Official Spring Practice Thread

Has there been any mention of Lyle or Vaughn?

If Middlemiss has truly taken some steps forward, that is nice, but we are still talking about a potential RG. Is the OT situation still dire?

God wears a 90's buffs windbreaker. This Moretti news is huge. Any update on if Ray is on this same plan?

Haven’t heard a thing on Ray. The one I’m most curious about is whether Miller can get himself repaired or if it’s not in the cards.

OG is also dire if we don’t have a guy to spell Lynott for this season. If we knew he was healthy we’d just need someone to emerge as a LG starter with 1 quality depth piece. As it stands, we have to think of it as finding 2 starter quality OGs plus a quality depth piece. Scary.

One would hope there is a backup RG somewhere in the 2017/2018 classes. Maybe Tonz?

I want to remind our newest members of the board that you can get practice reports ANYTIME by PM'ing Burrito Palazzo. He has been granted special access to practices, as a member of the AllBuffs community, in lieu of the website getting a press credential. Burrito has agreed to only provide his reports via direct PM, and not to post them to the board, to avoid any prying enemy eyes. Get on Burrito's practice report PM distro. You won't be disappointed.

Well played, Spiff! Folks, note my location. I subscribe, philosophically, to @96 Buff 's customer service ethic.
 
Fillip coming in ready would be ideal.

Haigler, Kaiser, Pursell, Lynott, Fillip seems like a better 5 than we currently have

I thought about this for a second and thought maybe I missed something when I signed up. Then I remembered this was allbuffs and this was somehow a trap.

So you're saying that Sherman, Polley and the others aren't looking too good?

I suppose Miller, Moretti and Lynott getting healthy enough to play would be just as ideal as Filip being ready to go.
Maybe the JC OL Lorentz coming in ready to roll might help.

Damn, I need those practice reports. Can we get them in video format please.
 
We and the media have been openly complaining about no open practices. We had one yesterday, right? Why has there been zero coverage and zero buzz?
 
I have seen 100's of CU practices in the last 25 years. The OL I have seen this spring is probably the worst I have ever seen in that time. If it does not get dramatically better, I don't see how this team wins more than 2 or 3 games in the PAC 12, even with Oregon St at home.

On the other hand, even if we 5-7 or worse, I fully expect MacIntyre back in 2019. At 6-6, he is a shoe-in to be back.

Just making an overly dramatic statement without concrete examples sounds like hyperbole.

When did you see them this Spring? We need specifics. Give examples. Full pads or not. Scrimmages, 1 on 1 drills. personnel at which positions etc.
You are an overtly negative person with an apparent agenda and you have no credibility unless you can cite details and specifics.

Really, worst in 25 years? That's believable. Worse than the 1 - 11 team?

Glad to hear you say that MM will be here in 2019.
 
Nothing was worse than the 2012 team. Nothing. Anybody who ways otherwise is fooling themselves.

Yesterday was only open practice to my knowledge. Other than size and some agility, you could tell nothing about the OL yesterday. Although Montez did have to scramble and throw it away a bit, but that’s not always on OL.

Not even the resident whiner is whining, that’s saying something.

Trust me, there was plenty to be concerned about, namely the need for more athletes.

Chiv in charge.
They practice FAST. Everything. Periods are quick. Unit drills interspersed with 7s and thud 11s.
They even practice getting off the ground from prone position and running to the sidelines quickly.
They also practice how to practice fast.
Signals are more simple. Everything off a signal.
Lots of reps w/o substitutions.
Simulated drives, no subs. Get aligned. Run play. Get on ball. Run another play.
All TEs play in slot, either tight or mostly wide.
Not a single rep with TE in traditional position.
Very, very few sets with 2 RBs. Mostly 1 x 4 sets. Some slot motion to create trips but not much.
If there are two RBs, it’s usually Nixon who goes in motion to create slot or trips.
Tunnels, bubbles and hitches.
Lots of timing routes.
Montez shorter throwing motion.
WRs are big. Physical. Brown will play.
Some can separate. Some can’t.
They want the ball on the edge. In space. Bubbles, flares, hitches, tunnels out of 4 wide, sometimes stacked.
QBs practice bad snaps.
All QB drills are quick. Eyes, feet, release. Roper works them quick, quick, quick.
RBs are small except Bish. Fontenot plus back. Others meh.
Running plays are simple. Not many reads.
Lots of pulling. Guards are nimble.
OTs questionable
Can’t really tell much about OL without contact, rather than thud.
Blackoutboyz strut. They like Chiv.
Ambrose and DL coach are good. Intense.
Jones looks the part, but Not nimble. Stiff. Project. Needs to step up game.
Edwards is slimmer. Still needs to drop.
Sami is a monster.
Bernardi has limited role.
Lang is big. Can add weight.
Falo can play. Mustafa can play. Davion can play.
CBs got a ways to go.
Moretti out there.
Situational drives, including spikes and FGs, RZ runs, trapping on STs.
Some key players held out. Precautionary.
Who are the leaders???
Good crowd. Friendly support staff.
Very organized practice.
I didn’t go inside as they finished practice.
You like fast? You’ll like 18 Buffs.
More athletes that past, but many more needed.

It’s a 5-4 or 4-5 conference win team.
MM is not the long term answer.
