#35 spring workout Ray Ray - Is this real?

[Angry Ibis]

Yall gonna learn to listen to Macho.

By all accounts he's a great kid.
I'd love to see him get an opportunity somewhere.

Missed eval?

Bruh this is not a full speed workout.. these are step drills to help technique for the route tree why you see all the disc and cones out there it's not to be done full speed its muscle memory. More reps the faster you'll play that's all.

Send him to SMU. Then the nfl like all the other misused players

If Toney doesn’t pass him up and he starts we are in big trouble

Third-down back.........................

Not at all.

Maybe 3rd & 15+ to get us another “receiver” on the field but even then there’s probably better options for that.

 

[Coach Macho]

Missed eval?

Probably a little bit...
But it was the beginning of Mario's tenure, Joseph was one of the best local kids at the time, we weren't in the best place talent-wise... so they feel like he had to be a take.

Misused?

 

[CANESCANES]

hes always been one of the hardest workers and grinders, I was just shocked to see the slowness and lack of effort in the works out drillers and even during the spring practices so far.

Looks like a G5 level player in those clips

 

[MedleyCane]

Jesus ******* Christ.

All that time that you wasted arguing about how it was the #35 jersey that was slowing him down...

Similarly, I've been told I look sluggish and unathletic when I rock my Dad jeans with rope belt and matching Costco polo shirt.

 

[Trav]

He doesn’t look that explosive or fast from looking at this short clip

He wouldn't. These are standard agility/ball location drills.

Lol it’s easy when you leave off the nfl prospects! Would be nice to have Elijah Roberts and Brashard last year. Brashard would probably have filled the 21s role as RB.

For Ray Ray, I don’t know how good or bad Ray Ray is as a rb, I do trust my eyes with him as a returner and slot. He’s bad there.

 

[RealRussellPumps]

Weren’t you the one saying #35 was a beast and should have been playing over Restrepo?

You said MISUSED and insinuated there were all these examples

Just don’t be a ******* drama queen next time and I won’t say anything

 

[MikeyCanez]

I'm sorry. As everybody knows high I am on Toney and I know he should start over #35

Just seeing this today and honestly am shocked and awful he looks. Is this a prank or what am I missing here?

Well, for starters, you watched an 8-second edited video clip with zero context of what he is working on and decided to draw a bunch of conclusions from that...

lol mannn your initial post was a little too strong and I think thats why you get some pushback. No one knows how Rayray will do at RB. Maybe he flops, maybe he doesnt want to try, maybe he becomes a poor man's Duke Johnson. I wont **** on the kid though, he works hard and I remember him being talked about like TOney being on the juggs machine constantly after practice. He creates no issues. If no one else can catch a punt consistently, I am fine with him as PR (that would be more of a coaching failure to have no one else in that room more electric and consistent)

But lets not act like the 2 NFL Prospects you named would have made a huge difference here.

Roberts was a 2020 COVID recruit I believe. mid 3*, no huge offers, signed to play with Manny, Banda, Stroud, Blake Baker types. He was always a slow bake recruit that was not going to make an impact until his second or third year and after his second year he dipped. I dont blame him. He went through a lot of coaching changes, different philosophies and different styles. By all accounts he came from a good family and decided to hit reset. He had 9 sacks 2 years ago against G5 and 7.5 sacks this year. Last year who would he have played over at DE? Maybe we dont go get Baron but he is likely splitting reps with Bain, Messidor, Baron, and Alston.

BSmiff did have 300 more yards than Martinez carrying the ball, but he also had 70 (!) more carries. He did have 120 yards more receiving but had more than double the amount of catches. I dont know if the rumors are true that he refused to switch to full time RB here and had to at SMU once he had no other option so Smith would have done the same amount of work Lyle did. Perhaps he should have been the #2 behind Martinez instead of Fletch but I doubt either make a real difference for us last year.

I listened to an interview of this dude on this platform where he said “I’m just a fan who gets to play on the team.” How cool is that. Nothing but positive vibes his way.

 

[SPFRcane]

How do you watch that video and come to that conclusion?

I've been critical of Ray Ray myself, but he's clearly not going full speed on each play. To watch that clip and make your conclusions is weird.

Offseason is in full swing apparently. We're just hating on folks for the sake of it.

 

[jed2410]

Feel like he gets a ton of hate that should be directed purely at Luke...but that's just me
