Blaylock has flashes of very good play. He's also got alot of PT. If Woody can get him on the field while minimizing his weakness, its excellent coaching IMO.mtnjax wrote:Maybe moving Blalock to OLB will be a good move. He might be more suited to that position
I will be at the Charlotte practice.mtnjax wrote:From what i've read, there seems to be some injuries at LB so that might be why we've not heard much about McGowan, Dada, or Frazier.GlassOnion wrote:As spring practice continues, a few things that I've noticed from the reports:
Havent heard anything from Davante Harris.
Denzel Ward seems to be a consistant contributor. Noticeable names that havent heard from at LB, are McGowan, Dada, Frazier.
Satterfield seems very high on TEs.
Middleton and Barnes look huge, even when covering Price.
Deuce is back to exactly where he should be, (last year I was excited to see him at OLB, but this year, Im relieved he'll be back to rushing the QB,) we can call that experiment an oops.
Fergerson seems to be in the lead at RB, a surprise.
It looks like Greg Hall is going to be a good one.
From the Rivals article that was put up about our D-line, it looks like Harris has been buried on that depth chart.
Covington seems to be as advertised. Rivals posted a photo gallery and there was a picture of Covington covering Peacock, so it looks like he might getting the look at CB. Him and Blackmon at CB could be a dangerous combo (in a good way).
Interesting to hear that Ferguson is performing the way he is. Not to knock him, but it is kind of disappointing that he beating out Holloway, who was our legit FBS pickup last year and from what the coaches were saying could have been the lead back had he not been redshirted
Is anyone going to the spring practice in Charlotte? I plan on making my way down there and to the spring game as well. Can't wait to see the new defense in action!

FerGERson, not FerGUson.
Could be that he (RH) asked to move and the coaches are giving him this spring to convince them he should be there. If not he could easily move back to OL in fall camp.GlassOnion wrote: On another note,
Last year, I counted 23 OL on the roster. We now have 12. And Ron Henderson is now listed as a DL. This is the kid, who almost drew an LSU offer late. Its curious that how thin we are at OL, they'd move this kid to DL, when we're as deep as we've ever been there.
Could be. Just seems odd with the DL being stacked 3 deep already.97APP wrote: Could be that he (RH) asked to move and the coaches are giving him this spring to convince them he should be there. If not he could easily move back to OL in fall camp.
Heard that as well, could be a huge unexpected boost. Karl played great in place of Grier last season.mtnjax wrote:Just heard DJ say on the baseball broadcast that Karl Anderson will be coming back to team after the spring.
That is great news. It gives us some depth and a good player in the one weak area of our D. It also gives us some more flexibility this fall in deciding if and who we can redshirt. Might not have to throw most of our new guys to the wolves. We'll let them try and play their way in but I'll take all the experenced LB's we can get.asumike83 wrote:Heard that as well, could be a huge unexpected boost.
