2021 Spring Practice

[BabyIrish]

My take always:
QB’s look good throwing
Foskey looks like a Tuitt clone

 

[Luckylucci]

Foskey certainly looking first off the bus worthy. Him and Botelho should be fun to watch.

is like to see some Bear fronts with those guys on both ends like Lea did with Hayes and Okwara at times.

Can't remember the last time a ND player said something this cocky. Love it.

Yup. Need more swagadocious personality from a couple key folks.

Looks like he's put on good weight. Good thing, but hope he hasn't lost speed.

 

[T-Boone]

Yep thats classic from Tyree. I hope he endds up catching a lot of passes.

 

[T-Boone]

Is Coan the 17? Looks pretty good to me. I was hoping that was Buchner.

I just can't see Botelho sitting behind Foskey for 2 years. I think we'll see a bunch of times when he subs for Jus Ade.

yup
TB is 12

 

[calvegas04]

Coan looking good

 

[deise mike]

I know there were only a couple of clips, but how did TBs throwing action look compared to the one last summer?

 

[T-Boone]

yup
TB is 12

I liked the couple passes he threwed as well even though they were incomplete.
One of them was good work from someone.

 

[T-Boone]

I thought the action looked good. That first one that got broken up looked much zippy compared to his camp lowlights from last year.

 

[T-Boone]

Coan is 6-3 and he looks all of that in his motion. Doesnt dip or whatever. It is possible he is an upgrade on Book.

 

[Luckylucci]

I think you’ll see them play together quite a bit. I’d be very surprised if one only plays when the other comes off the field. For example, I would imagine they play together in the Nickel/Dime packages.

Is it August yet?

 

[Trait Expectations]

Where is the practice schedule?

[greyhammer90]

I kind of dig this schedule if for no other reason than we'll get a longer info drip than normal. Nothing is worse than getting into the long long offseasons in early April. With this schedule we only have 3 months until fall camp. *insert crackhead mike jpg here*

 

[IrishLax]

I'm ticked that they aren't allowing media access. Means all info will have to be leaks from coaches/players... and often times those are intentionally slanted.

Often times or every time?

 

[irishandy]

If Austin and Lenzy can stay healthy this year, do you think they'll be productive?

I like the idea of Williams and Tyree on the field together, with Tyree's speed they could move him around use him as a slot, jet sweep.

That's a MIGHTY BIG IF!

I want to see 2 back sets, but also want to see W at RB and T out of the slot at times.

 

[Dale]

Been trying to think of a team that was heavy 2 Back Set, without mobile QB recently and struggling to think of one. Certainly teams that use 2 Backs but not a frequent set together. I’m sure there is an obvious one forgetting but would have to think one essentially plays Slot WR if they are on field together that much

Some concepts Panthers used with Curtis Samuel and CMC/Davis might be in the realm

Chip Kelly's Oregon teams are the only ones i can think of in recent times that really heavily featured a two back set but De'Anthony Thomas was always a slot/Rb tweener

 

[Trait Expectations]

We don't need to be 2 back heavy, we just need it in the arsenal. We are hopefully multiple and capable of inflicting a thousand deep cuts to our opponents. They want to go light and fast? We bring in the 12/13 package. They want to load up the box with their bigs? We go 4-5 wide or split backs. I just really hope we double or triple the number of passes thrown >30 yards. That's a must if we want to take another step.

[StPaul_Irish]

Picks by both JC and TBuch... When is Kelly going to develop a QB?

 

[fightingirish26]

PBU and INT by Justin Walters there... the safety depth chart is far from set in stone outside KH. Would be very welcome news if he can make an impact.

 

[Irish#1]

Would have been nice if someone would have turned on the lights for practice.
