Impressions from the spring game

1. Our dbs look confident and really challenge passes. There were no blown routes and the qb's had to force the ball into tight windows. There were a LOT of passes that were touched by the defense.
2. Our d-line is deep and very good. They looked physical and fast.
3. Damone Clark still cannot play LB. Jared Small looked like our best linebacker to me, all day. I think he had 15 tackles.
4. O-line is still pretty questionable, and we have no depth. It doesn't look like Kardell Thomas will ever be able to play. He's so fat and lazy, it's unbelievable.
5. WR- obviously Boutte is the man. We all know that. But I thought that Kirklin and Moore looked really good. Hopefully, another summer of 10,000 catches will have us back to 2019 form.
6. QB- I cannot decide between Max and Myles. It's a close race. Finley is definitely 4th and I'll be shocked if he doesn't transfer this summer.
I look forward to seeing our RBs being healthy in the fall. It wasn't much fun without a running game at all.
We have a long way to go, but, hopefully, they find a LB before we play UCLA. I don't know what in the world they see in Damone Clark, but he's just not the guy.

The weather today will probably be cooler than most games during the season

6-6 possible

Roy and Mcglothern jumped out to me.

I feel like the OL did great. No help because we were in empty majority of the game, and they went up against an elite DL. It's not like our QBs had to throw the ball too fast. And for the most part they did well in the running game as well

OL with all the starters back and experience then no back ups pushing - what a disappointment again. How does the OL coach still have a job again?
Only 1 standout WR and weak TE- like WTF happened there. Was recruiting that bad on evaluating talent and then no player development?
Team may have some big holes.
Only spring but could easily see 3-4 losses next fall.

- Johnson = QB1. Myles B/U. Nuss after. Nuss young will make mistakes, but can tell he has moxie the ability to develop. Johnson has a chance to be elite with long ball improvement.
- Young WRs have a chance to make immediate impact. Room aside from Boutte wide open. Kirklin looked good, but we need a #2. 10 looks slow. 6 looks the part, excited to see him develop. Would have liked to see 2 get more looks. Excited for the true freshman to come in.
- TE is a concern.
- OL looked solid in pass protection. Hopefully, they improve run blocking over summer into the fall. Impressed with young OL - Hill, Bradford and Martinez. 74 still has a bit to go, hopefully uses the next year to develop. 72 looked really good as well for a true FR.
- Young DL will be a problem for the SEC. Best shape we have been on the DL since O started. Seniors will have a hard time keeping the young kids out of the lineup come fall.
- LB group hard to guage with the offense today. Excited to see how M Jones transitions here. Probably still my biggest concern group.
- Defense backfield will be much improved in 2021 if they can stay healthly. 2 and 5 look much improved along with 21. You can tell 6 will be a problem with experience.
- Punter looks solid

Overreact much? I’m not Kirklin’s biggest fan, but he had a great game today aside from one fumble after the catch. Moore was also ok, but he had to split time at RB because of all the injuries. We also have one of the top 5 incoming WR classes. Knock Palmer for being a 5 star bust if you want, but the talent there too to bottom at WR once everyone is on campus.
The only thing you mentioned that wasn’t hair on fire crazy is TE. I think we still have one spot left in this season’s class, so it may be time to go post-spring grand transfer shopping to bolster depth there.

Agree. He’s wasting his potential here. He could be a starter somewhere else. Not sure where right now but there’s gotta be someone that could use him.

Myles looked better in the 1st half, Max in the 2nd
Posted on 4/17/21 at 2:45 pm to coachbleu
Bug Strong and the Clemson lb didn’t play. White and Sampah looked better than Clark. Lb will be okay.

Baskerville didn't play either did he? He's not in the portal is he? I can't keep up

Amen our run blocking is equivalent to the baseball teams hitting it’s terrible

He's off the team right now for academic reasons, I think. He's not enrolled in school this semester.

Isn't he away from the team now trying to get some things straight or am I thinking of the wrong guy?

Jared Small
Idk anything about him. Is he a walk on or something?
I would agree with you though I was very impressed and he was our best LB today.
