Belk Bowl Practice ..

[BiscuitEater]

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?

I wanna know how fletcher Adams, Deddrick thomas, mixon, stamps, and mullins look in practice

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.

I saw Thomas last spring.. Looked very explosive.. I'm hoping he gets a shot at KOR..

I'm guessing but if Dear had not also been year last spring I think Thomas would have played this year and Dear would have redshirted...

[Bothrops]

How is Murphy looking, and the new corners and D-line newbies?

Thomas was playing Slot and outside..... he was all over the place.

Murphy didn't do anything really special..... almost a step behind some of the other guys. Smitherman is the real deal..... I can't say that enough.

Didn't get to see the DL too much.... had my 11 year old son with me. Lineman are boring to kids. Stamps was a no go.... supposedly had surgery at the beginning of the season. Mixon is going to break some ankles next year. I'm surprised he hasn't run out of his shoes yet.

I heard Shump was still at RB..
I was really hoping we would try him out on the defensive side of the ball during bowl practice to see how he looked.
Maybe we make that move in the spring..

He was mainly a spectator

That's why I wish we would try him now..
We are going to give young guys basically all the reps until the final few practices.
We don't have much depth at Back up LB with injuries and Green at DE.
If we are going to move him, it would perfect time for him to get a few practices in to see how he looked..

Correct on stamps, but it was minor surgery to clean up a little issue. He should be ready to go in the spring.

[CadaverDawg]

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 yet

doesn't matter. after an egg bowl ass whippin' ,we always lose the bowl game. I could give 2 shits about it personally. would be fitting to end on another ass whippin' as far as I'm concerned. I'll probably not watch a down. certainly won't watch a live play. if we win, I'll consider watching a replay. but I doubt we could beat a JV team right now.

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

I haven't seen a lot of him to be honest. All I have seen is his highlight film and I remember that he was pretty shifty.

I think he could be what Dan would have wanted Holloway to be- an elite speed guy, but I think Mixon could be a far better player than Holloway is.
