From a depth perspective, until we see who shines with the lights on, Bernard is a very important piece. Carlson doesn’t fully know the scheme like Francis yet so each week FB stays on the field is another chance for Trennan, Sione, Andrew, etc. to learn from film, game action, etc.

Biggest difference is that crowd will get after Francis v…[Read more]

That game was too close for comfort, and I left the stadium feeling icky about it. Last year I thought I was going to vomit for 3/4 of the game. Losing to tds would just be too gross to deal with.

Wow. That is next level man cave.

That particular comment was not my favorite. The comment from Tom Hackett about Utah’s world was more my taste in terms of rivalry smack.

Free is still not compelling enough for me to make a trip to Provostan on a work night.

Maybe they will fall in the rankings anyway though. That was pretty hard to watch.

Wow. That game was a total sh#t show. I hope we don’t witness something like that on Thursday.

We don’t lose to ‘that team’.

I approve of this message.

I can always be counted upon for meaningful contributions to the board.

Missionary.

Most NFL quality running backs are fully capable and comfortable with the ball in either hand. QB or WR not so much. Remember we’re dealing with a runner here. You can protect an injury pretty significantly on a hand. 3 weeks and 2 days from injury to first game. Maybe he’s not able to catch it normally but he should be able to RUN pretty eff…[Read more]

Zach is practicing with no contact today. Covey is practicing regularly. The cast is for an injury but 3 weeks after you’ll have plenty of options ranging from a soft cast to tape and foam protection, etc. Figuring out the risk vs. necessity is something that will be done BUT as of this moment I expect them both to play. Being in a cast for 3…[Read more]

Yeah…pretty spot on with the responses above. I’ll add my two cents on Rising. He’s really talented and fits in well with the group. I’ll say this: I love Shelley. He shows up and competes his butt off, prepares every day and is a good player but if Huntley plays the whole year without a significant injury I think Rising will be your start…[Read more]

Pleasant surprise that emerged in the Spring. With Covey and Thompson limited and on pitch counts he has gotten a ton of reps in the slot. Kid can flat out play. 6’4” kid out of San Diego.

Reps will be tough to come by when and if everyone is healthy but no significant drop off in the first 8. By far the deepest group we’ve ever had. No tr…[Read more]

Think Zach Banner #73 from USC a few years back. Now with the Steelers as a LT. I’m sure most of you remember the MONSTER at the end of their line protecting Darnold. He has that type of size.

Bam is actually probably more athletic than Zach BUT not near as polished or experienced at this point. But he is massive and can move.

He’s goi…[Read more]

Few more updates…
Kickers have been very good in camp through yesterday. Not good today however.
Kuithe at TE is an absolute stud and will be used as much as Cole (who is a huge target). Kuithe has juice and can get deep…is a very difficult cover. Cole is more underneath/possession. They both catch EVERYTHING! Ludwig knows how to use them in…[Read more]

Immobilized to help heal last night. 3 full weeks plus a couple days to heal. Chances are still good he’s ready to go on the 29th.

Player and Bam is still acclimating. Not fully participating yet.
