If that groin is fully healed ...... watch out ! Definitely could be two consecutive MAC defensive player of the year awards for Akron !!

Pittman is out for the Spring

Bingo !!!

Zips in top 50 at 42 ... Respectable !! http://www.philsteele.com/Blogs/2016/MAR16/DBMar14.html

And the word I get is that he is KILLING it on the field so far this spring !!! Freakin ecstatic to hear that JoJo, Jerome and the WR group seems to be the highlight of Spring thus far !!!

Haven't heard of Marcus to OLB. DL is banged up with Pittman out. The DL you speak of re-injured his hamstring Saturday (also kept him out of most of mat drills) and is probably done for Spring. He is making progress but needs to continue to fatten up (Thanks for asking) Guess I gave the boy the dreaded kiss of injury by sating we need to get through spring ball with no injuries !!

Pittman did have surgery and is not in spring drills (should have clarified) ...... 36 tackles in each of his two years seems pretty consistent (second leading tackler on DL behind Coe last year). May not be as high as numbers as one might want, but I personally saw no major weakness in his game. Not sure how you see it as a negative endorsement from Bowden. As a Senior on the D-Line (or any spot as a senior and a returning 2 year starter). As a Coach, I would without a doubt look for "bigger things" from a senior but more from a leadership perspective............ Maybe not though.

Straight up UGLY .......... Period

Go Zips !!!

Honestly the most I've gotten is really the obvious, Jamal and Sevon are "ridiculous" (in a stud way) and that the d-line will "not be an issue" this season. LB's will be OK and with the acception of Jatavis, more athletic ... D needs leadership figures (my assessment) O-line - "some big a$& boys we got", but a lot of work to do to gel. .. And Woody looks "right" !! No program shattering news to share from here .. More from the scrimmages I'm sure Just get everyone through Spring ball without injuries and let Coach Sleeve have them for the summer !!

Very Nice ........ !!!

Spot on Sir !! Leadership !! Atta Boy Woody !!!!

Confirmed ..... Add one as he had 5 ..... Unstoppable Unannounced scrimmage tomorrow... Full go !! Wasnt there but confirmed

Early Spring practice reports that JoJo is a serious baller !!!

And it is officially under way !!! Spring Football 2016 - Akron Zips !!

Damn ........ Terrible stuff for sure

Good addition ..... Nice payday !! And beatable !

Local Georgia Kid from Peachtree Ridge High School ............. Not much hype at all out of HS, but has good blood lines. Father is Tony Jones, played 14 years in the NFL as a OL ............... But I agree, If Coach Amotto likes the kid, I;m sure there is upside !

Keep sending them our way Coach Meyer !! Jamal and Sevon and Tommy Brown have done pretty well for us !! Hope Coach Bowden is cultivating that relationship !!

Mostly agreed .. But does anyone know yet who is going to put the 2016 Akron Zips O-line together ? Im a little behind still, but haven't seen any names
