2025 Preseason Camp Thread

Ok I’m going full Dino here, why release this before game day? Why not leave Tennessee guessing ? Does it matter? Feel like it’s just giving Tenn the right amount of time to scout and everything like that. Felt like this could have been internal and then rolled out Jelly for the first snap. I get you want the fans to be excited and everything like that, but someone inform me plz why this was so important to get out
 
I just watched the Myles White interview...I agree with the other comments, he's a rising star in the coaching game. But, shame on the media. They carried the same repetitive QB questions from Fran's interview into the interview with the WR coach. I could see a couple questions relating to how the decision effects the offense or something, but the repetivness was very frustrating. WR is one of the most talented groups on the team, talk about them!

I think it's playing big boy football. We'll show you what we are doing and then do it no matter how you try to stop it. We don't need to trick you, we will come right at you.
 
But seriously, I'm totally not a cop.

It's so you burn the boats.
 
The reason I referred to B.Sanders was just to say that some of the gaudy numbers he (Malachi) put up in practice may have been less about deficiencies on defense, and more about his speed/skill--and maybe some credit to the offense's blocking (O-line, TE, receivers).
Oh yeah, I got that. I wasn't criticizing you.
 
The Syracuse.com Syracuse Sports podcast guys are currently live and seem super salty about Fran picking Angeli over Collins. Javon Edmonds saying that Rickie was "clearly" the more talented player, this was the safe pick, and already openly wondering when Rickie will come in when the offense gets "stale". Ok bro. Axe feeding into it as well. They can't handle that they got their prediction wrong.

Pretty wild to definitively be saying that Rickie is more talented when nobody has seen him play a down, let alone in practice. Fran got mad at Axe for a dumb question in the press conference too...I'm not surprised they aren't getting any scoops
In his .com article on the QB1 pick, Axe clearly had an ax to grind (pun intended). Almost bordering on being unprofessional. What's his beef? Did he tell his paid insiders the wrong scoop & now has to justify being wrong? From reading this Board today it seems that a majority of posters here are at least ok, if not positive, about the decision. Is Axe not reading the SU fanbase well?

We’re so back! We got takes that SU football is too secretive about camp and not secretive enough like 2 pages apart!

(For the record I agree with your thought, but media would have drawn their own conclusions when the same guy goes first in every drill for the rest of camp)

They could spend 20 minutes and see every collegiate snap both Angeli and Collins have taken

It’s not like we have Mike Vick and Tom Brady as our options

These are similar players with similar skills. Neither are dual threat guys

You prepare against Nixon, not the QBs

Who cares? We could roll out Andrew Robinson and Fran still showering before boarding that plane back to Syracuse. Dart by a 100
 
Who are you, the Syracusefan.com police? We can compare whoever we want to whoever we want. We have, at least, 2 running backs that are future Hall of Famers.
Syracusefan.com police are only on the pay side where they help the less discerning recognize the difference between holes in the ground and other more anatomical things with holes in them.

There is a reason that our good sports media people go to bigger markets, and Axe is still here. Axe wouldn’t know athletic talent if it walked up and introduced itself.
 
You could see Fran getting frustrated being asked the same questions over and over. He told everyone why he chose Angelli, but they still kept asking the same question. He even told them so. I wanted to know what players stood out in the scrimmage? What young player surprised you? Did the offense move the ball consistently? How’s the defense stopping the run? Is our defensive line getting in the backfield! Fran might not want to answer some of these questions, but asking him over and over about which quarterback demonstrates the best leadership is just lazy.

I just watched the podcast this morning. The local media is an embarrassment to football is all I will say. They are a joke.

Edit: At least I’m not seeing the inside of ladies bathrooms any more LOL.

What do you think Tenn would be guessing about? Neither of the guys has any meaningful recent tape. Neither has ever ran a play in an Orange jersey or in the Nixon Offense. As many have rightfully said here the ridiculousness of calling Collins a dual threat QB is just not how it is. Faster maybe but not to the extent that our offense was ever going to be having Rickie run the ball.

On the other hand I can see it as a distraction for the next two weeks when every single coach and player gets asked every 10 mins who they think the QB1 will be.

Tennessee does not care who the QB is. Their Defensive gameplan and playcalling would not change at all even if for 4 quarters Angeli and Rickie traded snaps every down.

I'm honestly interested in if people really think this how the sport works at the highest levels, If so I think we may have lived in mediocrity for too long.

Just realized I responded to a post that you had already covered quite nicely. Nailed it. Well put.

But why did you pick Angeli? OK next question. But why did you not pick Rickie? OK next question. But why did you like Angeli more than Rickie? Ok next question. But why did you like Rickie less? Is one less DART than the other?
