Spring PractiSe #5 - Thursday March 20

Some observations from Canesport:

-Justin Scott continues to really look the part of an athletic DT and we think he is well positioned to win a starting job. Also keep an eye on DT Donta Simpson, who despite being a true freshman continues to work his way up the depth chart (although he was too slow off the ball on one inside run drill rep today, as when he looked up the back was already past him). Still, he’s been getting some one reps and had some solid inside run reps and is learning on the go. DE Booker Pickett is also working in with the twos at times and is pushing for an early role.

-At LB we continue to be high on Chase Smith, as he’s looking the part and is pushing for a starting job. The injuries that hampered him earlier in his career appear to have finally gone by the wayside.

-On offense the QB play continues to be inconsistent with Carson Beck out. None of the quarterbacks appears to really be separating themselves as a No. 2 option to Beck.

-S Zechariah Poyser also continues to look really good and seems to be locking down one starting spot with his play.
Concerning since we are throwing in shorts with no pressure

Just my observation, but I have not seen a clip so far this spring of Ray Ray where I thought he was really working his hardest. He always looks to be going half ***, and his body language has a tone of "I've been here longer, and this is my starting job".
When I see this, it is not surprising to me that he has struggled to see the field despite the fact that so many connected to the HS scene down there keep questioning his lack of playing time. If this is how he has been the last few years, I am actually surprised that he is still on the team. The younger WRs all look hungrier and more enthusiastic in the drills and what they are doing.
If I am wrong and he has been going 100%, then he is just not at an elite level, and it won't take long to see him passed by and pouting on the sideline.
