Practice Review
Posted: Fri Aug 19, 2022 6:50 am
Here’s a recap for the practice I attended that I shared with the parents of the players.
My general observation is the practices are very organized, precise and to the schedule. I can tell the kids have really come together over the summer and during the first two weeks of camp. Practice started at 3:10 with kickers, special teams at 3:20 and everyone else at 3:30. It’s non-stop for 1-1/2 hours.
Everyone is competing for playing time and it’s fun to see the kids hype when a great play is made on both sides of the ball. There is excitement in the air and you can feel it. There is no nonsense going on…it’s all business.
Offense
Offense is quick, fast and no huddle and signaled in from the sidelines.
I can’t remember the last time I saw this much depth and talent at QB, RB, WR and our new position hybrid TE. Our offensive line is big, young and working hard.
QB
Our QB’s are battling and we have several strong candidates that can general the offense. A couple really stand out with their ability to be a duel threat…running and passing!
WR
We are 9-10 deep at the WR and Slot position and none of those kids or combinations will hurt you. A couple of freshman who don’t look like freshman will make defenses pay attention.
RB
Again…I haven’t seen this much depth in the backfield for years. Any of these kids can hurt you with their legs or catching passes out of the backfield. Love the competition going on here. We are young at this position with one exception.
Hybrid TE
Any one of these kids can catch the ball, block and be a threat in our offensive scheme. They all possess the skills to block and catch passes.
O Line
All of our O lineman have at least 2 years of eligibility or more so look for this to be a strong deep group for several years. There will be some freshman that will make an impact throughout the season. We have 4-O lineman commits for the 2023 class already.
Offensively we will be able to put some points up but more importantly I believe we will have a much needed running attack! Can’t wait to see these kids perform in 3 weeks in Martin, TN!
Stay tuned for Defense
