I listened to most of the presser. Can we take the discussion about Chris Nelson to mean that the reports of his leaving the program are highly overstated?
Good news on Nelson..lol..I mean, that he is mentioned at all in camp. On Brewer...I keep thinking this guys about to breakout and he keeps on missing time. Waiting for the TE curse to end...
OL Patrick Hudson, RB Kirk Johnson, and RB Kyle Porter have a chance to be back by the end of spring. Porter rolled his ankle around spring break.
I wonder due to Hager’s development is why that other DT (Roach) is rumored to move to OLB (basically switching positions compared to last year).
I feel like that team would have beat a lot of people... I remember a few times where I saw him get isolated on guy in the flat and it didn't go well. He doesn't look like he has good coverage speed at all, so I'm not sure how that's going to work.
Only strange point.... I have never heard anyone say that red shirting is a bad practice especially for offensive and defensive linemen. At least it seems that most people on this board think one of the biggest problems with the offensive line is the very rare redshirt senior for this program.
Did anyone read the article on our incorporation of the lightning package last year? My positive takeaway from it was that Overshawn is a natural fit for the dime B-backer. A defensive back long and big enough to disrupt passing and impact against the run. He is very big for a safety so this fits.
I actually had Ron Baxter on a mens intramural softball team. One of our players was the sports writer for the Daily Texan and got him to play. Dude could legitimately knock the crap out of the ball. This was why we got knocked out in playoffs -- our games all just became big swinging homerun contests.

Kind of a side tangent, but I thought there was more on Roach in here - must have seen it somewhere else. Prodigal posted a concern earlier on him and, if I can locate the other piece, it explained some possible plans for Malcolm. I believe he is a good player who has flashed, the coaches like, and he will find a place. Anyway, this article offers good insight. It will be interesting to see how often they utilize this package and how offenses counter.

I suspect Hager is going really BREAK some people and tear up a bunch of **** this season. I hope much of it is against the land thieves!!!
