Things about things

[MT949597]

Barney won't be going anywhere before the season and it's not a guarentee he'll be gone after it's over. But if the line continues to struggle and Bo wants Tyler Moore back on the team then Barney can't be around.

 

Tim Beck is gaining confidence with his playing calling and is going to be opening up a lot more this season. Obviously after a year Beck will have more confidence in Taylor to do more things with this offense, and Taylor will be improved as well to do more things in this offense. One of the things slowing Beck down last year was not getting into rythm to start the game, but when he was able to run what he really wanted, see second half Ohio St., Washington, his offense took off. Last year they didn't feel like they had a capable backup so Taylor had to stay in no matter what the situation. Bo and Beck have no confidence in Brion from a knowledge standpoint, they think he's a great athlete but still can't grasp the playbook which will keep him from seeing the field.

 

This year will be different, Tommy Armstrong has come in ready to go, along with Ron Kellog looking great, according to most he truly looks like the most complete QB right now just through drills and running scrimmages, his passes have been on target all over the place and he really throws a great ball. This year Beck will allow Taylor to go more and use his feet because he's not as worried with Taylor coming out of the game as was last season with Armstrong and Kellogg their to take the reigns if Taylor went down.

 

Jamal is showing to be much more consistent on day to day than he was last year which is a good sign, he should see great playing time, and the coaches love his athleticism. He's off the charts talent-wise. Jordan Westerkamp has come in and impressed as well, he has great hands and is already an above-average route runner considering he only got here this summer and has truly learned almost everything in just over a month.

 

TE's are looking very good this year with Cotton and Reed, and Beck talked at length with Bill Belichick about how to utilize his tight ends much the same way the Pats did last year with Gronk and Hernandez, Beck may try to do some similar things to get them good looks.

 

LB's may be better than people will realize, Will Compton has taken huge steps from last season to improve his speed and just all around ability as LB, Whaley, Anderson, and Rose are also playing very well and could be studs by midseason at least. Throw in David Santos as well to find a lot of action.

 

DB's are looking good, Smith and Stafford have appeared to lock up the safety positions and look really good, Andrew Green has one side of the field locked down. Evans, Jackson, and Seisay are battling for the nickel spot and, the other corner should be Mitchell. Coaches love Mitchell's athletic ability, say he's freak, just small.

 

Also a rotation of Punt returners included Ameer, Turner, Jackson, and Brion Carnes

Brion Carnes....intriguing......

I think Kellogg's biggest problem is mobility. He isn't in the same league as Martinez and is probably outdoneby Carnes/Armstrong, too. He's got a good arm and he's a good kid (had him in a class last semester). He probably could have done well somewhere else.

[zoogs]

What a spectacular fall from grace for Carnes, if this is all true. All the athletic ability and promise in the world...but gotta get your head in the game, man.

I LOL'd.

 

but yeah, Carnes as a PR? In intramurals you could throw the ball on kickoff returns as long as you didn't run with it first. perhaps this is in the works???

[zoogs]

This ain't innrrmurals, brother

 

Would be a creative way of utilizing Carnes' athleticism if he really isn't 'getting it' at QB. Carnes has some real shake-and-bake.

Im hearing SBJ is the leading canidate. Hes 6'3" with speeeeeed, and will give WRs a fit with his size. Its true they like Mitchell but at 160 his weakest assett is run support, or we might be seeing him more. Siesay has been working at Nickle and Dime, to get the best players on the field all at once. I still wouldnt rule out Siesay to take over on the outside once he gets more experience in Bos scheme, but you gotta love SBJs size and his experience at WR, i dont think any other corner on our roster makes that INT at the OSU game, and all he really did was make a play on the ball. The guy has such length being 6 3 but the speed and hips of a 5 11 corner, will be interesting to see how it plays out, sounds like we are 2 deep at CB with little to no dropoff.

 

Davies has been having a heck of a fall camp as well, saying he is extremely fast and fluid, great hips. The coaches are really high on Davies and Mitchell. We are so deep at corner right now its pretty ridiculous and with Bell being the only SR, the next few years are looking bright. Insiders on pay sites are putting their reps on the line saying this defense will be one of the best Bo has ever coached, mostly because of the secondary, and just the overall experience of the starters coming back, they are playing with the "team defense" that makes Bos defenses successful.

[teachercd]

Why do I get the feeling that we will not see SBJ play at all? I have no idea why I think that, I just do.

[onlyHskrfaninIL]

my boy Antonio Bell will surprise many and be the starter opposite Andrew Green

[da skers]

Why do I get the feeling that we will not see SBJ play at all? I have no idea why I think that, I just do.

He'll play but he's behind Bell right now. He and Seisey are pretty even. All three have been running reps with the ones.
