Few Days ago I had a BBQ at my house with an assortment of friends hangin out and talking. While I was grillin the brauts I fired up a conversation with a guy who is one the Football team. Just the usual how are summer workouts what's it like to have Snyder back? He said they are working hard and the spirit of the team is high. He thinks we should be going to a bowl game this year (which I completely agree with).Then we started talking about some good stuff, nothing new to anyone just pretty cool to see a player get excited about his fellow teammates.
I asked him what the QB situation is like with so many guys competing for the starting spot this year. He said its a tricky situation because Snyder clearly wants to run an offense with a Dual Threat QB, but his best QB as of now is Coffman. He thinks that Coffman will start the first few games and then Gregory will take over the rest of the season. Gregory just needs time to learn the offense and get some chemistry with team. The part that makes this really weird is the fact that Coffman is voted captain his teammates. So he said anything could happen at the QB spot. Then we talked about Gregory and what he is like. I guess the guy is just an animal. Build like a Linebacker but can run pretty well. Overall he seemed pretty excited about Gregory and what he can do with the team once he learns the offense. He did mention that it apparent Gregory is older and more mature. The first thing that jumps out about him is his frame, he is flat out HUGE, second would be his maturity and how he acts. Both of those things I like!!
The other topic we touched on that I enjoyed talking to him with was Daniel Thomas. He pretty much echoed what everyone has been saying about this guy on the boards. He can run you over no matter who is trying to tackle him. His legs are like tree trunks but is still able to cut on a dime to make you miss. Again like everyone said he is working with the RB and doing an amazing job so far. Thomas could come in like Banks did last year and shock the BIG XII.
So nothing too exciting or really new, but I figured I would share what I heard. Honestly its just nice to talk to people face to face about the team. hearing an insiders take on what's going on, compared to the boards.
