D$ breaks down second scrimmage

DMoney

Apr 4, 2023 2 min read

- The offense had a good day, with Tyler Van Dyke leading the first team offense down the field (with passes to Xavier Restrepo and Jacolby George) and finished it with a Terrell Waldon (walk-on) touchdown run. There is no question the offense looks better than this time last year in spring. Van Dyke also hit George for a TD on a post.

- Don Chaney continues to run hard with explosiveness. He is breaking tackles and is more north/south than he has been in the past.

- Jacurri Brown hit RayRay Joseph for a wide-open TD down the sideline but was inconsistent throwing. He did have a long run that probably would have been a 75-yard TD if not blown dead. Emory Williams is starting to string together some very good practices, albeit in a no-contact setting for QBs.

- The freshman TEs (Riley Williams and Jackson Carver) continue to flash. They have more receiving talent than Cam McCormick and are making more plays each week. Carver is a redshirt candidate but looks athletic and quicker laterally than I expected.

- Ahmad Moten is continuing to make plays and looks like a legitimate part of the rotation. He has been starting all spring (the second-team at DT has walk-ons due to injury) and brings a nice combination of size and disruptive ability.

- Bobby Washington continues to make tackles as the starting SAM. Francisco Mauigoa continues to impress. The spot next to him looks completely up for grabs, with Keontra Smith, Corey Flagg and Wesley Bissainthe all getting opportunities next to Mauigoa.

- Defensive back is the weakest position right now, particularly with James Williams out. Watch the Portal there.

I mean that’s just how it goes with fans but I get what you saying. I do think he has some ability and could end up surprising people but it’s too early for me

Its too early for everyone the only takeaways from spring are getting reps and staying healthy. The battle to be right first is annoying. Emory may be the next Brady but after 10 practices it's more accurate he's just a 3rd stringer trying to learn playbook and keep up with pace of college.

The way you twist **** and attempt to incite is unbelievable.

"Protagonist(s)."
"Celebrate."
"Victor( y) lap."
"Proclaim Emory has arrived."
"Desire to be right."
"Slurping yourself."

You're projecting, kid. All me and the others you're arguing with said is that right now the staff feels like they have two young QB's on the roster with the ability to develop into legit starters in this offense, and that Emory looks good for where he is in his development (should be in HS still). No one has ever said he's a future AA or a first rounder or even a guaranteed starter. You can't seem to handle that because it doesn't give you a platform to **** on people.

The way you move the goal posts in an effort to paint people as being extreme and yourself as moderate is really disingenuous. And weak af.

Yes, I should be much more sensible in my approach. Thanks for the notes.

To be fair it was said the wrs wasn’t good too

Which is my point more than one thing can be true. Emory can look good, but it also Van be because he's going against 3rd string and he isn't facing a pass rush while wearing a red non contact jersey. I think Francis and Bobby getting first team reps actually shows how the staff feels about their development.

Except no one has said he's the next Brady, or even a sure to be future starter, and in fact everyone has said pretty much the same thing in that all we should expect from him at this point is that he should just be "a 3rd stringer trying to learn playbook and keep up with pace of college" because he should still be in HS. Oh, and that the coaches like what they see so far (OMG!!!).

Yet you're here twisting people's words still. Weird, bro.

FWIW, on last night show Blu said Wes has a long way to go, he's not a starting quality linebacker at this point.

Overall, he was down on the lb play.

Thats kinda disheartening.. He showed some flash last year, was hoping he would be ready to build on that and take the lead.. Him and the transfer LB would be a good duo.. Hope he develops and takes advantage of opportunity..

I think the position will be fine but this years offense will be important for winning games and recruiting

Gotta stay healthy

Except he doesn’t really have that much time. With the dumpster fire that was our season last season and qb recruiting failures, he’s a hit on TVD away from being the starting qb. He has to make major strides this summer because of how thin our qb room is.

Agree for sure. We can't have nice things for more than a year here lol

Still believe in Jacurri's potential for 2024+, but for this season we gotta keep TVD upright

Emory is going to take that job.

What you got against the kid? Is it just because he wasn’t highly ranked?

You will always lose your hard-earned money if you bet on any member of the Mope Squad to find something positive or hopeful to say.

Bobby's competition is Flagg. Emory's is TVD.

One was guaranteed the starter vs the other refusing to lose his spot…

I like where your head is…

Last spring all we heard about was the corners looking impressive locking up WRs. Turned out to be because our WRs were terrible and couldn't separate or catch.

I think you'll see those same guys separate this year. Gattis apparently didn't believe in separation.

The Bobby hype is exciting. And also exactly what brings the Board to fits in Sept when Bobby doesn’t start ….

Why would the board get mad when Malik Bryant shows up this summer and wins the spot after a hard-fought battle w/ Bobby?

I'm hoping to see guys schemed open similar to when we had Lashlee I don't see a dynamic perimeter option on roster. Rambo made a lot of contested catches and I think Colbie can duplicate that success.
