Weiszer is on the mother.
Aside from what’s noted there, the big news is that Ramsey is listed at first-team by his lonesome. Keith Marshall is third-team at tailback. McKenzie has grabbed one of the first-team receiving slots.
Thoughts?

I think this is the best move. Kid needs to play this year to keep from getting rusty. Plus, he can take his time and take visits while deciding his next school. He’ll have three years to play three. I hope he stays in that area and plays in the Big 12 .

I know it’s all hind-sight now but…some random thoughts.
I felt good about Kublanow and hoped he would push for the position.
I honestly thought Reggie Davis would come out on top at one of the receiver positions…but understand why Isaiah got the knod.
Chris Mayes has had plenty of opportunity to take command of the Nose so I’m not surprised Atkins moved up.
I’m excited about seeing some new talent grow at DE…Brown, Barnett, Dawson and the Ledbetters (not the ones Jerry Clower talks about)
I mention in a previous post my visions of Floyd at ILB with Zo and Jenkins at OLB and possibly Smith at the Hybrid position. So I’m pumped to see some of that combination considered. Part of my vision was Natrez stepping up and taking over one of the ILB positions….we’ll see.
I noticed the walk-on Aaron Davis has maintained his start. I thought Wilkerson would have move above him by now.
I felt Parrish would command a start especially after last years ST’s play.
I thought Tramel Terry was going to be a safety.
Neither Shattle nor Kennar are developing as I expected.
I can’t wait to see our D in action and see how JP moves them around as they develop.

You can forget about Kennar D. He hasn’t even sniffed time on special teams. I hate to down a kid but this has been a wasted scholly for three years. Remember, this is the guy that Grantham passed on Steven Nelson for. Nelson was a GA kid who ended up at OR St. Made all-PAC 12 and was a third round pick, I believe. All that said, I’ll never be for running a kid off as long as he has a good attitude, practices hard, and is making academic progress. Hopefully Kennar leaves with a degree.

270lb Defensive ENDS are fine, Defensive tackles not as much. I like to think he knows what he’s doing too, but his D Line got run over fairly regularly last season. In 2012, we had beef but no depth.

Last season’s poor run defense was as much, if not more, about failing to maintain gap integrity on the line and losing contain on the outside than it was about sheer mass. Better coaching and another year in Pruitt’s system should help with that. I hope so, anyway.
LikeLike
I definitely look for improvement too, at least I really hope to see it. Still, there’s not much substitute for size in a 3-4 for clogging up the run lanes. Some of the losing contain on the outside was due to opponents O line physically dominating our DL and taking them out of the play by forcing them inside.
We gave up 400 yards rushing three times last season. If we aren’t better at stopping the run this season, we will be looking at another disappointing year.
LikeLike
Agree, I am optimistic that CJP can use some razzle-dazzle stunts with the mobile attack force he has available and get some penetration to disrupt plays a few times a game. What I fear is the constant pounding of a power run team grinding out 1st downs when we need the ball back, or when they in short play yardage near the goal lines or 1st down marker. It is my biggest concern for this team, and it is what cost us all three of those losses last year. Fingers crossed that he will find the right combos but if I go on last year’s performance, it is exactly what I expect Bama and GT to attack, and Arky if we meet them in Atlanta. Hope I am wrong but where’s the beef? Man I hope those young DL guys are what everyone says they are and those new ILBs can step up and shed a block in tie to give up less than 4+ yards on dive plays.
LikeLike
Agree, Senator. That said, I think that whole “diet” thing in the run-up to last season was a bad idea. Some guys probably needed to shed a few pounds but making the entire D lighter?

If I remember some of the comments made by CMR/CJP…they said some players had to lighten up and some had to bulk up. They also mentioned that a few players had to burn fat and then build back quality mass. I may be wrong but I don’t think they want ‘light’ players but ‘in-shape’ players regardless of the weight. 300lbs is OK IF it is a lean 300lbs. I think it takes longer to build that quality mass than if they were just trying to put on weight.

Again, QB & CENTER are still my biggest concerns. Not the Defense.
