Rumors...out of camp is RB Mark Thompson is still putting the ball on the ground and RT Fred Johnson is struggling. True Freshman OL Jawaan Taylor has been really good and is threatening to take the RT spot.

Dude needs to do some forearm and wrist exercises.

What are you hearing about the line in general? Sure, pass pro will still be shyt. But how are they doing in the running game.?

Looks like some of the Trask people have defected to Worton!

No defection from Trask.

Trask to Worton = the new Wuerfell to Doering!!!

Dude needs to get married...He'll be doing them with much regularity.

From what I was told Saturday is the line is opening up holes and the RB's are finding them. Also was told that pass pro has improved big time (compared to last season) but RT Fred Johnson is still swimming "mentally" with a couple things. Jawaan Taylor is pushing him hard for that RT spot and if Johnson doesn't get things straight Taylor could take his spot.

That's terrible news but exactly what I was hearing also.

What gives ? Thompson has been concentrating on not fumbling, yet he's still fumbling. That says
that he cannot be relied on.?? ... and thus cannot be relied on ??
What use can a bash-back be, since it's when you get bashed that fumbles most occur.

same here. I also hear that Scarlett is starting to figure things out.

Scarlett has been ripping long runs on the regular!

Thanks for the updates:

I hope the OL is much improved that will make all the difference. Thompson is going to have to learn how to not fumble or he is not going to get much playing time. I don't think McElwain is going to give him the ball when he puts it on the ground and there are capable backs behind him.

... heard Lewis was penalized for spearing helmet first. ??

Gonna go out on a limb here and say that if Thompson can't hold on to the ball this late in his career that he's never gonna see the field except as a blocker.

This could be the problem:

Its not this late in his career. He was a receiver up until last year, I think. He will be fine. Hes in the same boat Scarlett was last year, except he is bigger, more physical, a better blocker and a real good receiver.

Scarlett is the real deal and if he gets it figured out will be a huge asset to us this year...

I'll be honest im not sold on Thompson. Never was from the beginning

 

[rogdochar]

As for me, I want Thompson to be our RB hero, bashing tacklers out of the way, making 3 yards after
solid tackle-hits. Want to see some LBs asking to come out for a play or two.

I'll go on record as being in this camp regarding Thompson. I'd like to see Scarlett breakout, but me thinks Cronkrite is the man.

Thompson can't hold onto the ball? Hmm..well, we are short on LB's.
