Think today (Fri) was the first practice. Any insights from anybody that was there?
Grades for the fall semester should be in by now. Any noticeable absences noted?
Any new wrinkles? Offense? Defense?
Thanks,
Biscuit

D Lee was practicing, Staley wasn't there, N Gibson is our best running back (IMO), Tiano looks like Peyton Manning throwing the ball, Green is practicing at DE, Peters is practicing everywhere on D, Walley is done, Smitherman is our most talented DB on the field right now, and that's about it..... they just went through drills without pads.
Tiano a dark horse to win the job next season?Quote:

He was 4th string at practice and probably behind Staley (even though Staley wasn't there). Tiano won't win any jobs next year, but he may sneak up the list to #2.Quote:

How is Murphy looking, and the new corners and D-line newbies?
Thomas was playing Slot and outside..... he was all over the place.Quote:

Maybe we make that move in the spring..
He was mainly a spectatorQuote:

Correct on stamps, but it was minor surgery to clean up a little issue. He should be ready to go in the spring.
Glad to hear Smitherman looks solid. Supposedly he busted his ass this summer with Redmond and the veterans...sounds like it paid off.
Ryan Brown had surgery on foot. Out for bowl game.
I still think Shumpert should be a FB. Peters is a freak show. I love Deddrick Thomas as well. I think he has a chance to be a special KR/PR for us.
You haven't seen Mixon yetQuote:

You seem like a fun person to hang out with.....Quote:

Yall effers are depressing on here. I'll just keep on drankin beam and watchin some movies.
