Fall camp notes
- Thread starter HBK4life
- Start date
People really underestimate that. The DT's being able to cause disruption on the line, even if they don't get the sack themselves, opens up lanes and opportunities for the DE's and OLB's to get to the QB.
Players like this give me hope. Late addition IIRC. Available because of the fallout of Deboer leaving. Compared to a lot of questionable late additions by previous staffs. Hard to get kids like this to leave the west coast.
We need a two deep, all these guys and still don’t have a good two deep 🤔
Our LB room is loaded. Talent and depth.
Welp -2.5 was too much. Poor kid but the body knows when it’s time
@HBK4life OMG, what a bitch move to change the name of the thread. ha ha ha ha
I just thought we could keep all the preseason talk here instead of starting other threads. 😉
Ya, what are you thinking. HaI just thought we could keep all the preseason talk here instead of starting other threads. 😉
With the TP news my somewhat hopeful outlook is now just please make a bowl game.
The obvious answer is Florida in 2024. I don’t know that any will actually be shutout, but Florida has to be the odds on leader…

No argument from me there. Now that Turner appears to be the starter I'm officially less optimistic for the season. I have them now on the 6-6 or 7-5 for the year.

We’ve had tackles get destroyed on this board for their play only to see them land on NFL rosters for multiple years. It’s a tough spot. Hopefully Brix etal are the real deal. Often your LT is trying to block the best defensive player on the field.
I can think of an underwhelming tackle or two or three who played in the NFL, but only after moving to the interior. Probably none of those guys played all that well at tackle for us. Nick Gates, perhaps, would be the exception. If Corcoran stays healthy, he'll have a chance to hook on with an NFL team like a Jeremiah Sirles or a Zach Sterup.
But Turner was also the lowest rated pass blocking left tackle (PFF) two years ago if I recall correctly. Now he could show improvement like Bryce Benhart did. But Benhart is still pretty stiff in pass pro. Couple that with Corcoran's track record and it makes me concerned. Of course, there's the "don't be a dumb ass" theory to pass protection where tackles are not left on an island one on one against superior athletes. Scott Frost didn't seem to get that concept. Maybe Satt, Thomas and Co. will help those two out.
Patrick? Trying to think of the looked like Tarzan, played like Jane guy who was with the Dolphins for several years. More recently the guy from South Dakota that the Cowboy’s drafted. Tackle is a damned tough spot to play. Moving inside is common because the number of college guys who can play OT in the NFL is maybe a couple per year.
There is only one LT who has recorded multiple PFF scores of 0.0 in the entire history of them grading players:
Turner Corcoran
I expected Corcoran to be the starter. I expected Teddy would not last. Sad but true.
Sometimes coaches think they can coach-up a player.
I have been guilty of it before, keeping the same kid in the game, over and over, starting him, thinking that the results would be different.
Also, sometimes I started them just because their Mom was hot and single. But hey, no one is perfect.
