2012 Fall Camp Thread

tommyIRISH23 · Aug 9, 2012

I just read a Eric Hansens chat on the South Bend Tribunes website. Someone asked a question about Davaris Daniels breaking out this year, and Eric answered that the only thing stopping him is maturity.

What does he mean by "maturity"? Anyone have any info?

Look at the size of Romeo Okwara towards the tail end of the first vid. He's freaking enormous. Number 45 I believe.

Romeo is one for you to watch. He is making plays like upperclassmen. Everybody says oh, he will grow into a defensive end. I think he now has and will continue to have the speed and quickness of a linebacker. And he has his head on straight. This is a guy to watch from the beginning. Your first tip will be when he gets some backup time at dog, because he can do it.

I am hearing Jake Golic broke his hand/arm? any truth to this?

He posted a picture on Instagram of himself with a broken arm, people are saying. I haven't seen it but I'm betting it's an old picture. He broke his arm in training camp last year, didn't he? Two years in a row would be too much.

Yep, I would like to to redshirt Okwara because if he is this tough at 17 imagine what he'll be like at 22, but it sounds more and more like he is ready to play right now, and we need a backup DOG. Okwara can be this year's Niklas.

Its throw back Thursday for you guys out of the loop lol.

Emcee77 · Aug 9, 2012

Throwback Thursday? Never heard of it. But it makes sense re: Golic. [Oh man we are so old and uncool. The young kids are laughing at us ... ]

Its a facebook, Twitter, instagram thing.

Has there been any word on the offensive line?

Chiefly, who looks like he is going to be joining Lombard in the starting lineup?

Golic looks like the front-runner, with Nick Martin battling.

Work ethic, probably.

The Hansen chat had a lot of good information. Apparently TJ Jones and Daniel Smith were the most productive wideouts yesterday.

man that would be the best thing for everyone...I saw someone make a real good catch with defenders all over him...he ended up on the ground WITH the ball...It looked like smith...but I couldn't tell for sure. I say Goody do some good things on that clip as well...much better than previous day.

Twitter is like short messages.

Instagram is for pictures.

Facebook is like a combination I guess.

Completely agree. I've love the little pieces I have seen in videos. Him and Shumate are my favorites personally

frankygoes69 · Aug 9, 2012

Is it me, or is this the first time in a long time that we see the Defense look effen outstanding in fall practice? Usually, I think to myself that the Offense is looking really good and the D needs work. Just a question.

Good write up for those interested http://www.presnapread.com/no-25-notre-dame/

love seeing Nix blowing people up, Grace being mentioned as laying on some hits, councel showing some flashes and ishaq really pushing prince....haven't heard 1 piece bout rabasa...i remember him being hurt at some point but isn't he back?

Bogtrotter07 · Aug 10, 2012

Councell is pretty consistent, Romeo is blowing people up, and I believe Rasaba is fine. He had the other shoulder issue, I believe.

A little something sent out by the alumni club. Nice to see ND doing more proprietary articles and videos.

SIAP but in additional to Cierre, Theo, Davonte, and Chris getting looks at PR, Cam and C.J. also got looks after Chris and Theo had a drop. The staff at BGI said Cierre looked very good back there and that they wouldn't be suprised if he got the first crack.

Two practices today and they brought in refs for the morning session.

I think CJ and Neal might be our best options back there.

peoriairish · Aug 10, 2012

Anyone thinking the reason Cierre is asking to be put back there is that he has heisman aspirations? I think he will be good, but I think Neal or CJ are faster AND quicker.

Or does he see it as a skill he will need to have once he gets to the NFL?

I feel like it has more to do with him wanting to maximize his touches. The writing is on the wall that his touches are going to be lower than previous years. That has nothing to do with his level of performance (which has been great), but more to do with the fact that we have a crap-ton of explosive guys that need touches too. We will find a way to get the ball into the hands of GAIII, Riddick and Neal. Which should unfortunately take away from some of Cierre's touches.

Just my $.02
