Spring Practice Thread 2012

Look at 3:08 (during the booker interview)

In the background you can see Amir taking some reps with the back up QB.

I know its not much, but I love the fact that Amir is trying to take mental reps and seems to be trying to do whatever he can to get better. Amir is gonna be special.

Oh, and our TEs have to be one of the deepest in the country. It's unreal.

Agreed about Niklas and Koyack and I would like to add Welch. Wow!

Too back Scott Booker exhausted all of his elgibility, his throwing looked like the best ND has seen lately! (Kidding, but not by much.)

I really like what I see of Booker, and did you notice, Harry came over to help with the blocking instruction?

Did you see how Eifert is being utilized? He is a runningslotwrtight end.

Good God Troy is a monster.

RuntheBall · Mar 31, 2012

George Atkinson sure seemed to get a lot of reps at RB today. Wonder if that was just random that he had every running play they showed or not.
Its looking to me that Troy will be TE # 2 this year. And Koyack has a shot to be the WR/ TE that Eifert is next season (or maybe Heuerman)

Irish Fam · Mar 31, 2012

John Goodman caught a few passes in that little clip of the scrimmage.I guess BK wasn't joking about him being the go to WR so far this spring.

He did however have a fumble in a run after the catch.

STLDomer · Mar 31, 2012

First time seeing Manti stick someone in months, feels good

irishff1014 · Mar 31, 2012

Troy is going to be special. This young man has worked his *** off to get where he is.

George is getting reps at punt returner. Its safe to say, I support this decision.

Only Special Teams their doing right now is individual, so I think anyone can try after practice

PR should be GAIII or Neal while KR should be both

clashmore_mike · Mar 31, 2012

Cierre, Theo, and GAIII all on the field at the same time with Eifert and Niklas/Davaris/Neal/etc? Good night sweetheart.

The QB is still the wildcard though.

I like the addition of Scott Booker. Love the guys passion at practice. He has a bright future here at ND.

ndwestcoastfan1 · Mar 31, 2012

I think our biggest threat as a team is the qb issue we must resolve this issue before we end up having a penn state problem

If we don't find a competent QB, then one of our coaches is going to be charged with sexual misconduct?

Yup, was just going to say the same thing. He looks really smooth for only being there for a week. Niklas might have a higher upside than Koyack, which is really saying something. What a freak.

With his size, split Koyak out wide in a 5 wide set... Me like

Yea im pretty sure that was goodman

Bogtrotter07 · Mar 31, 2012

It was Goodman (81) but you couldn't tell if the ground caused the fumble. I think it did and the coaches were making a point. Act don't wait for a call.

Irish Fam · Mar 31, 2012

Rabasa caught him from behind and stripped him.

Goodman was making a move and holding the ball outside of his body... I'm sure he will get grilled in the film room if he already hasn't

Blue Gold game is the 21st.

Does anyone know if it will be televised again? I'm guessing Versus, 1pmish.

clashmore_mike · Mar 31, 2012

Yeah NBC sports will air it, not sure of the time, but its posted on und.com

BobD · Mar 31, 2012

Suggestion for the mods. It would be cool if we could get a count down to the spring game posted on the front page with the date, time and TV info.????

DomerInHappyValley · Mar 31, 2012

Niklas was looking pretty good.
I'm also liking the hiring of Elliot and Booker.
I think I'm more excited for this year than I was last year.
Which worries me since I was extremely optimistic about last year.

Am I way wrong when I ask this question: Didn't Weis call his wildcat formation the Leprechaun formation?
