Reading social media it sounds like Thompson was very impressive even though it was the first day. Mullen commented on it and Fitz said he was surprised how good he looked. Did anyone catch practice or see the Facebook feed?

I'm glad he's doing well. I still want him to RS though. We need that. Hopefully someone else can be the garbage time QB.
Rankin at Center??? SMH.
Rankin at Center? Hoooooo-leeeeee-shit
That's just preparing him for one of Mullen's top secret trick plays, where Rankin will snap the ball from his LT position***Quote:

Is that the same play where he runs down the field acting like he's lost?Quote:

So this is this out of a Mullen presser? Did Mullen say Rankin worked exclusive at center?Quote:

Who worked at the tackle spots? Was Rankin the only one at center? Did Rankin play any other position today?Quote:

No, he didn't say that he worked exclusively at center but when asked the question who worked at center today "Martinas" was the first name out of his mouth so glean from that what you will. He also mentioned Elgton Jenkins at center before Moon as well.Quote:

Who said Rankin was working with the 1st group?Quote:

Yep. Mentioning someone's name first means they are the starter**Quote:

Especially if it continues all spring. Rankin needs to be perfecting LT and we should have Williams or someone else working at C.Quote:

We got OL problems people
Do you really think Dan was trolling his own fanbase after we just gave him a four year extension? He didn't say it like Dan being a smartass at all. It was just he answered the question that he was asked which was who worked at center. He talked about Martinas the most of the three. He mentioned that he was the only senior o-lineman and had to be a leader.Quote:

Not to mention the folly of not redshirting Jamaal Clayborn- which we actually had TWO chances to do since he barely played in 2014 because he had some family issues which I think was a death in the family. If Clayborn is back as a fifth year senior our o-line would absolutely be a strength this upcoming year.
Williams is hurt, too.Quote:
