2023 Fall Training Camp: Mertz named starter

[B52G8rAC]

Dont think we'll see much dropping with the 4.8 Safeties gone.
That said, If AA doesnt blitz Utah's QB (whether its the starter on 1 leg or the backup whos inexperienced) into submission ill be very disappointed.

Our front 7 will decide if we are a 6 win team or a 8 win team

Or 14.

Out for the season

Injuries to key players already. This was something we absolutely had to avoid and we haven’t even started losing players in actual games. Boone and Carrol out for season. Starting Center hurt. Billy can’t catch a break. We don’t have depth yet to deal with this crap if it keeps piling up.

These strokes of bad injury luck can definitely affect win/loss totals, especially for a rebuilding team, if they get out of hand. I remember seasons where the list of players getting sidelined was ridiculous and costly, but haters will just say Billy’s a crap coach and want him gone by November. Damn.

Kneijah Harris is a better center, Edge is deep, RB still ok, but not deep.

BN keeps emphasizing our youth and inexperience here. Says we’re talented, bigger, and faster, but still raw and it sounds like young guys still have a ways to go with consistency.

Sounds like a guy who is excited for the future but realistic about the present state of the rebuild.

Press was insinuating that the staff is careless with the amount of hitting going on in practice and he replies that collegiate ball is there to develop players, not necessarily coddle them.

SPOT ON.

HEARTWARMING. OF COURSE STAFF WANTS TO AVOID INJURIES BUT IT IS A CONTACT SPORT AGAINST YOUNG MEN WHO COME TO PLAY HARD. HAVE TO BE READY... and no, I'm not yelling at you.

Big guy, listed at 325. But also a FR.

Cool! I didn’t realize that, but I have been there. I was born in Bartow & raised in Lakeland then worked there for 12+ years. Currently in Lake Wales.

I swear, If I see our D Backs dropping 15 yards at the snap on a 3rd and 5, I'm going to lose my shiit.

Me too!

There’s a lot of chatter in different places that the second string QB is not Miller or Brown. But will be Micah Leon.

He’s a walk-on QB. A 7th year senior.

He can throw an accurate hitch. He’s already ahead of Richardson.

I’m with you, this list could be so much worse

Truth is we don't know much about him. But we do know what we have with Miller. There's no way he's worse

Unless On3 is reporting it, I don’t believe it
