Angeli has arrived

[GoSU96]

not too many Seniors starting.

I didn’t say seniors, I said upperclassmen, that includes Jrs.

Wr, OL, TE, DL, LB, and DB.

And I didn’t say all

I was in to see my dentist this morning. He is a Notre Dame grad, a donor, and he has Joe Montana's autographed jersey in his office.

The bad news is I have to have a root canal.

The good news is that he loves Angeli and thinks he will do very well for us.

I am particularly excited to see what Yasin Willis can do with more snaps. Don’t know if he can provide the same pass catching and blocking abilities that LQA did. But I think from a pure runner perspective, he has even higher upside potential than Sean Tucker.

I don't think he has the ability that Tucker had. He was a special talent that Nixon would've had rushing for 1500-2000 yards.

I'd be very happy (surprised maybe) for 800 from Willis this season.

Thank you for making these sacrifices.

We cant read and react as we have to be aggressive downhill defensively.

Any word if Erob is moving in that direction?

I know the players and staff are very high on him

Please read all my posts on the subject.

There were some comments made that went a little over the top, and it's a well known, tired trope that has been used specifically about black QBs over the years. It's okay to call out microaggressions when you see them.

As I said before, I hope the best QB wins the job, whether that is Angeli or Collins.

What trope are you referring to? The original QB deemed not smart enough to digest the playbook was...Terry Bradshaw. Warren Moon and Doug Williams blew-up all the other BS that you seem to be fixated on.

I'm high on him too. I'm just not at Sean Tucker levels.

We all know that he was the infamous 5th, non-conforming dentist.

Well, if not sugarless gum, what was he recommending gum chewers? Dental iconoclasts have no place in a high functioning society.

Our running back situation is strange. Yasin, should be good. But after him... Nixon was serviceable but is coming off an injury. Hart, unknown. Malachi's, raw. Hill, freshman. Heaven forbid Yasin gets hurt. Yet, it didn't seem like Fran was concerned enough to entertain any potential transfers this offseason. He must be more confident in that room than I am.

I do want to emphasize the word potential. I was encouraged by what I saw in his limited snaps this past season. He had a higher 247 grade than both Tucker and Allen out of high school and better offer sheets. Not to say that matters most, but just to put it out there that it won’t be crazy if he turns out better than his predecessors.

 

[JrodCuse]

I think if we can find a way to run on them like end of year last year we could beat them and our d is gonna be huge. We cant read and react as we have to be aggressive downhill defensively.

Someone’s getting excited!

Sean Tucker was the best running back this program has had this century. At least since Barry Baker the touchdown maker.

Give me LQA anytime.

 

[Chip]

Give me LQA anytime.

They were different, but I'd take either.

Glad Willis got a year from LQA, got to see that heart up close and personal.

I didn't see Tucker's vision in Willis, and that's a big attribute to succeed at this level. He has the physical tools.

I think we see more distribution of carries this year, assuming Nixon is fully healthy. Willis will get the most carries but we will see plenty of both.

I have high hopes for Willis as well but he really only had two good games back to back against holy cross and UNLV. Other than that he was not great. He did also have 3 carries for 20 yards against the Miami. But it’s a small sample size. He was just a freshman so maybe he wasn’t quite comfortable yet and his head was spinning.

I think Nixon was a bit better than serviceable. He looked pretty good. If he is healthy, I honestly expect him to get about as much action as Willis. He is certainly the more well rounded back as he was a good receiver as well. Not quite Lequint but still solid.

I do think the RB group this year will definitely be a step down from Lequint. Really think we need to recruit a bit better there but maybe it was a bit hard just because we passed it so well and threw the ball all over. But Nixon was a RB coach in the NFL so you would think that would help a bit.

 

[IthacaBarrel]

He’s been here since May. Other things like leadership, dedication to working out with the receivers, and film study are fair to evaluate before fall camp.

Unbelievable stuff here. WOW

I like what i saw out of the kid from Indiana in practice.

To be fair the coaches didn’t see it earlier until the 4 guys ahead of him got hurt

 

[orange79]

If we don’t start hearing some inside leaks that Angeli is clicking and making strides to become the clear #1 then we might be in trouble. Crickets so far.

You never cease to amaze me.


Don't ever change.
