2022 Fall Camp Thread

[ThePiombino]

If our redshirt junior center who is in place of a future NFL player can't get some push on a true frosh, that's a problem.

Folks that have seen way more reps than us this fall camp seem to not be concerned. On the contrary, they're quite impressed. If you want something to worry about, focus on CB or QB.

So we’re just sort of nitpicking then?

What else are we supposed to do when we've been deprived of meaningful, 2-minute videos of camp action in real time, and instead only receive 45-second videos comprised of two clips, stretched out via slow-motion and unfocused because of shoddy post-production work.

I can't declare any of the freshman to be future Heisman winners if the only shots we see are Tobias Merriweather looking tall and Gi'Bran Payne running half-speed against air.

What we really need is a return to the glory days, where we could watch the young guys take REAL* reps, and then dissect what we've seen for three weeks, leading right up to the release of the first game-week depth chart.


*Reps at the back of the line, against other freshmen or walk-ons, where success is a given and the frame of reference is appropriately warped

Who wants to play WR

Then complain about it and how it is wrong, and how IE members know more then the staff!

You forgot that part

That ain't good

We are getting close to the dream of an 05 personnel grouping.

TE TE LT LG C RG RT TE TE TE
--------------QB----------------

Honestly, as long as we have Styles, Thomas, Lenzy, and Merriweather healthy I think we're going to be fine. I think if you lose two or more of those guys then we are totally cooked. But I expect Thomas to really step up in the slot by year end.

Sleeping on Davis?

OSU is down to only 6 scholarship CBs after an injury. Didn’t get portal help at risk of transfer outs

[Riddickulous]

Michael Mayer is going to get like 250 targets this year at this rate

 

[Jeff1921]

7 scholarship receivers at a program like ND is totally unnaceptable.

our receivers better be well conditionned or they gonna get gassed real quick as we saw vs Oklahoma State in the second half.

Yeah, we don't accept it man.

Too late for Braylon James to reclassify?

Agreed, Davis will play a role, we have Wilkins back soon, Tyree can split out, Raridon and/or Mayer. We have options it's just putting the pieces together.

 

[Jeff1921]

probably and he would have to learn the playbook in a hurry + adjusting to the speed of D1 football..

 

[NDdomer2]

Payne better start cross training as well

 

[Dale]

 

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

It's starting to feel like Carmody is snake bit. Less than a year ago he looked like he was about to seize a multi year starting role.

 

[Jeff1921]

Payne better start cross training as well

and and i would throw Xavier Watt in the mix.

It seems like we don't really hear about him from the coaches since he moved to safety.

 

[IrishLax]

Sleeping on Davis?

I think he starts -- being a veteran, key player, leader, etc. -- but given his injury I would expect Thomas to have earned a significant share of his minutes by year end. Everything I hear about Thomas is that while he's not explosive he has been showing a ton of consistency both getting separation and making plays after the catch.

Scuttlebutt is basically:
-Styles is the real deal. He and Mayer will lead the team, with everyone else filling important roles.
-Lenzy is exactly the same player but every year he gets a little bit better at everything he does so he should be a weapon as always (but not a true "alpha" do-it-all receiver)
-Thomas is going to be an extremely good college receiver and probably a pro before all is said and done
-Merriweather looks like a future R1 WR but like every freshman he's not going to have the weight and consistency to dominate day 1. He'll show flashes and then by year 2 he'll be destroying fools.

Jayden Thomas directly into Jaden Greathouse

 

[notredomer23]

My key takeaways:

-Estime has good hands
-Tyree the only offensive player mentioned in the most physical drill
-Staes continues to be biggest surprise/impressive

He doesn't need to be, thankfully. All he needs to be is Chris Brown-esque

He's pretty dangerous in space. He can be lethal on jet sweeps, reverses, etc. Could be wrong but it felt like he didn't get as many of those opportunities last year as he did in his sophomore season.

Notre Dame football fall camp practice No. 7 observations: offense

Notre Dame practiced for the seventh time in August on Friday, and it was a heck of a day for the Fighting Irish offense.

www.on3.com

• Buchner’s best throw of the day — and the most explosive play of the day, period — came on a downfield heave to junior running back Chris Tyree. Tyree got well behind senior linebacker JD Bertrand on a double-move down the right sideline. Buchner laid the ball beautifully into Tyree’s breadbasket. It was a similar throw to the one he made to Kevin Austin Jr. against Virginia Tech last fall; an absolute dime down the right sideline. Tyree’s double-move (and simply lining up against Bertrand in a clear mismatch) made it much easier on Buchner, but the QB still had to deliver the goods. And he did.

Lot of Buchner hype in here.

Confirms that JD is slow. Can't even keep up with Tyree.

Next, you'll tell me he can't keep up with Lenzy. Balis needs to go...

ND has some special weapons at RB and TE in the pass game, but it sounds like from reports our LBs should not be covering players man to man still at all costs
