Not a good sign when MacIntyre acknowledges long-term concerns.
The practice reports I miss are the ones we had here in Barzil or even the ones from people would write up in the main forum. Was pretty much the best on topic stuff we had on AB. I also miss being able to talk to Adam or hear from Will or Ryan about stuff that they didn't necessarily print. With the changes to policy, I don't feel as connected or engaged. If the intent was to make me care less about the team, it's working.
Good points.
He has always been at tackle I thought.
I believe he was listed at guard last year on the depth chart and practiced there.

Not having moretti on the injury list is huge if he's ready to go. If we have ray and moretti getting major PT this year, I won't be upset. Those two both look like NFL size guys to me and could be the bookends we need.
Edit: Filip can be included w those two

He wasn't listed at anything on the last depth chart still up at cubuffs.com. That would surprise me. I saw someone referenced that Adam had written something that spoke highly of Chance Lytle, perhaps it was in there?
He was listed at right guard behind Lynott at the beginning of last season on the depth chart CU released for Fall Camp. I am assuming he stayed there.
I'm not going to take your word for it, you are going to have to provide evidence.
Go look for yourself. You can search these depth charts on twitter. Pre-camp: 2nd string right guard, 3rd string right tackle. 8/22/17: 3rd string left guard. 8/29/17: 3rd string left guard.I'm not going to take your word for it, you are going to have to provide evidence.
Hey, I would accept it occurred to me that we already know that these depth charts are apparently put together by senile senior volunteers in the AD!
Very disappointing. We’ve been waiting for Miller to step up for a while now. It looked like last year he was finally going to come around. Grumble.
What a load of garbage. I’ve seen what they do with that “extra day”.
It’s his team, but this fan-unfriendly attutuide is starting to annoy me. He better win, because that’s the only leverage he has left. He’s certainly not endearing himself to the regular fan.

On top of that, we got nothing but fluff from Woelk last fall camp. We get one gif of unblocked Edwards destroying a guy and we cream ourselves.
That JC OT (McMullen?) Would real nice about now!

Miller is damaged goods. Anything the program gets from him going forward is an unexpected bonus.

Don't care about not having an actual "game" in the spring. Serves no purpose.
The undersized player who has exactly one year of experience at OT?
Yup. sad.

Honestly there is a lot of young oline talent on this team to be excited about. I'm not going to be so quick to worry, it's going to be hard to be worse than last year. Last year I remember reading an article (ralphie report I believe) saying 2017 was the best offensive line we've had in a long time and we saw how that went.

Mac is a really logical guy and when he Explains and defends his positions I am okay with it. I get why he doesn’t like the spring game format and I am really okay with it and will probably still be there. Now he should explain his reasoning on closing spring practices because that doesn’t make a ton of sense. And I really don’t want to hear the “we got burned in the past” excuse because he can still allow media to be there and control the messages if he wants to. Honestly if he opened up two more practices to the media only this spring I would have nothing to complain about after hearing any fan can go see a practice if they contact their buff club rep.
I get where MM is coming from on the Spring Game.
The NCAA has changed its rules and they only get so many full pads contact days. After the tackling he saw last season, he doesn't want to burn one of those contact days for a fan event instead of using it to improve fundamentals. Those fundamentals were so lacking in 2017.
My complaint is much less about this than it is about trusted media not being allowed into practice.

I understand that you, among other ab'ers were very into the practice scene, I am personally kinda jealous that I wasn't into it enough at that point to know it was a thing. That being said, from a purely strategic stand point, wouldn't you, as a buff fan, prefer that CU gets every edge possible? Perhaps he doesn't want there to be constant injury updates, players getting picked apart if they have a down day or even just to keep a closed door on the operations. To me I think that MM is trying to establish a culture similar to the *sigh* patriots organization, airtight means fewer unforeseen issues. I am a info junky so I'd love for those reports, but do you see open practice as a real driver for growing the fan base?
Yes.
That's why I haven't complained about the practices being closed to fans.
But what I don't get is why he doesn't let our local beat writers in. Tad lets Brian and Adam come to practice. Ground rules were laid out about what they were not allowed to report on unless specifically cleared. There have been zero problems. This is well known within the athletics department and Mike has a good relationship with Tad. I can't think of a single reason why he wouldn't have the same policy. A little extra pub, a little more engagement with fans, and the two main voices we follow become a little more loyal and supportive of your regime. What's the downside of that?
