I hope if MW gets in games later this year we do the exact same thing and let him throw the ball.

Oh, I agree, the Heisman hype is absurd considering nobody has seen him play in 2 years and never in the offense he'll be in at Auburn. He certainly has the tools, but so do guys like Austin Allen and Drew Lock. Both of whom he'll need to beat to keep his hype train on the tracks. Just nitpicking the freshman moniker and comparison to JJ which I don't think made much sense.

long story short, you're overplaying JJ's experience before being the guy and underplaying Stidham's. Stidham had more yards in his freshman season(or maybe sub-freshman season according to you since he's now just a hyper-mature freshman) than JJ had in 2 seasons of being the backup and starting games against the likes of FAU, Western Carolina, and a half against Arkansas.

Uhhhh....JJ was a Junior when he took over as THE starter. So, how are you using him as a similarity to what you described as a hyper mature freshman? JJ also only had 1 half of meaningful football. Stidham had nearly 10 times that.

Yes x infinity

That's fair. I don't think Dean is necessarily a "surprise" to most who followed him last year. But it's good to see he has recovered well from his injury. I think we'll be pretty solid at CB, but I do think we're thin as far as solid talent depth at Safety.

It's also quite a statement considering he's admitting he doesn't know much about the current secondary situation.

Corners from all reports seem to be elite level as long as they stay relatively healthy. Safeties, while maybe not elite, will be better than 2013. IIRC, Initial 2 deep in 2013 had Kiehl Frazier backing up Josh Holsey. Neither of which should have been playing a safety position.

We had Joes catered for a team outing the other day. Didn't really care about anything else that happened.

Good post, except I'd put Gronk into that all around TE group as well. When he's healthy, he's a very good blocker.

That and the guys that are considered our more "pure pass rushers" are playing Buck. Average size there in the current 2 deep is 255 lbs which fits into his 240-270 range. James III is listed at 260 and Holland at 249.

I'm trying to figure out how you could possibly have a reliable computer/algorithm based poll in the preseason.

He does a lot to try and hide his biases, but he is most definitely ACC biased.

You could also ask, what would it help? Scrimmage stats are meaningless without context. Hell, stats in general are meaningless without context.

Awesome to hear. We'll have to finally meet up for a game this season. Possibly the Mizzou game as I've seen you're also going to that one.
