  10. Jatavis Brown

    in Akron Zips Football

    Posted · Edited by zzx

    Jatavis Brown had 5 solo tackles, 1 assisted tackle, 2 tackles for loss including 1 sack and a forced fumble, and 2 passes defended in Chargers 22-26 loss to the Colts. Brown replaced Manti Te'o who went down with a non contact injury in the first quarter. Brown was expected to start next week against the Saints, however this depends on the status of his leg injury.

    With 1:08 remaining in the second quarter, #57 Jatavis Brown strip sacks Colts QB Andrew Luck. Brown's teammate DT #91 Caraun Reid picks up the loose football and rambles 61 yards to the end zone for a TD.

    My only worry is that we need the bigger backs for short yardage situations.

     

    They have plenty of big guys on the team that could get short yardage, they just haven't tried them yet.. For one, Christian Allen is actually listed as a fullback on the roster. Then there is Newman Williams, Brennan Williams, and Freshman Davonte Jest to name a few.

    Special teams:  pleasantly surprised by delivering a solid performance. Nice punts by Gasser, one would have gone another 10 but our guy picked it up. O'Leary seems to have adequately exercised his demons. Good coverage on punts and kick offs and finally one to the house...the first one since 2004.

     

    Maybe they should let Natson return kickoffs sometimes.

    After being cut by the Jaguars last year, DE Nordly Capi was signed by the Ravens to their practice squad in October of 2015. Capi was subsequently cut by the Ravens in May of 2016. He was picked up by the Falcons in June. In the Falcons 17-15 win over the Jaguars, their last preseason game,

    #96 Capi had 5 tackles (3 solo) including a sack and a TFL along with 2 QB hits. This past Sunday, Capi was placed on the Falcons practice squad. Here are some things you may not know about the well traveled Capi.

  17. Depth Chart is Out

    I am a little surprised Copeland is starting over Hamilton. 

     

    Actually, Brock Boxen is starting over Hamilton at DT. Copeland is starting at NT. NT and DT are two different positions in the 4-3 defense. According to this article, the DT commonly uses the 3 technique (lined up on outside shoulder of the guard) and NT the 1 technique (lined up on outside shoulder of center). Additionally, these positions are usually manned with players of different body types primarily because of their particular job responsibilities.

     

    DTPROTO2_crop_exact.png?w=650&h=432&q=85

     

    Compared to the frequently faster DT, the NT is often shorter in height for greater leverage, heavier in weight to create a barrier and clog the rushing lanes, and stronger. The primary job of the NT is to stop the run. The DT must also stop the run and is additionally a more versatile pass rusher.

    I am not sure how it plays out. He was on a roster then dropped during the season. Looks like he didn't play in a game last year.

     

    It will probably play out like this:

     

    2014 Kentucky Freshman

    2015 Kentucky RS Freshman

    2016 Akron RS Sophomore (must sit out due to NCAA transfer rules)

    2017 Akron RS Junior

    2018 Akron RS Senior

    unless he receives a transfer exception, in which case he would be eligible this year.

    If they are sitting out, they can't participate - why would they show on the roster? They aren't officially on the team if they are sitting out.

     

    If you stop this video at the :41 second mark, then you should be able to see #85 Freddie Simmons Jr. dressed in practice gear and standing on the sideline between #28 Manny Morgan and the guy holding the orange bulls-eye marker stick (also Simmons Jr. can be spotted at the 1:04 mark standing askew toward the right of the screen). He obviously practices with the team. He is a part of the team. He is learning the playbook etc. He just can't suit up for and play in any games like against VMI or at Wisconsin, or any other game on the 2016 schedule.
