poor DRob. horrible luck.
The updates are nice, but speaking from personally attending a FAD a time or two i will easily argue that you gleen even less from them than you can from a Spring Game ( which isn't much at all).
Personally i don't think Snyder cares much for them outside of the interaction with the fans because he views them as disruptive to Fall Practices. Yeah it's only an hour of practice but they are essentially losing about half day. So i don't even take who is going with the #1's or #2's with even the finest grain of salt. What Snyder chooses to show the media/fans 2 weeks before they hit the field really isn't much and probably slight of hand in some ways. ( again even moreso than the Spring Game
My two biggest concerns Oline and RB still aren't anymore settled one way or the other. Really no clue how thats going in that dept. 2 weeks may seem like a small window to resolve it, but we've seen question marks get settled in a far more expedited way than we usually expect time and time again with Snyder. He's the king of managing rosters and plugging holes sufficiently. I think there will be some ugly moments with Oline in weeks 1/2 but the progress will be steady and hopefully solid enough to give us a shot against Auburn.
Does the 50 in your blogname represent your current age or the year you graduated high school?
MakeitRains comment about the player being concerned about their draft because of different offense has my curiosity piqued but also i'm a little confused and annoyed:
Offenses playbooks will have impact the most on RBs,QBs,WRs,Oline,TE......in regards to draftability ..in my opinion. Now let's dissect this a little.
Who of our players that has a legitimate chance at the NFL would have reason for concern that the shift in offense would effect their draft stock.
I'm just going to throw out RB's because we don't have any NFL talent ( not really arguable) at this position. So i can't see how that's a major concern for any of them...unless they have very inflated egos and think they are NFL studs even though they've never started a game.
op
QB's....Waters certainly would have concern, but he came here under the guise of a run/pass option offense and he knew it coming in,,,if he's getting to throw more that should thrill him...so that excludes him
WR's....again...getting thrown to more should be very likeable for WRs....so this position is eliminated
TE's....again....more passes...more potential touches for you
So that leaves Oline,,,, and this is where i get annoyed and confused. The NFL drafts Olineman on intangibles and athleticism not necessarily on what type of offense you are running in college,,,so that shouldn't concern you. Regardless on whether or not you have played in a pass happy or run happy offense in college, if you have the right size, speed and athleticism...NFL scouts are going to like you quite a bit. So you are kind of an idiot if you think a shift in offensive philosophies is going to dramatically impact your draft stock....
More importantly you should probably take comfort in the fact that Snyder has pumped out a ton of NFL talent, he knows how to develop it, take solace in the fact you are in good hands.
But last thought,,,,if said mystery player and family are concerned more about themselves and self interests than the upcoming season .....THAT's more concerning to me than anything.
2 posts and already 19 ellipses. Intrigued to see if he can keep up this pace.
yeah i know. I even annoy myself with them. It's just a bad 'tick' i have when typing.
