zippy42 Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Did football camp start today? If you take a look over at gozips.com you would not find your answer. Can we get a roster or maybe a depth chart. This is the kind of crap that pisses me off. If you want people to come to your games at least keep your webiste updated. Damn send me the information and I will update it myself for free!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Z Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Al-Teric Balaam, the talented sophomore linebacker, will not be eligible to play this season Alex Allen is 100 percent. Those are my words, not the team doctor’s. After seeing him bust a 60-yard run off left tackle today, you’d probably agree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zff Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 I guess that will open the door for Mondo. I just can't wait to see him in the hole waiting for Wells of the Buckeyes...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regulars that we were all counting on just vanish for no apparent reason.So who are the 2 that didn't have the grades? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRasor0200 Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 11 feet is incorrect. What I meant is that he could touch up to 11 feet from a vertical jump. Half the NBA can't do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip-zip Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Wow. I used to think that a 3 to 4 foot vertical leap was good. But 11 feet? Wow :blink: (Obviously a typo).Since Brookhart is indicating that he will quickly whittle his QB choice down to two people, is anyone getting the strange feeling that Hakes will be the odd man out? If so, do you think he'll be moved to another position? Or, will he stand on the bench for two years waiting for his next chance to start? Not sure we can answer this question right now, but I had been hoping that he would emerge as the starter right now. Doesn't look like that's going to happen. Ever since I saw him practice before last season, I thought Alex Allen looked to be the best running back we had. If he is 100%, and stays that way, look for him to quickly get the bulk of the playing time in the backfield as the season progresses. Even though it's only the first practice, I still remain very, very, very concerned about our ability to generate offensive production this year. Hearing that the defensive front is getting good pressure (and we aren't known as a good pass rushing team), and that the WRs are unable to bail the QB out, is a bad sign. Sounds like our dilemma in the last couple of games of 2006 is continuing right into 2007. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckzip Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 What does anyone see on aris Reed? He was pretty highly ranked coming in here.He seemed to be the quick scat back type with jets. Is he still on the team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zipsrifle Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 Wow, that came up fast! Glad we're starting against Army this year....I'm not saying we'll pound on them, but at least these guys will be eased into the season. How do you guys feel about the potential of the O-line? Do we have the beginnings of a great MAC OL, or will we continue with mediocrity? For QB, seems to me that Jackson is #1 right now. Charlie could scramble, but he wasn't Smokin' Josh Cribbs. Which mold does Jackson fall into? Sounds like we'll have a solid running game again with Dennis and Alex, but we'll need somebody to step up a WR. I always hear great things about Jabari, but he is so inconsistent. I hope he steps up this year. I always hear how great an athlete this guy is, but never seems to dominate! I'm pumped...can't wait till Sept. 1st! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZipGrad93 Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 With Jackson's running ability, and a stable of great RB's, why not run an option-based offense? Why not fit the "system" to your talent? If you can't recruit the guys you need to play your "system," then change the system to match the talent you have!How about an offense like Nebraska's under Tommy Frazier? It sounds like the O-line can run block- might as well take advantage of it. We run a gimmick defense, so why not run a gimmick offense?Maybe I play too much videogame football, or something, but why wouldn't that work?ZipGrad93 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyzip84 Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 I always hear great things about Jabari, but he is so inconsistent. I hope he steps up this year. I always hear how great an athlete this guy is, but never seems to dominate!I agree Jabari has been up and down. When you see the guy being guarded, one on one, by most MAC DB's it's hard to imagine how any of them can match up with his size, strength and agility. Luke was pretty adept at throwing the "short" ball to Jabari, allowing him to gain position and use his size advantage. I wonder how long it might take for whichever of the youthful QB's who wins the staring job, to be able to pick up a nuance like that.

MRasor0200 Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 ZipGrad,It's not just your video game instincts. The coaches taught the fundamentals of the option play during the spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zipsrifle Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 Isn't the Option kinda a '90's fad? If it works, hell, use it. I remember how Ohio embrased the option, and they gave people FITS the first few years. Then, people figured out how to defend it and it quickly fell out of fashion. Does the O-Line look like it can run block? That would be something novel. I would love to see Akron smash it up the middle and get the yards when we need it.

skip-zip Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 I agree that it does seem as if this offense would be well suited for an option attack. Not only do we have a QB with running ability, and a deep stable of RBs, but it's also a good choice when you don't believe you have a very good offensive line. On the other hand, I wouldn't look for Brookhart to make a wholesale change in his offensive philosophy just because it fits his talent for this particular season.

Buckzip Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 I wouldn't mind seeing an option package. Maybe seeing the option 25-30% of the time. But I don't want a full time option offense. Not only do we not have quick athletic guards, but it won't help with recruiting. Recruits want to play in a pro style offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
