What's the bull case for Lytle? He seemed like a pretty good recruit and has been in the system forever. Is there any evidence to support him surprising on upside?

I think a lot of the problem is because the last two staffs absolutely refused to play anyone other than Montez, which has created this problem. It could mean he is just not good enough as a P5 QB, we will find out soon enough.

And maybe some of that was due to the defense and the fact that everyone looked lost at the beginning of last year, but I honestly felt like his athleticism was exposed against ****braska last year, specifically the swing pass to their RB that went for an 80 yard TD right after KD's flea flicker TD.

Feels like he's an old school Big 12 CU ILB, not one made for covering RBs in the Pac 12, but hopefully he proves me wrong. I just think he's been recruited over at this point.

Agreed on JVD. In the CSU and Nebraska game he looked like Gamboa in terms of athleticism. I know he had an injury and obviously swimming some in this defense, but he was exposed big time in those two first games and was replaced by Jones.

Potential. Potential. Potential.
Need to see on-field results.

 

[The Alabaster Yak]

Can only run fast in a straight line, has suspect hands, and poor lateral agility?

And that got him drafted.

DK or Arias?

DK or Arias?

Was a joke. That was DK’s combine/draft report

But those abs tho.

If he's not good enough it would have been easy to find out in live action during one of the many losses the last three years. Instead, we are forced to roll the dice this year.

Play them early, and if they aren't good, run them off and recruit new ones. MacIntyre and Mel, it's not that hard.

Nothing too crazy in here but things that stood out to me:

- Around :17, #58 Alvin Williams looks quick and has good size. Noticeably bigger than a lot of the other true freshmen.

- Mustafa and Landman are in the video a bit and they’re both clearly in good physical shape.

- A lil after the 1:00 mark is the only sighting of Clayton but damn it looks cool seeing a #0 out there.

I think we need to pare down the playbook this year, not overload the players. Focus on technique and play fast. Also there is a fear of injury if you overwork the players.

Definitely some RPO concepts in the offense, so it won’t be a total throwback scheme.

Ding, ding, ding. We have our first "simplify the playbook" sighting of the year. FOOTBALL IS BACK, BABY

Oh, Colorado will throw backwards this year.

 

[wsp4820]

Oh, Colorado will throw backwards this year.

On purpose?

 

[goalline]

On purpose?

Consider it a lateral move for the coaching staff.

 

[SeanMSan]

Normally this time, any other year, we would be laughing or crying as Buffs fans. I’m enjoying the August in October environment. I’m sad that the 2020 season is short, but at least we can see what the new era will be like!

Which QB with ones?

I thought Landman looked heavy.

 

[PAC MAN]

I thought Landman looked heavy.

The artilce I was reading said that Landman was coming off a long quarantine...wonder if he got COVID-19? Buffs need to be ready to cover for Landman this season.

#2 Brenden Rice making some plays. Was probably just a drill but it looked like #70 Casey Roddick was playing OT against #18 Jeremiah Doss.

 

[Duff Man]

He will be missed.

 

[Bread]

Gotta say, the DBs have come a long way from two years ago as well.

Only real question on defense is the pass rush.

Also, gonna be interesting to see if Watts can adequately replace Kinney and if Stefanou can stay healthy.

I'm actually pretty comfortable with little Price if Stefanou can't stay healthy. Doesn't have the same leg strength but he seemed pretty accurate from 40 and in. 9/11 for his career and if I remember right, one of those misses was a blocked kick.

 

[SilvrGldBuff]

Not sure what Clemson was thinking there - that plan backfires quickly

- oops - wrong thread, sorry

Wrong thread but yea

 

[Alfred91]

He will be missed.

Sarcasm, or no?

Serious question.

 

[Johnny Juzang]

Is Jaylen Jackson fully healthy. So much potential before the injury issues.
