Spring Practice thread: Report: OT Noah Banks has been cleared to play

It's implied. No one wants to just come out and say it, or Franks would break down into tears and be useless for the rest of the spring.

He is already useless. No snaps in practice as he has fallen behind EJ, Trask, JJ and Jaylin Jackson. He’ll never play another down.

The OL is going to be an issue. 3 of the 5 are pretty set (Heggie, Bleich, & Buchanan), the other two are probably set due to the lack of depth (Forsythe & Delance). Gouraige & Moore are the only non-true freshman backups right now. If Banks returns he could win a starting spot. And Griffin McDowell is still recovering from his scooter crash. McDowell will probably be the #2 center when he returns. The only real "battle" seems to be between Forsythe and Gouraige for OT.

Delance, btw is the 2nd highest rated OL on the roster coming out of HS (behind Gouraige - and not by much. Gouraige was ranked around 80th overall when he came out of HS and Delance was ranked around 120).

Until he shaves that nasty thing off his face, I won't believe he's serious about being a team leader.

Maybe it is one of those, "I'm not shaving this thing until we win a title" things.

That’s a lifetime commitment for Franks.

Gotta admit to being disappointed that Gouraige has not grabbed a starting tackle position. A guy ranked as high he was should be a starter by his second season. Hopefully it will all come together for him by fall camp.

You have mods for this stuff. There do have some function, right?

Thanks for changing the title Ox. This one is much more accurate.

FYI, I have not touched the title a single time. Either it's my mods or the OP doing it.

Cleveland finally learning to catch with his hands instead of his pads. Maybe he doesn't have to move to safety after all.

I still like him.....he won't get great numbers but he blocks like an animal, and is an absolute terror on special teams....I'm not sure anybody in the country has a better group of receivers than we do.

But the title is so damn good.

V. Miller looked really good in the rush/block drill. Perine was really good in that drill as well.
