Is there a radio station airing commentary that I can listen to on tunein?

If there are pancakes you can bet Teller's near.

We can't throw/catch the deep ball to save our lives

They'll really get after ya

In what I have seen from the O-line drills, Teller is manhandling the DTs. He has turned away all of their rushes and handled their moves. Straight-up stood a guy up on what looked like a speed rush. Dude is a beast. The caveat is that I am trying to watch the somewhat grainy video sideways, but I know #57 is doing well.

"Exit light..."

How does the rest of the line look? I know you can't give specifics on a grainy feed, but in general?

Not horrible :/ but I've seen some rushers get through. But they just had an awesome TD run to the left side.

Was it against the #1 D or is everything mixed and matched today?

Was the "1st team" today taking out injuries of course.

McGlock looks a little rusty. Got beat by a DE in the drills, just got called for holding. Otherwise, I'm a generally a bad judge of O-line play.

It was also funny to watch Torrian go sprinting downfield screaming profanity. Maybe a coverage bust? Play got called back on a different penalty, though.

Is anyone else LOVING this level of expectation from our offensive staff?

Thanks goodness opposing teams can't use a boxing glove on a stick during games.

We put the K in Kwality

T Gray or Zohn just went ballistic.

Who's got my F***ING......

Haha yeah I saw that too.

Major issue with 2nd string center and Durkin.

Defense just got saved by the forward progress whistle.

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

Yep, that was a tough move by DJ Reid (I think) to break away from that tackle and hustle down field.

"Exit light..."

Please tell me you guys are sitting together and taking turns updating this thread.

The live stream from SC for me.

Fuller's mohawk is fresh as hell.

Frank gettin after em with that megaphone.

Is Brewer throwing today?

"I liked you guys a lot better when everybody told you you were terrible." -Justin Fuente

Nope.

"Exit light..."

Damn it. This is not good. Media gets access to the coordinators after scrimmage, yes? Gotta figure out what's going on with him.

"I liked you guys a lot better when everybody told you you were terrible." -Justin Fuente

One of the beat writers said no. That is really going to hurt him of it goes on much longer.

Holland Fisher pass deflection on Durkin?

Yep. Looked like nobody picked him up off the edge.

Couldn't see who picked Ford.

Ford throws a pick, defense goes nuts. I believe that was #2 O vs. #2 D. Didn't catch who got the pick.

"Exit light..."

I thought I saw the camera pan away right after some screaming about half an hour ago. Not good.

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

Well, like Coach Wiles said, "As long as a grenade doesn't go off." Right?

"That kid you're talking to right there, I think he played his nuts off! And you can quote me on that shit!" -Bud Foster

Sounds like he'll be OK.

"Exit light..."

Motley steps up in the pocket nicely and throws a strike for a first down.

"Exit light..."

Durkin is having a rough go out there.

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

backup Oline is struggling

against 1 or 2s

My impression of Ford is that he has the lowest arm strength of the returning QB's. Motley looks very confident in the backfield, Durkin didnt really do anything bad but also nothing to distinguish himself.

And Mcmillian looked like he will be a solid contributor for us for the next few years

They'll really get after ya

Missed the whole thing. Is the full clip going to be posted anywhere?

damn that was fast.....

They'll really get after ya

Either it was a run heavy scrimmage or their weren't many passing highlights. Run game looked good in the plays where the O line held. To many of those plays had free rushers though.

Plan for the worst and hope for the best, not the other way around.

There weren't many good pass plays, but it was also really windy, so that probably affected play calls and efficacy of the passes that were thrown.

"Exit light..."

I found myself impressed with the Motley run right through the defense before I realized QBs can't get hit. What was the point of that play then?

Who was non contributors who looked sharp?

Win one for the Beamer...

Got to the game around 12, just in time to see McMillan bust off his TD run.
My thoughts:
Motuapuaka had a great game. He was great at filling the hole and he seemed to be in on every tackle. Only noticed Lydon on the play when he smacked Bucky down towards the end.

Keihn is a mall dude for DE he has the speed to make some plays but he definitely needs to add weight.

Terrell Edmunds looked great in coverage the WR wasn't getting much separation from him.

McMillan was impressive when he was in the game defintely has the speed, I'd lik to see more between the tackle plays though.

The interior OL looked great Conte, Teller, and Gallo (I think). Both tackles had there moments but also had some times when they were getting beat.

I assuming this periscope app is for Apple only? Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
