Game day!! GBR!!

Looks a lot different from the practices we saw under Riley and then Frost. But then again, maybe Rhule and his staff are just better at pushing out these slick videos than the previous staffs were. Cannot wait for game day!
There is no factual nor scientific evidence to support this but I heartfully believe our increased hitting and live tackling in practice is worth two more wins this year.
Of course I’ve also said our easier schedule is worth two more wins, reducing our turnovers is worth two more wins, better offensive line play is worth two more wins and better game day management is worth two more wins. Either I’m really wrong or we are going 12-0.
Given the number of one score losses over the entirety of the Frost regime that could have been wins if not for a couple of bad luck plays/botched plays/stupid penalties, it’s not kooky to think a more sound style of play will equal more wins.Of course I’ve also said our easier schedule is worth two more wins, reducing our turnovers is worth two more wins, better offensive line play is worth two more wins and better game day management is worth two more wins.

The comment was they'd like to see him completing passes at 65% to be a highly effective QB.

Interesting to hear Butler was going to be a starter.
In fact you can paddle a sunken canoe. We did it at a scout camp. Works better though if you can dump the water out😉
"Blackshirts & single digits heavily featured in special teams"
this is a very good thing

"Not fair catching ANY kickoff returns, coach isn't a fan of that"
Excellent.
Either fair catch all of them or none of them. Hesitation and confusion create penalties, unfielded / dropped balls, and kick returners getting lit up.

What an honor for Alvano to become the kicker. Knew he had a shot in the playoff game last year. Hope he is nails for us like so many have been in the past
