I'm going to be there with my son and grandkids. A few years ago they did it here and it was a huge success with big crowd. Parking may be a little tight as the damn democrats decided to have their caucus at Central High same day same time fee cryin out loud.

I hope Allen doesn't get hurt. Nick Smith looks awful.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking the that

Smith kept hanging everyone out to dry but himself. Leading receivers right into horrible situations and dumping the ball off to his RB so he could take the 10 yard loss.

Too bad Chandler Garrett couldn't have graduated early and been here for spring ball to add a bit more competition to the QB spot. Doesn't sound promising if Allen gets hurt again, although Smith did improve last year, not much, but some. Seems like the kid has ability but maybe he's just trying too damn hard and it's in his head. Anyway, sounds like there was some good and some bad but to be expected the first scrimmage out. Wish I could have been there!

No need to. He's fine, as far as it sounds.

That's what I figured. No real reason to play him

The way the Oline looked yesterday it was a good thing Hill didn't play. 14 tackles for loss by the Defense. He may have gotten hurt with all that bad blocking and penetration by the Dline.

Did that look to be the starting O-line that played yesterday, or was he just taking a look at other players?

Does anyone have video of yesterday?

They were missing a few starters, but from what I saw defenders were slipping through gaps on most plays. Hard to tell if they were 1's, 2's or 3's on the O line. It seemed to me that the defensive guys knew exactly where the play was and what cadence the offense was going on. Not suprised at this point that the defensive line was getting through. O line needs time to gel, but we'll see how they progress from now until the spring game. Thought our D ends were really impressive off the edge. We really need an excellent pass rush this season. Last two years were not impressive.

Who had that long looking td run in the video? #16 i think?

Sun Apr 10, 2016 5:41 pm

It's expected to see the defense get the better of the offense at this point. It would be concerning if the offense was trashing the d.

Sounds like J. Allen has a laser-rocket arm. Hopefully there will be many long Allen-Gentry TDs this year.

Be careful - I said that a couple of weeks ago and got thoroughly chastised for saying that.

I was thinking about something. I looked back on the the West coast teams that I can remember... San Fran (all the years), norv Turner Dallas cowboys, 97-98 broncos, green bay, currently the Vikings....

Every team either hit or missed from offensive line play. The good and dominant West coast teams had bad ass lines. Teams that didn't make it had average lines. Until our offensive line takes that step I just don't see us controlling the game like we need to. Our line's getting better I think, but definetly has tremendous work to do
