the diploma will taste just as sweet, and you will be used to the working world reality.

“We have to have an identity of what we are and who we are,” [Loeffler] said.

That, ladies and gentlemen, is exactly what we want to hear.

Then Leoffler goes on to say, “[...] if you have 9,455 schemes you’re normally not good at any of them[...]”

If I didn't know any better, I would almost say that is an incitement against Stinespring.

I can't wait for the Spring Game. Bring them on!

I must be a dirty old man if remember her in the Lost in Space remake.....

Logan seems to be making a point of throwing the ball nose-down to catch the receiver in the gut, putting it away from DBs. VanDyke looks mean, would be excellent to have some actual MLB depth. And Edmunds still runs with a weird-looking gait to me, but 80 yards and two TDs does not suck at all.

Every team that has plays out of the shot-gun MUST use bubble screens. It's a necessity vs modern defenses.

WR's just need to block is all.

And if you don't run it 7 times in a half. That's why I was sick of the bubble screen in January. Now that we see it once a scrimmage, I like it a lot more.

4) Can we stop with the carping over the bubble screens? If they are blocked well, it is a great play (and sets up tons of action downfield.) Last season, we had four receivers that blocked like wet farts. That is why it didn't work.

I second this. I know the screen passes didn't work because of piss poor blocking last year, but Moorehead appeared to have this issue fixed. Plus, Loeffler would have raised hell about it.

Terrific analysis so far. Some quick thoughts.

1) On the play where Meyer gets laid out, that may have not been the best decision by Logan, but he was rushed because Kris Harley went by Caleb Farris like Farris was a wall of wet tissue paper. What an outstanding swim move technique by Harley. I am not sure what Harley has done to find a bed in Chateau Bow Wow, but I am not seeing it on the field. He is clearly much more talented than the players he is getting reps with.

2. Taraschke looked very comfortable and seemed to be in on all the reps shown on video with Logan Thomas taking reps. On the pancake, Williams gets a bit of an interior angle on Taraschke, but Taraschke demonstrated superior pop and upper body strength to get under Williams pads and get him off balance. Williams went down because he tripped a bit over the heels of another blocker, but he wasn't getting to the QB after that shot.

3) Logans throws up the seams to Malleck and McCray were very sharp. Tight ends and hBacks were heavily utilized and not just on underneath routes at Auburn. They have to contribute more than last year.

4) Can we stop with the carping over the bubble screens? If they are blocked well, it is a great play (and sets up tons of action downfield.) Last season, we had four receivers that blocked like wet farts. That is why it didn't work.

5) DJ Coles looks like he is getting back up to speed (and looks lighter now than he did in fall camp.) I didn't like the hitch in his stride after catching the beautiful TD pass. STAY HEALTHY DJ.

True, True. Any play can be effective if they execute.

Logan's footwork is the key to him being an effective passer in the pocket. I remember a lot of Logan and O'Cain comments in Bitter's articles was all related to his shoulder, but never once did they mention footwork. It is pretty clear to me that O'Cain lost his touch while Loeffler have already basically restored Thomas. That was the one thing I noticed right away about Thomas from the first highlight that was shown on this site.

Well shoot, I had 12 credits coming out of high school, but I've yet to have even one semester in 4 years (out of 5, thanks to two co-op semesters) where I've had a day off. The classes I need are always offered in just the right time slots so that my schedule turns out to be crap. It's very sad.
