When did Jason Smith turn into a starter? That guy barely even got to play last season. Lol. Is he showing signs of improvement, or are you just plugging in the Senior, until more info on the slot position is out?

Jason Smith fell out of flavor with Kodi. Guess they patched things up. Part of the Mobile problem Kodi has.

How is Johnson ahead of Jackson at DT??

 

 

[LKEEL75 2,566]

Not to beat the dead horse here, but JF III is listed above TQ on the QB depth chart and he is not even playing QB.  WTH is going on with TQ?  Is he just riding that scholarship and getting his degree?  Just very strange in my opinion.

I guess that answers my question...

This is a lineup that could win a championship.  Not saying they will but I don't see a whole lot of weak spots.

For those of us not in the know, can you explain this Mobile problem? It's the first time I'm hearing of this

[boisnumber1 2,818]

KJ still at KR. Ugh. Aggravates me. What do coaches see that no one else does?

[Piketiger1990 173]

What stands out to me is secondary depth/ injuries. Hopefully Dinson and Dean can come back full strength.

And hopefully Matthews, Roberts, or Ruffin don't get injured

I don't have any problem with KJ @ KR.  I know a lot of people say he just ran into the pile last year, but KJ is very quick and shifty on his feet.  Also, it takes a special kind of person to want to run at full steam while having a whole other team run at you at full speed.  KR & PR are 2 of the most ballsiest positions on the field.  Very few other times does someone get such a clean clear lick at full speed.

[vatz22au 142]

Eh.  I see some glaring discrepancies.  For example, Nate-Craig being listed as 3rd string behind a guy listed as a starter in multiple positions but is missing spring because of "personal business".  Usually personal business = "Get your *ss back in the classroom and study" but that is a big assumption by me.

FWIW Kyle Davis is the receiver missing spring for Personal Business, not NCM

you're reading his comment incorrectly. He IS referring to KD in his comment about missing for personal reasons, but still listed #1, but NCM being #3..

Where did Tucker Brown come from. Today at practice running left guard on 2nd team? Harrell?

What is the Mobile problem Kodi has?  Is it different from his other recruiting oppurtinities for improvement?

KJ is somewhat quick but speedy he is not. I want someone back there that worries the opponent, someone they fear. KJ is not that in any way. Put anyone else back there with him thats decent & they will kick to KJ every time. Hes no threat as KR.

[bigbird 60,500]

I wouldn't mind KMart returning kicks.

It's been solved. T-Will took over. All is good.

I wonder if JFIII would be any good at kick Returns. He certainly has the speed and moves. Just don't know if he can catch.

I would think if he was/could he would be given the chance. Maybe the extra work at WR will help him out.

JF3 can't hold onto the ball. Please don't put him back on kickoff's.

Yep, I was trying to be more subtle.
