Official Fall Camp PractiSe #7: Wednesday August 9

Dawson working with receivers on their comeback routes, where to run with their depth and turning to comeback to the ball

Jaleel Skinner working as the first tight end for the second straight day.

Ray Ray is getting some reps on the outside. Restrepo inside of him.
Ray ray playing in baby tank spot of the offense. Nasty
 
My thoughts exactly. Wonder how close he is to actually competing in a game situation. Would be nice to have him back for AM but if not, def would love him back by UNC
David Lake said on a recent podcast said that he believes the issue is somewhat mental... Apparently he doesn't have much cartilage left in his knee and it is pretty much bone on bone. The discomfort is leading to him taking it slow out of fear that he is going to reinjure himself (understandable given his history). But the team's take is that is likely how it is going to be and he is going to have to get used to that feeling if he wants to play. They are willing to play him if he gets over that hurdle, but they aren't waiting on him either.

He had some flashes what seems like 10 years ago. Hopefully he can be more consistent this year & give us some quality snaps. Would go a long long way. I aint counting anyway out with JT there now. If anyone can make a lightbulb go on I believe it can be him.
Yeah he had a stretch where he strung a few nice games together, we all got on the hype train, then I think it was an elbow or something derailed his last few games, expected him to bounce back the following year and never did. The fact he did not portal out tells me the coaches see something. **** if he can give us 10-15 quality snaps a game that would be good enough for him. DTs of LT, Deen, Lich, JHH, Moten, Campbell and Horton aint bad, then you have the unknown Gore, and some other guys (Messidor, Bain, and Collins) that can/ seems like they will slide inside on passing downs.

Really underrated recruit imo

He’s big, fast, and violent

It was limited film but even though he was really aggressive, he wasn’t reckless. He had good pursuit and patience and then would strike when the opening was there

Was hoping to at least see him on special teams this year I think the staff found one here

**** that's wild. I imagine even if he gets over that hurdle and plays well it can't be good for his longevity of his future football career post UM...I know I had heard rumors that the surgery wasn't done very well. Not sure if true

Not a surgeon but you only have so much cartilage lol. If he's chewed that up with injuries than it may not have been their fault?
 
I believe JHH when I see it. It was like Jordan Miller. Always hearing it was going to
Click and it never hit the mark we said. I hope it
does but I’m done with the hype
To be fair JHH had a lot more hype coming in than Jordan Miller. And Miller was actually serviceable. He was one of the very few who gave a ****.
 
Yeah I just heard some of those rumors that it was a poorly done surgery causing all these setbacks. I have 0 inside info or knowledge or it. Either way it's unfortunate for him
Not trying to open this can of worms too much but just look at the “recovery” process for some of our other guys that have gotten hurt

Something ain’t right

If I was on the team I would say thanks but no thanks to whoever performs those surgeries and head to Andrews sports medicine (does bama’s surgeries and a lot of other athletes/wrestlers) in Birmingham.

You using your lifewallet money for that?

I truly hope Mario and Co. changed their approach when it comes to injury prevention. Last year Hearing that Citizen/Chaney got hurt in the preseason was heartbreaking. Then proceeded to lose X and almost every OL at some point.

So far so good (knock on wood) but damnit was that frustrating last year
