June 15, 20178 yr Author comment_268505 Knucks will be just fine. We were busy last Saturday (thanks Dave...) so today is the first chance I'll have to listen to the pre-game show (along with the game itself) and I couldn't be more excited. Gonna be a good day, Tater...
June 15, 20178 yr comment_268507 Just wondering how Russ Hobson got his video last week, angle and quality where very good so it must have been off a feed? I think I'll keep his link up during the game in case video gets posted during the game.

I don't think the issue is so much getting a camera in there, it's getting in a whole production team with multiple cameras, sound guys, broadcasters, producers, etc.

If I was betting, I'd say he was on media row, up above, and either had a camera guy from Global with him, or he likely has some videography experience himself, and did the shooting...either way....it was quality.
June 15, 20178 yr comment_268526 One nice thing about 3 quarterbacks ... they'll all get some good time. I'd give Nichols the half + 1 series, Davis the third + 1 series, Fever the rest. That's plenty. I'd also hope they give Liggins, Williams, Thorpe and those guys a chance to run with the first team O to see how they fit.
June 15, 20178 yr Author comment_268542 By all accounts, Thorpe's been getting 1s time during TC, so I fully expect him to get reps there tonight. If he's as good as they believe he CAN be....he'll be a treat to watch.

If he's as good as they believe he CAN be....he'll be a treat to watch. Thorpe's been injured almost all of TC, if he's been getting 1st team reps that would have just been in the past couple days. He seems like a slotback to me so maybe give denmark or dressler some time off and give Thorpe a shot with Nichols. I don't think we need to see much from Dressler I would't mind almost just giving him the night off or just giving him a series or two. Edited June 15, 20178 yr by Gotmilt
June 15, 20178 yr comment_268550 51st season.....great to finally get to see and evaluate the horseflesh, tonight.

Run some routes, make some plays. It's as much about getting Nichols and his starters work tonight, at least for a half, than it is about evaluation of the recruits. They don't play for more than two weeks after tonight.

As much as maybe you don't need to see guys like Dressler, you need to give Nichols time with them.

I should clarify -- he was getting a ton of reps in both Rookie and Mini camps and was with the 1s on opening day of Main, then got hurt, and when he came back this week, he's been getting time with the 1s.....

I guess that means if he wants to play the majority of the game that O'Shea will let him.

June 15, 20178 yr comment_268580 The new guys are just horseflesh to me.....until they have proven themselves, under my watchful glass...

June 15, 20178 yr comment_268584 I have 2 tickets for tonight's game to give away. Sec 126. should be covered from rain. PM me if interested. I should be able to email them.

The linemen could just pin their ears back and charge knowing that if anyone slipped past them, they wouldn't get far. Hurl doesn't have to be an all-star but he has to be at least average for this to work, and he hasn't been so far. uh, wut? He was the definition of average lol. he wasn't sub par but he wasn't great. he was steady but not spectacular.

Remember - "it's better to receive than give" all great points. Id throw in the RBs. Roberson and flanders both seem like gooders. chances both are around for the regular season are pretty slim.
