to me. But to answer your question, I think he will get more running yards. He's more of a traditional running back with better vision and equal toughness.

This is not directed to you, wiseman, but 'iron sharpening iron'?

He ran a basic out route versus a defender who appears to be wearing #26. Unless there's been a change, #26 is Ta'Ron Haile.

 

[SUalldway]

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

You might nit-pick that Willis stepped out of bounds, but if that is the type of blow he delivers to opponents this fall, there is a good chance some of these DBs will be heading straight to their medical tent .

Steve and Ricky are very close in OVR in NCAA (79 and 78) I wish someone at practice would start asking some of the players “When you play with Syracuse, who do you start? Steve Angeli or Ricky Collins” It’s a fun question that could also shed a little light on who the players (consciously or subconsciously) are bias towards or view as their starting QB.

I think that Willis is a completely different back than LA and will be used differently.

Why has Syracuse football’s promising tight end been sidelined early in training camp?

Jamie Tremble was Syracuse's highest-ranked recruit in the Class of 2024.

It's an interesting question but almost certainly no player will say on record who they use in a video game. They're probably instructed to praise both and be neutral

Yasin is a big cat that can really run. He'll be tough to stop once he figures out when to truck guys and when to make them miss.

He's got great hair, and I'm not taking about Angeli...
