akron4ever Posted March 16, 2016 Report Posted March 16, 2016 I was informed that Mykel Traylor-Bennett may be switching positions. Maybe not the worst thing since we are deep at WR. I also heard that Marcus picked up where he left off and had 4 sacks yesterday. Can anyone who was there verify either? Quote

LZIp Posted March 17, 2016 Report Posted March 17, 2016 We all know Marcus is a stud, but hopefully the 5 sacks had more to do with him and not the O line... 2 Quote

RobotHam Posted March 18, 2016 Report Posted March 18, 2016 Defense is going to be key. Zips leaned on the defense last year, and without Brown/Grice, need to find that new strength. Quote

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 !! 5 Quote
kreed5120 Posted March 31, 2016 Report Posted March 31, 2016 Those apparel prices look great. I'd go and stock up if I wasn't in Vegas that weekend. 1 Quote

Balsy Posted March 31, 2016 Report Posted March 31, 2016 I hope I can make it to the spring game. It'll be the first in 4 years I haven't made it if I can't. The prices look outstanding. Quote

I thought Pittman was out? From Ohio.com: "Defensive lineman Se’Von Pittman was in street clothes Thursday. Pittman underwent shoulder surgery and is currently working on his rehab. Bowden said Pittman is expected to be back this fall, and they are hoping for bigger things from him." To be honest that doesn't sound like the best news or a great endorsement from Bowden. I hope he is trying to motivate him. Pittman obviously has a high ceiling, however after two years I don't think he has been as consistent as he will need to be for our defense to be really good next year. Unfortunately sounds like he is out until the summer at least. Edited April 1, 2016 by akron4ever Quote

Unfortunately sounds like he is out until the summer at least. 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. 54 minutes ago, akron4ever said: I 54 minutes ago, akron4ever said: Quote
