2025 Spring Practice/Game

[wfschrec]

The Clemson game of 2023? The one we lost by 17? He had 2 catches. We were thoroughly dominated.

You can be objective and notice his limitations, like blocking, which got Kyle sacked/LeQuint stuffed in the backfield multiple times last season. He dropped multiple first downs last year as well. Do you watch the games?

He meant the GT game where he completed 14 of 14 and had 12 carries for 81 yards. When healthy Dan can do a variety of things … jack of all trades, master of none but he plays with more guts than most. Try to at least cut him some slack the dude had more tape holding him together than a 78 Pinto.

Dan appears at 2:05. Best player on the field that day.

he did all his damage in one drive

no one is the best player on the field if they only have 1 good drive lol

Hey this Dan Villari discussion would pair well with the Devito and Dungy discussion in the Devito thread. Here I will help you guys out.
"Grrr...grrr...Villari was way better than Dungy and Devito, no contest! Though Dungy was tougher!!".
Good to go.

16 year old?

He turns 17 either this Wednesday or next Wednesday. Axe mentioned it in his latest pod.

If he was that hurt, than the staff should be questioned for continuing to run him out there last season. Him and Mang were consistent weak links, especially in the running game.

Let's hope it was the injury.

And if that was the case then why did Clement not get more PT? Hopefully Clement is ready this year. He is pretty much the only blocking TE option in 2025.

Fran Brown says 16-year-old Demetres Samuel Jr. should start at corner for Syracuse football next year

Syracuse football coach Fran Brown said that SU fans will enjoy watching Samuel in college for three years.

It's a great question.

Was Villari/Mang the best option, or was the staff honoring their seniority? Will be curious to see what the offense looks like this season.

I always think of what Dino said when asked why Ravian Pierce wasn't getting more action. TE's must first be great blockers to be able to have the opportunity to catch the ball. Of course, then they have to be able to catch the ball...

And they have to avoid getting 15 yard penalties after they catch the ball.

Dude was a walking penalty machine. His crowning achievement was the personal foul from the sideline.

Some of the freshman are posting on their Instagram stories, their 2 month body transformations. So far Byron Washington has gone from 27% body fat to 24%, and Darius Johnson has gained 20lbs.

Hopefully we’re at the end of touted OL coming in and putting on more bad weight than they arrived with.

My seats at the time were on that sideline and I can picture it like it happened yesterday. It's my lasting image of him.

This team is absolutely juiced up at spring time.

I know it’s a really hard schedule but don’t be surprised if they shock us all.

Wow.

As long as you don't mean juiced up like Jurickson Profar we're cool

We all miss the Rav Dog

Axe and the new beat writer do a podcast. I try and listen when I can. They mentioned potential true or redshirt freshman that have impressed.

Obviously Samuel is a given but they mentioned Davion Kerr (Kerr 2?), Darius Johnson, and Jaylen Hornsby as players who have looked good during the limited media viewing.

Live Action!

Warning: Laser spirals.

Like what I see from Collins and Jakari.

Love that we have a real qb competition this season compared to other years with qb competition.

Fran is doing something special here in Syracuse.

I knew we had one mutant in Deslauriers, but didn't know we had two.

Really excited to see Samuels in action.

Old man

We talk about the physical aspects, but the kid must be pretty smart to already be in college at that age.
