2014 Fall Camp Thread

“@ISDUpdate: Soph RB Greg Bryant catches the ball very well out of the backfield. Flashed that again today”

 

[STLDomer]

“@ISDUpdate: Irish D mixed in man and zone today. Looked much better in zone. Forced several late Zaire picks after tipped balls and overthrows”

“@EHansenNDI: Tough stretch late for QB Malik Zaire, who threw picks to Cole Luke and Cody Riggs on consecutive attempts. Both passes were tipped.”

 

[ResLife Hero]

“@NDatRivals: Probably the most noteworthy performance by Josh Atkinson in his career, aggressive and in position at corner with the 1st team.”

We've talked about linemen and linebackers benefiting from the scheme change, but maybe Atkinson was just lost in space. We know he's got speed so maybe getting in someone's grill and locking them down will be something he can handle better.

“@NDatRivals: Impressed with Austin Collinsworth in the red zone drill today. Active, decisive, got around the ball. Offense couldn’t score.”

Tom Loy

If there is a safety that moves around better than Max Redfield, I haven't seem him. He's an elite athlete and is always around the ball.

Andrew Owens
Chris Brown continues to impress. Should be a nice weapon in the intermediate and deep game.

Tom Loy
Will Fuller continues to make plays for the offense. Really difficult to slow him down.

Andrew Owens
Nic Weishar has excellent hands. Really enjoy watching him play.

Tom Loy
Justin Brent had a strong first practice on Monday but struggled today. Had some tough drops.

Agree on Redfield. His high school video is amazing.

“@NDatRivals: Tyler Luatua continues to be a very intriguing athlete, worked in the backfield as an H-back today.”

“@ISDUpdate: Freshman TE Tyler Luatua is getting a lot of work in real action. Pushing hard already for PT”

YES!! I was really hoping we'd start mixing that into our scheme.

For those of you wondering, that's the worst grade you can have without essentially ending a season. Grade 4 is total separation.
