Rockne's Roundtable

Very good news. Slaughter might have to find a home at CB. Im sure they are feeling more and more comfortable with AColl at Safety, which is great. BJ is good to go at his CB spot, but Im happy that they are considering Slaughter at CB and not necessarily married to Wood. Granted, this move wouldnt have been prompted with Darby/Tee, but with what we have now, Slaughter unfortunaelt has to pick up the slack. If we're lucky, one of our incoming safties will make a great nickel/Motta replacement if necessary.

I feel bad for you guys if that's all they let you watch on defense. Do you they let you watch more than they let you record on video?

if kiel or golson isn't the starter opening day then i'm right all along in saying all this recruting ranking crap is just that, crap. hendrix, if not having a shot, i'll blame the coaches for not maximizing his skillset. rees is out of it, period.

I can't believe Rees is working with the 1st team offense...this better not last long or ND nation will be freaking out.

What the heck was the receiver drill in your video? The receivers loped down the field and tried to catch a lob ball, on the field side no less. If that was a drill to catch the ball at a peak point, then watch again. I would say that the average receiver in that drill lept about a mighty 6 inches off the ground. So much for leg lift #'s. Or, maybe so much for practice enthusiasm?

We're only given access to the first 30 min, which a good portion of it is stretch. But we'll get a better viewing opportunity from a video standpoint at the open practice on April 14.

Yes Irishwise, there wasn't much to it. It did not look like much of an effort from either qb or receiver. They could of put a defender on the receiver. Well, all I have to say is you play like you practice.

gautrp,

Those are just position drills at the start of practice. Plenty of matching up likely took place considering refs were on hand for a scrimmage.

If our other QB's cant beat out Rees to run a "Spread" offense that BK wants to run then we have serious issues. I like Tommy, but i just don't think he can run the spread offense like it needs to be to reach its full potential. I know this has been beat to death but if these other guys cant beat him out to run the spread then i will be surprised.
