Hayseed Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Sounds like everyone had fun at the Spring Party. I've always felt you gain next to nothing by watching this spring thing. Key players aren't there...standout performers may never be seen again. Quote Link to comment

brophog Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 I thought it went about as expected, from play calling to execution. The biggest thing I took away was Rhule, himself. He was clearly in charge, active, and tried to take advantage of the situations that were presented. This didn’t feel like a throwaway day, as spring games often do. I know some of the execution may be questioned for the next few months, and that’s totally fair, but I think everyone should be a little more confident that some of the gameday management issues that have plagued this team for so long will be immediately remedied and over time those execution errors will decrease. 4 1 Quote Link to comment

knapplc Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 The White team now has a three-game win streak over Red. Before last year, White hadn't won back-to-back games since the sellout streak started. White has won four of the last seven. From 1962-2011 Red was 40-9-1. 2 Quote Link to comment

The Dude Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 I liked the part where the team practiced playing football. Haven't seen that in a good long while. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 For all the drooling over fullbacks, under center and 13 personnel, we saw a ton of shotgun 3- and 4- (and 5-!) wide. Which was what I expected. I liked that we threw a lot of intermediate routes - slants and 6-8 yard curls. Our QBs seemed pretty accurate on those throws. There weren't much for deep shots, and we weren't good on the ones that were there. Hopefully that changes. I'll give the OL the benefit of the doubt on lack of available bodies and lots of snaps. They seemed to do fairly well in the first quarter, though there was still not a lot of room to run the ball. Pretty ugly in the second half. I hope Princewell and Lenhardt are just that good ..... and not the other option. Kemp might not be a blazer but he looks to have enough quickness and moves to be a great addition. Lots of drops and fumbles. Not a good sign. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment

thexyz Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Most encouraged by the defense and play of quarterback Simms. We just don’t have experienced deep threats. That’s an area we’re probably going to have a challenge with for some time to come until those speedsters get some seasoning. Expected a little more production from our backs. Maybe some of that’s the strength of the run defense. Part of that’s not having a legitimate vertical threat. Not much at all for break away runs there. Physically the team looks leaner and a bit more agile. The offensive line in particular to me seemed to me to have improved movement. Both lines were more fluid. TE Gilbert struck out the times that he had opportunities. The tight ends will be integral. Haarberg’s play was also disappointing. Too many fumbles. The defense will likely carry the team. At least in the earlier stages of the season. They’re missing some pieces and played well. Coach White should have a formidable group. It’d be great if we could make at least one good addition to the O-line. It’ll be interesting how the QB competition between Thompson and Simms plays out. We’ll have two solid quarterback options. 1 Quote Link to comment
