2026 Spring Practice Thread

[dublinirish]

I have to believe that they'll have a conversation with Thomas after the season and tell him that he'll never play here since he can't put on the weight.

nothing wrong with an underweight situational pass rusher. not everyone is cut out to be an every down player

He’s a long way from being underweight

 

[Dale]

For Francis Brewu I want them to list his BMI all season not his weight.

same

 

[zelezo vlk]

hes in Thailand

Sorry Pete, this had to be done

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

Pete's the whitest lotus

 

[CanadalovesND]

He’s not a junior, anymore

 

[TNUtoNotreDame]

He’s not a junior, anymore

He is actually a sophomore

 

[RudyVerse]

Bettis and Plexico's kid look well put together. No wasted pounds on those guys.

 

[ab2cmiller]

Sorry if said earlier, but sounds like Grubbs was pretty impressive today. Irish Illustrated's report talked about him throwing with "remarkable zip"

He does have plenty of zip. I do think he needs to work on his deep throws. He tends to throw most of his balls on a line. He just needs to be able to throw with a little more loft at times. Excited to see what the kid can do.

His best path to PT is probably become a jacked run blocker first, WR second

A 4 man pass rush with that secondary? Someone get me a cigarette.

Makes sense, this is the highest upside group you can have until either Jagusah and/or Craig returns to action.

They need someone to push Absher and I'm interested to see who steps up.

3rd and 11 for Darian Mensah with Keon Keeley, Rodney Dunham, Bryce Young, and Boubacar Traore coming after him is going to be pure electricity.

Or Sneed missiling in from somewhere.

We need to add the “horny” emoji to our reaction options

#10 throws a "catchable" ball from those clips. flat flight and tight spin. No pressure, of course, but that is how it should look.

 

[RudyVerse]

I love Grubbs but this program has turned the page, if you don’t have a deep ball you’re not going to be the starter. Now he may develop it but our floor has raised.

 

[GrangerIrish24]

On the podcast, O’Malley said there were 3 fights during practice. Yes please.

 

[Dale]

Reddish worked exclusively at Nickel apparently.

So Gray/Golden - Reddish

Jayden Sanders also got a whirl on the nickel merry go round.

Read one was Shuler/Golden v Faison which tracks as “good” scrapping. Don’t want some nobodies causing chaos

 

[Dale]

Sounds like 2 INTs from Carr, 1 or 2 from Grubbs from reports

 

[Dale]

The reports on Hebert read as check down Charlie (beat gonna give him the job like they did Minchey)

Does anyone have the first day of camp starters on offense and defense?

I know it’s first day just curious

Woof

 

[Crazy Balki]

Woof

TBF, one of those was a great throw that was going to Faison, who had a step on Golden. It was on the money.

But Tae Johnson is gonna Tae Johnson.

 

[T-Boone]

Cannot believe Carr gets a woof for day 1 where he is probably looking to be aggressive - overly so - and doesn’t have the touch yet. I love it. He isn’t going to be facing DBs as good as these for a long while.

 

[Dale]

Assume he’s joking

 

[Dale]

 

[burmafrd1944]

rusty taking chances things like that and the DBs are making him pay
good thing on both sides
Forcing Carr to up his game and by that he will force them to up theirs

 

[dublinirish]

you always want a healthy amount of interceptions

 

[317Irish]

One spring practice in sounds like the best opportunity to say it: we stay healthy we win the Natty.

Its in Matt Freeman's story on ISD.
