To be honest yesterday was the cleanest, sharpest practice of the Fall. Hopefully a sign of focus/readiness. Moss looks great. I think he’s faster this year than he’s ever been.
I think the biggest reason for my optimism on the O-Line is the size of Fotheringham and Thedford (6’6/260) in the run game. They help clean up any deficiency that might arise elsewhere. Collectively they are doing a good job as a cohesive unit. Really like the developing depth at the position as well. Each week we get through healthy is another chance for the young guys to let the talent develop a little more and be ready. Tonga is stout in the middle for them but their depth falls off behind him so I expect to hit the edges early and pound it in the middle to finish them off. The young guys are phenomenal…Really added some talent in this last recruiting cycle and if all goes according to plan that will repeat itself after this year. We should be very balanced Thursday…run/pass out of every formation we have. Have to start clean and we should be fine.
Nobody ran the inbound play like “Rick the Pick.” I’m afraid we’ll never see the likes of that ever again! Privilege to watch that guy in action!
