4/6/19 Scrimmage Notes
I was at the first part of the scrimmage today, leaving when they broke out for drills after they scrimmaged for 30 minutes or so. A few random observations:
-Rodney Hall is back with the receivers, which is probably his best move.
-Childers and Thompson split time with the ones, with Childers going first.
-As has been reported the first O-line was Marques Cox, Austin Warner, Benn Olson, Brayden Patton and Isaac Hawn left to right. Take that with a grain of salt since presumed starters CJ Perez, Nate Veloz and Jordan Steckler sat out with green jerseys. The second O-line was Cole Webster, Zeke Geuths, Owen Rozumalski, Calvin Dassow and Nolan Potter left to right. The first line did just OK, the second line got dominated. I felt bad for QBs behind the second line because every play seemed like a jail break.
-Brinkman, Crawford and Lersch got most of the TE work with the ones.
-Wideouts were Tears, Richie, Robinson, Tucker and Leon Payne. Payne impressed me today.
-Starting D-line was Kennedy and Lorbeck at end, Heflin and Leroy at tackle. The second D-line was Quintin Wynne, Weston Kramer, Caleb Wright and Jawon Denton. I don't know if the plan is to play Wright at tackle or he's just pinch hitting because of short numbers there.
-Linebackers were AJD, Deveaux and Vinny Labus, with Kyle Pugh sitting out in a green jersey. Backups were Jordan Cole, Cortez Hogans and Joe Bonds, a nice looking group for 2020 and beyond.
-DBs were McKie and Haney at corner and Williams and Foster at safety with various combinations behind them.
-The defense had the upper hand while I was there and that might be an understatement. They really need to get those three missing O-linemen back for the first unit and, as I mentioned, the second unit was overmatched. D-linemen were in the backfield the whole time and Lorbeck had an especially good day. It was really hard to get much of a take on the offense from the part of the scrimmage I saw.
-Richardson hit a 51 yard field goal which was nice to see.
-All the QBs threw some nice balls in drills for what its worth.
