Jesus Christ then let the kid play linebacker. How is it that we keep running kids off from maybe the thinnest position on the team?GrundleStiltzkin said:

Have you seen him play? He looks like he got cement in his shoes when he plays in space.ToddTurnerLIVES said:

Pressing. He was at fullback for how long? He was there, a position we don't even use, and you think he should be retained to play lb? I haven't seen that level of logic since I lingered on dawgman after Pete was hired and the worst doogs tried to prop Sark up by pressing to find Petersen's flaws. purpledawgfan level FS.ToddTurnerLIVES said:

Ektard says he was speaking with a player’s parent on the sideline. Not sure how much they are in the know, but....
He said the coaches are really starting to think about moving Bryant to Safety and then letting Dom and Kyler fight out the starting Corner spot based on how good they have looked.
CB: Taylor
CB: Hampton/Gordon
Nickel: Molden
Safety: McKinney
Safety: Bryant
Later in practice they rolled out that lineup like the parent thought. -
Ugh, still not the right choice IMO but moving in a better direction. Bryant has good instincts as well. Is he big enough to tackle running backs as the last line of defense?NEsnake12 said: -
Im actually a little worried about the secondary. Lot of midgets and stick figures

Bynum, Ty, Spiker, and Osborne.
Fuck the opera singer and that midget little fuck fuller. -

Yeah, Bryant was damn good in run support coming from the nickel. Not Budda level but still strongRoadDawg55 said:

He's an ankle biter who has made most of his tackles close to the line of scrimmage when guys don't have a full head of steam and/or don't have time to react after catching the ball in the flat. Being an ankle biter nickel and a real tackling safety like Taylor Rapp who could consistently drop running backs one-on-one when running backs had time to build up some speed further down the field and could see him coming is completely different. I thought this was common sense. I guess not.RoadDawg55 said:

Budda was an ankle tackler at the line of scrimmage because he was fast and could identify quickly. That's the best time to get people, before they start moving.StrongArmCobra said:

Sure is, but what about the times an elite RB breaks through the front seven and it's that RB versus Myles Bryant one-on-one to decide whether the RB scores a TD or not. Rapp made TD saving tackles look easy and routine. We have no idea if Bryant can do the same being as small as he is.Doogles said:

Why ppl keep shatting on Bryant. He was very solid last year.
Fuck all ya that keep shatting on fuller. Not his fault other wr suck around him -

Imagine trying to paint someone's ability to tackle near the line of scrimmage as a liabilityStrongArmCobra said:

From Caple:
After redshirting in 2017, Bynum had offseason surgery to repair the injured thumb on his right hand, and entered his redshirt freshman season “a little timid … kind of just laying low, staying behind.” He appeared in 10 games but did not record a statistic.
“I was just thinking too much about trying to catch the ball, overcompensating, because I had surgery on my thumb,” Bynum said. “Now, I feel like I’ve got my hand strength back, so now I’m catching the ball like (it’s) second nature and not thinking too much.”
Bynum said new receivers coach Junior Adams emphasizes exactly that: Just go play.
“Basically, he’s told us to have fun,” Bynum said. “Don’t go out there trying to think too much. Go out there and, like, talk stuff against the defense. Just have fun. We’re not out there just lackadaisical. It’s actually a fun energy.
“He’s telling us to make plays and not just be like mannequins. He wants us to have energy and have something to us, a little edge about us.”
Other notes:
- Haener threw a pick six to Taylor, and near interceptions to Wellington and Cam Williams.
- Haener also threw the only TD of the day to Ozzy! who beat Cook on a 48 yard TD.
- Eason went 4-8 with the 1 offense against the 1 defense, drew 2 offsides, and the highlight was a bullet to Otton with Gordon draped on him.
- Bynum listed Spiker as the young receiver who will impress everyone this year.
- 1st team defense was CB Taylor, CB Gordon, NB Molden, S McKinney, S Bryant, ILB Wellington, ILB Manu, OLB Tryon, OLB Bowman, and then a constant rotation of 2 down linemen featuring pairings of Levi and Clark, Scrempos and Tuli, Bronson and Taki.
- Tafisi and Sirmon are always a pair for the 2nd team ILB, and Ulofoshio took reps outside again.
- 1st team OL was Trey, Watty, Norgaard, Jax, and Hilbers. Harris not hurt, just getting others work since no one has experience.
- 2nd team OL was Mele, Ale, Luciano, Roberts, Bain.
- In addition to Fuller/Jones/Pounds, Players held out were: Bandes, Rice, ZTF, Irvin, Ah You, and Paama.
- Henry made both FG attempts with extra leg.
-
Word is Levi was damn near unblockable today and caused a lot of rushed throws that were batted away or nearly picked.
Also Jax and Hilbers opened huge holes and didn’t let pressure through. -
Oh, and @HillsboroDuck , allay your fears about Cam Williams. I remember you weren’t too sure about him previously until I told you about some of Lake’s comments about he sees him as a Taylor Rapp role and expects him to come in and play early.
Reports are he has been flashing every practice and doesn’t look like a lost frosh. Rest easy my friend! -
