Spring ball: Spring Scrimmage on Saturday

[Gatorbait25]

At this point, he hast to be nearly the sole reason that we ultimately want BN to succeed. I don’t think he stays if they make a change and I’d love to see him spend 3+ years a Gator.

He makes Randall Cunningham and Warren moon look like Jamarcus. Goat material. Oh **** he just threw it straight at a linebacker

I was waiting for him to force it. It’s been a bit of an issue in Camp. He’s got the season to work on it.

The swamp is looking about as filled as Marlins park .

My goodness. LJ, McCray is a monster.

I was impressed with Lagways arm and accuracy. He'll be a good understudy.

The RB unit is solid. Bough (sp) has really good vision. He looks better than Johnson (running... can he block? Catch out of the backfield?) 6' 237 lbs???

ST missed to FGs and had 10 men on D.

First half team had energy. Second half team looked lethargic.

I can't get excited . This team, under this coach , takes me back to the Carter Malaise days.

 

[Gator87]

Yes. Novemberish.

Of what year?

 

[Sec14Gator]

Mertz looks great.

I had the sense that the Defenses may have been more effective in the second half.

But very hard to tell. The announcers talked a little about defensive players, but never about defensive PLAYS, except for the INTs. And of course the touch rules for QBs have an effect, both ways. Lagway would have had some longer runs with normal tackling rules.

I was encouraged that we had a number of receivers who had separation, which only Pearsol & EW!!! managed much of last year. But is that them, or the defense?

As always, the Spring Game is a Rorschact blot test that probbaly says more about your expectations than about how the players and coaches actually performed.

BINGO!

 

[Silverback Gator]

EWIII looks great.
Mertz looks great.
Baugh looks like he’s going to be good
OL looks solid
Burke looks the best he’s looked since his frosh season.

Dike looks average. We need a transfer portal WR 2024 or teams are just going to focus on EWIII.

Could only listen radio. Mertz looked better? Not sure what that means in a Spring game but anything promising four months from season start seems good.

Million dollar question.

 

[LaylaGator]

Mertz is just about the only known quantity. I'm not too concerned how he looked today.

 

[MJMGator]

Hoping to see signs of life.

Looks like you and hundreds of others.

Are you still saving up for your first-ever $50 donation?

Yes....I had the pay the whores their first bonus but I'm working on it.

Spring game looked a little better than I expected. We may have some players who are gonna be good. Defense looked alot tighter. DJ looked better than I expected this early in the season. I hope Billy is smart enough to put some packages together for him. It could give us some added push in close games. Its hard to tell what we will actually look like but I think we see some decent improvement. I guess we shall see.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

OL looks solid

Heard this said but didn't really get any confirmation. Was the defense being handcuffed from blitzing this year? Vs basically blitzing every play last year.

Unfortunately we still can't count to 11 when it comes to making sure we have enough guys on the field.

That is sad. Its one of the big reasons I have doubted Billy. His in game management is the worst I have ever seen.

 

[DMVGator]

Have to wonder what we are seeing, a secondary that cannot track receivers or an offense that's going to be difficult to stop.

You’re seeing a bad team
