UA1987 Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) On 7/27/2019 at 2:23 PM, 94zipgrad said: The way I understand the defense it is not a strict typical 3-4, depends on down and situation, Can be a 4-3 in some situations, Sampson & Ward can stand up or finger down. They moved Meeks back to defensive line, all state HS linebacker but big enough to play that down DE, not sure exactly, can’t wait to see I understand RB is a serious concern & QB & WR’s may be busy on Saturdays 94zipgrad - Very early, but any idea who will be starting where on the offensive line?

I have no idea at any position lol. I’m excited to see a depth chart. I hear rumors, that’s it. Different staff, different opinions on talent, some position changes, just opinion but seems like it’s not all about talent, seems like they weigh in effort, intelligence, leadership Dont know if it will bring victories but I like what I see and I’m a little prouder to be an alumni, let’s hope I’m not the only one & some people come to games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kallay may have finally broke thru to start? This would be a pretty big o-line. I'm sure others are in the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94zipgrad Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 that wasnt Corne, it was Sample & I don’t think those were all starters, what I’ve seen in clips is Muldowney is at right tackle a lot & Council moves back to guard, Brown still at Left tackle but it’s all just putting pieces together & a guess. If you rewatch clip it has there names. Corne was in classroom clip right at beginning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have increasing confidence he will get it right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZIp Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) I didn't go one by one down the list, but I believe all of our signees actually made it to campus. How refreshing! For sake of discussion: 1) What freshman will be the biggest contributor this year? Hayes-Patrick seems like an easy choice, but some of the DBs are starting off strong as well, like Cochran and McDonald and I believe there is some opportunity there. 2) What new member of the team will be the biggest contributor (including fresh, JUCO, transfer, etc)? 3) Returning player who takes the biggest step forward on offense and defense under the new coaching staff?

Ham Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 3) Returning player: Kato Some others have more room to grow, but I think Kato is ready to really turn some heads. It helps to have a head coach that understands the position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue & Gold Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 ABJ/GT: New offense, coaches, forcing quarterback Kato Nelson to adjust 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkwgriswold Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 1 hour ago, Blue & Gold said: ABJ/GT: New offense, coaches, forcing quarterback Kato Nelson to adjust Interesting tidbit from the end of the article that Morris says he's done for the season while Arth states no decision has been made. Arth quote- “We met today. We have not met with the doctors yet. Jonah has not seen a doctor for his knee, so there’s no decision being made,” he said. “It’s our hope we’re able to rehab him. He may miss a few more days, but hopefully we’ll get him back next week.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UA1987 Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 (edited) It seems that Keyondre White has fallen off the map at RB. Could be that his weight ballooned and his speed dropped. Seems like that could have been addressed during the off season. The Zips must be focusing on bringing this guy back to fulfill his potential. After Alce left, Akron needs White to step up (and away from the lasagne). Edited August 8, 2019 by UA1987 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went back and looked at all the clips that have been released & things I’ve seen around & again this is just from what I’ve seen with Kato presuming #1’s. Center Peterson, lg council, LT brown, the right side looks to be a competition, several different players have been in there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LZIp Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 PFF has Kato in at least the top 70. Plenty of opponents in 71-130. https://www.pff.com/news/college-pff-rankings-starting-quarterback-rankings-for-2019 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjim Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 Any updates from recent practices? I am looking for any news on the upcoming season. Starting to get excited! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjim Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 Looking at the roster, I see that the DL has added some good size, and I hope that they are equally talented. The DL was my serious concern a couple of months ago. I also looked at the list of seniors and red shirt seniors. Based on the performance from last year, it looks a little thin. I hope I am wrong. What other returning seniors had a good year last year beside the following: Lako, Featherstone, Brown, and Davis. Maybe add Ward to the list, and I am hoping Jest steps up. Please let us know what other players will provide senior leadership and results. Otherwise, we will be really counting on the underclassmen.

I would definitely, as you pointed out, add Ward to the list of senior leaders. Even if he's not a starter, his positive attitude is contagious. Though you've probably listed all of our senior leaders. I'm hoping Deltron Sands has a good senior season & goes out on top. I can't believe Alvin Davis is a senior. Time flies.

Blue & Gold Posted August 14, 2019 Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) ABJ: Finding a running game high on list of priorities for Zips 1. Bad news? Good news?: "After Tuesday's late afternoon practice, Arth said there was no leader in the clubhouse for the starting (RB) job..." 2. I love the cohesiveness the guys obviously have as a unit. 3. No mention of Peter Hayes-Patrick or Keyondre White in the article. 4. The bottom of the article states Jonah Morris did indeed have season-ending surgery and that Julian Hicks got nicked up yesterday. Perhaps a shoulder sprain.
