johnnyzip84 Posted August 18, 2013 Author Report Posted August 18, 2013 Brandon Phillips got some reps @ slot receiver. The Cincy Reds were none too happy about it, either Also, the roster has been updated. Quite a few number changes. Link Just messing with you, K92! The number switching is interesting. I saw some of Friday's practice (just drills), and most of these number changes had not yet occurred. But Justin March had already switched to 5. This may have started the ball rolling, since Capi went from 11 to March's old 45. It's interesting that old HS teammates Chisholm and Holmes are now both wearing 7. It's GREAT to see Pittman officially on the roster (#2), even though he's not eligible until 2014. One thing I would point out from the special teams drills I witnessed. TB seems to be using a lot of guys who probably won't see much time at their regular positions in various roles on special teams. It's further testament to the increased depth the 2013 squad has at its disposal, and I think it's a very wise move. It's a way of keeping players like Bailey, Skolmutch, etc active and involved. Skolmutch, by the way, is looking pretty good as the long snapper. I was concerned about this in the spring, but not so "mutch" anymore Quote
K92 Posted August 18, 2013 Report Posted August 18, 2013 Brandon. Wow. I am turning into one of those old farts that can't keep names straight. Sorry, Drew. At least I didn't call you Wilson. Quote

zipsfan33 Posted August 20, 2013 Report Posted August 20, 2013 With the weight loss, grey hair and those dark glasses anyone thinking Coach is looking like Barry Weiss from Storage Wars?? Anyways, any word on the winner of the punting competition? Quote
Dr Z Posted August 20, 2013 Report Posted August 20, 2013 GT interview with MTBI can't wait to see this translate on the field! Quote
mivid12 Posted August 20, 2013 Report Posted August 20, 2013 Third sentence of story: "The offense, produced some big plays that didn’t hit on deep passes, he said." Can someone tell me what this means? and here I thought you were a professor Quote

Can someone tell me what this means? and here I thought you were a professor It would be a fun quasi-sentence to diagram. I suspect the offense also produced several small plays that didn't hit on deep passes. Quote
UA1987 Posted August 20, 2013 Report Posted August 20, 2013 GT interview with MTB No mention of McNamara moving into the first unit on the offensive line. I thought I saw him dressed but with shoulder pads off at practice last week. Not sure however. Last week alot of work was done on the short passing game, and stunting drills on the defense line. Things were looking good. Quote

ZachTheZip Posted August 21, 2013 Report Posted August 21, 2013 As camp winds down and preparation for UCF begins, GT wrote this article about longtime friends Nordly Capi and CJ James. Maybe we should call them the Bash Brothers. Quote
Zipmeister Posted August 21, 2013 Report Posted August 21, 2013 As Nordly has suggested let's try to leave the past in the past. Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted August 21, 2013 Report Posted August 21, 2013 Maybe we should call them the Bash Brothers. I'm dying to know how you'd promote Quincy Diggs this upcoming season. Quote
akzipper Posted August 21, 2013 Report Posted August 21, 2013 I feel like after what happened last season, UA will stay away from promoting specific players. Quote
ZachTheZip Posted August 21, 2013 Report Posted August 21, 2013 Come on. Never watched The Mighty Ducks? Buncha old farts. Anyway, these guys are defensive linemen. Even if you want to move on from the past, embrace the reputation of having a mean streak. Quote
LZIp Posted August 21, 2013 Report Posted August 21, 2013 Someone please post what they thought of the scrimmage tonight if they were there. Quote
Blue & Gold Posted August 22, 2013 Report Posted August 22, 2013 Has anyone heard anything concerning Zach D'Orazio? I haven't heard or read a thing about him all preseason. Quote
K92 Posted August 22, 2013 Report Posted August 22, 2013 Has anyone heard anything concerning Zach D'Orazio? I haven't heard or read a thing about him all preseason. From what I saw, Zach looked alright in practice. I was told he is 100% healthy. I am hoping he is an under the radar kind of guy that can come in and pick up a lot of the slack that is left in Marquelo's absence. He sure did look good before his injury last year. Quote
zipsfan33 Posted August 22, 2013 Report Posted August 22, 2013 Zips Live returns this year. (Monday night AFTER Aeros game. Then normally on Thursday nights.) Any word on a TV show with Coach Bowden? Quote

ZippyRulz Posted August 26, 2013 Report Posted August 26, 2013 OK, I'm ready...is it Thursday yet? Was that Cody Grice bustin the dance moves? Quote
