Love the confidence Devin Ross is showing!
I really don't miss the days of having 1.5 pac 12 WR on the team.
Yeah, DD Goodson wouldn't exactly be a primary target on this team.
I think there's a lot to that saying around the program about "iron sharpens iron". Having what was basically an NFL secondary last season made these guys so much better. Plus great coaching and recruiting from Chev. Still having trouble wrapping my head around all the preseason pundits saying we've got one of the top 5 WR corps in the nation even though the productivity facts support it.
Now, what we've got to hope is that this comes full circle and the iron that gets sharpened this camp is our young CBs who are trying to cover these dudes every day.
Where have you gone Tyler McCulloch?
It'd be nice for Montez to go from Shay, Bobo, Ross and Winfree as the top 4 to Winfree, Ento, and then a combination of Huntley/Brown/Shenault/Jackson/Bell/Nixon as 3/4 in 2018. All this assuming Winfree stays in school and doesn't try to leave for the draft.

If the OL can give Montez time to get through his reads (and he learns to get through them) this offense can compete with anyone in the country. Someone will be open on every play. It all starts up front though.

Fo has no chance in that matchup with a well thrown ball. Ross is a burner. Recovery speed looked good from Fo, though.
Little more air under that ball and Fo has no shot.
Nick Fisher doesn't skip arm day.

If that ball's not under thrown, Ross beats him by 5 yds.
Yeah. Or would piss me off at Eliot if there's ever a game situation where Fo is isolated without help over the top against a WR who runs a sub 4.4 forty.
Can we just say Devin has come a long way from his first couple of seasons when he would routinely drop bubble screens?
Yes. Fun to watch.
Fo v. Ross play reactions:
1) Wow, Look at Ross run!
2) Dammit, who underthrew that ball?
3) Holy ****, what a catch by Ross, he's come a loooong way.
4) I remained convinced we will really miss Tedric Thompson. Good physical play by pho, but didn't react at all to Ross's adjustment.

Wouldn't Fo be the over the top help as a safety?
Yes. There were cases last year when Tedric was asked to run with a slot WR without help, though. So I expect Fisher to be in that spot every now and then this year, but not Fo. Where Fo can't get beat over the top is when he's providing that help.
pretty sure that would mean both.
Lytle was the one who threw it btw.Fo v. Ross play reactions:

The 14 second mark shows part of the roll tackle (Seahawks tackling) drill. We did the same drills when I was coaching, so it's pretty cool to see CU doing them.
Callier getting a little run. One of the guys a lot of folks who follow the program thought could contribute early. Sounds like he made one hell of an athletic play that most guys couldn't execute. (Maybe I'm wrong about his future being with his hand on the ground.)

Rush linebacker all the way. That frame is close to tapped out.
