If he does, Tucker doesn't strike me as the type that won't give him the hook.

Agree on both points. Mekhi Blackmon played very well. Well enough to be in the conversation for at minimum being in the rotation, if not starting outright. I may have missed it but I did not see a single play with the QB under center. All shotgun.

I’ll also mention Udoffia made a couple nice stops
Agreed, but how does Tucker view that? Different coach, different processes, Tucker said all positions are open for competition. I believe thats true.

Baseline discount for absence of Shenault?

Notables that didn’t play but I had to leave at the end of the 3rd: J Jackson, J Moretti
I think we ran about 5 plays all day in different formats. I bet we did not run any of the actual Fall offense, or maybe 10%. No under center, no fly motion, which is a staple of Johnson. Just lead Tailback, outside fly patterns and a couple crossing routes. Same play over and over. Does show how individual talent is, especially Mangham and Arias. "WIN YOUR INDIVIDUAL BATTLES" is what Coach Tucker said, and Mangham, Arias, Landmann, and even Mekhi Blackmon won their individual battles, which is what every guy needs to do. Montez was unfocused, leaning back, throwing backyard footballs???

Montez, as has been his pattern, played like he didn’t care much.

Good point. This is only 1 of 15 practices. Plus fall camp means way more. I’m sure this performance is in MT memory backs. Still SM job to lose IMO.

It will be very interesting to hear what HCMT take is on the individual efforts put forward today

Nah, we're better than that. Bowling.
I agree, Tucker still brings up the 1 bad monday practice when interviewed about spring ball. He obviously doesn't accept poor practices, execution, and effort. The part of SM that bothered me today was his poor footwork, bad mechanics. Today looks like he regressed. Throwing off his back foot, not stepping up into the pocket, when he knows he can't get hit! the backups took a step forward.

Lots of holes. Central issues on OL and DL, especially depth for latter. CB is thin, thin. S too. Summer help needed.

I’m no expert at crowd sizes but there were way more than 3K there. I’d say double that.

We’ll be getting some good talent for the fall. Hope it fills some holes.
I agree Montez looked bad, but I was close enough to hear him and Jay Johnson talking. Sounds like a lot of the completely missed throws were guys running the wrong routes. He also got banged up a bit trying to get in the way on that trick play that was picked, not sure how much that affected him.

My take from the scrimmage:
Montez played like three-day-old flat soda. Just throwing without conviction and expecting the receivers to do the rest it seemed. Then again it did appear some receivers just missed the route
Both defenses showed up. Then the gold team offense kicked it into over drive. Noyer was solid, Arias and Mangham(sp) really showed some promise.
Stanley and Brown were the ones getting the black team offense across the stream. Nixon only seemed to do something once.
Landman was Landman, I’m glad to see that Taylor was looking good in his new role. Udoffia seemed to do good things. not to mention that JVD, M Blackmon and Wells May make some noise this year.
I think things are going to be WIDE OPEN come this summer. There is three months or so until summer camp starts!

Mangham looked like the clear #1 RB. I think we'll get more from the backups than we got from Kyle Evans and Bisherat. Probably Fontenot #2, then Smith, Davis, Broussard.
Noyer was the MVP. Disappointing to see Montez still throwing off his back foot and into double coverage as a senior.
Tony Brown is a solid player, but I'm still surprised he's ahead of Arias. Maurice Bell showed some things. Fantastic depth at WR.
As others have noted, that looked very much like last year's offensive scheme other than a couple of throws to the TE. Surprising after the talk of having the QB under center a third of the time and running some two TE sets. I guess they didn't want to show anything to the Rams.

You brought your nephew so the players would be more willing to sign your jersey? Did he get any autographs?
