    I'd like to see Zack turn up the heat now that he is in his 3rd year, that's when they should be up to full speed. Mannning, how can he do as light as he is? Exum, how will he do as big as he is?

    How are the injured guys doing? Mainly B Taylor.

    This plus I'm interested to see how some of the freshman look. I want to know if Caleb will pick up the playbook enough to force himself into the rotation. How has Coleman improved since the spring? Donovan Riley is another I'm interested in because I think he will see the field this year. Lastly, who will emerge as our return men?

    How is the QB thing after day 1 in Hoo camp? I can't think of something I have been more interested in regarding you all, this will go one of 2 ways...very good or very bad, and it may look like both at times, and the final result won't be known for more than a year. Interesting to say the least

    all the reports ive read is all the qbs looked good.. rocco, watford and sims in that order..not a shock by that either..

    what are you guys expecting with practice today?

    My main things to watch

    1. OL-Same story every year, can we give Lo the time he needs?

    2. Which RB will prove to be the next go to guy for us?

    3. Who steps up in the wake of Coles injury?

    4. How healthy are out LBs?

    5. The Safeties, luckily our front seven will take a lot of heat off of them, but we need then to know their assignments week 1.

  • I would like to hear an accurate timeline on Coles injury.

    Also I would like to hear that Watford goes into practice and kills it and comes out the started. Kid deserves it I think

    Aaron McFarling reporting that Sims was very inconsistent. It's day one. Let's give it some time.

  • Reports today are that Sims blew aways Rocco and Watford all day long. Still only day 2. Also Richardson and Harold already a bit banged up.

    Best case scenario....one of them wins the job out right before the season, and the only one I can see doing that is Sims...which sucks for Rocco, I think most folks seem to like him.

    HNB

  • i think we'll see after this week two of them starting to get more reps than the others and after week 2, one will emerge.. i have a feeling it will be sims..

    love rocco and think the team chemistry would suffer going through a qb rotation. nobody wants to hear that.

    Some believed he would be a better DT than OG, nothing to worry about.

    THE ONLY THING I'M ADDICTED TO IS WINNING--CHARLIE SHEEN

  • Do y'all want Harold to play this year? He is very light, I'd think a redshirt year would benefit him greatly. He will be a beast, just don't think he can make the impact this year to justify him playing.

    We agree, and are dying to see a qb rotation for you guys for that very reason. Don't say nobody wants to hear that, we think it is lovely news.

    i'm told that i must not want to win if i don't want the most talented players we can get on the field and that is obviously sims, because he was once a 5* qb and looked great in high school. that is what is best for the team and our chances of winning.

    thought he weighed in at like 214? pretty sure if he's anywhere under 235 by the time the season starts they'll RS him.

    mike i have less of a problem with, but considering all of the bodies we have on the DL and how many guys don't fit one clear role i would like him to redshirt. we have a lot of guys listed at DT that aren't pure DT's and could be shifted to end. I don't think we are that desperate for help on the line. unless he just straight up outplays the people ahead of him.

    I was going strictly off of what your site said he weighed.i just think kids provide a lot more for a program as a 5th year, than a 18 y/o that is learning.

    Also, where is Wynn playing, I had him DT all the way, but he weighed in at 215, is he playing DE for y'all?
