Spring Football game

[axg8750]

That was fun! My first Spring game and we all enjoyed it.

One thing to work on: too many dropped balls! Both QBs did a good job of getting the ball to the recievers and there were a lot of drops!

Figaro is GOOD!

Who made the hit on Larry Petis that was one hell of a hit. I know he was penalized for it but what a lick.

It was good to see Brian, Jake and Guy get those jerseys. I guess they couldn't get in contact with the other guys on the wall or they had previous commitments.

Heard on the radio that a group of ex-players delivered Orlando Thomas' to him at his home, Mason had something else going on, and Fenroy was at a workout in New York, presumedly trying to find a place to continue his playing career. Oh, and Stokley is in Denver.

Broadway looked great. Throws a beautiful ball, especially the deeper passes. We are all set at QB!

I don't know who hit him, but i was afraid that Petis wouldn't get up. But he popped right back up and i remember thinking "that guy is some kinda tough". Then I looked at the program as saw that he is 6'4" and 240 lbs. Seems like he beefed up since last year.

It was Rodney Gillis and it was a great hit

I posted my take on the game on Cajunredzone but my thoughts follow:

Gautier did not look real comfortable running the offense today as he made some bad decisions and throws. i think some of that had to do with him not running with Lawson, Peoples etc.. as well as pressing a bit as Broadway started to look really GOOD. I don't think that Gautier will lose the spot but it definitely makes you happy we have Broadway there in case something happens to Blaine. Also, I thought that Torrey Pierce was the best running back out there today. Harris looked good but didn't have much room to run while Pierce was able to bounce outside and get some really nice runs. Carter shows his speed and he will definitely help us out in the running game and on special teams.

Tig Barksdale is a monster and he forced several receivers to miss as he scared them into drops or tips that turned into interceptions. he is a physical presence in the secondary and I don't see him not starting unless he's hurt or not qualified. I also thought Jevante Watson looked really good and will give us great depth at CB. Gillis looked good at FS and Lawson was his same solid play making self. There were a lot of drops and turnovers and guys were generally rusty as is to be expected and its still a scrimmage but I saw a lot of athleticism out there to make me really excited about next year. I know we are replacing a lot of guys on defense but I think we have some solid guys to step in like Moseby, Burrowes, Watson and Barksdale.

Broadway had more time "a" because his line protected better and "b" the his d line got a good rush on Gautier.
