2021 Fall Camp Notes - Defensive Backs

[Undone]

What I'm mainly happy about from a lot of these clips is that Manning is in them, and he's getting thrown to.

I know it's just practice/scrimmage, but still. It seems like he's going to be ready to go and make an impact against Illinois.

Word from JoJo is Phalen Sanford had an INT, a fumble returned for a TD and a sack in the scrimmage.

I idea what offensive unit he was going against at that time but that's pretty good production.  Good to see (hear) the testing numbers translate to the field.  I would think he'd at least be on the field for some special teams this fall.

Supposedly one of the things the Florida DBs who left were butthurt about was how many reps Sanford was getting, like it was favoritism toward the no-name Nebraska kid. He did have an INT in the spring game, too.

Boohoo....if you want more reps....work harder than the local kid.

That interception in the spring game really shouldn't have happened. Martinez should have gotten it further downfield.

Fisher said playing on special teams is almost a requirement for his guys.  They're planning to take 11 DBs to Illinois and all would be on at least one special teams unit.

One comment that was made on the JoJo pod cast is that before now, there wasn't enough depth to risk having the top guys on special teams.  Now, they have much more depth so the risk isn't as bad.

That's a good sign.

Is Joseph hurt?

I want to see Manning give a Kenny Bell block.  That's one big wide receiver.

I would prefer him to just do a nice solid block so he's not kicked out of a game.

Ehhh.  Depends on the game and quarter.  I still say that was a legal block and a crap rule.

It was a garbage end of half throw, and he didn't follow through because his lineman was getting pushed back into him. NBD.

Sadly it's illegal now.

Sadly it's illegal now.

It was illegal when he did it too.

And it was a crazy windy day too.  All QBs struggled from the wind, from what I remember.
