Scrimmage Thoughts/Observations

[Boomer]

I must have been right in between you and Hudsheen#winnin. Your picture almost looks like you were in our seats.

That break did look awful though. Poor kid. My leg was crushed between a truck and trailer couple years back and if I would have tried to walk like he did, mine would have looked the same. Scary.

---OK I think you spell it Byrne (the high school dropout-actually finished in December and I guess can go to his Senior prom in coming weeks)----I hope we can RS him but he can split the 2 deep coverage very well---Some had him ranked as the 7th best player in Arkansas---What a great reception on the deep post!!!

Share your thoughts and observations with those of us unable to attend.

Also Wr Bradley Brown broke his Collar Bone , prayers to him and onleil parker, great guy, I used to work with him at lowes

I thought QB Brooks Haack looked great. He showed a good arm, good footwork, and made good decisions. He looks ready to backup Broadway and can play when needed. I was also impressed with #5 Pace at WR he has good hands. We know what our starters can do but these guys are our future, and our future looks bright.

Who are you referring to or is this some kind of inside joke?

No joke. Don't know if this guy was a player just not particpating but if he is a player, he is the most physically imposing player on the team..

I suspect that some 5'9" CBs might have a problem defending 6'5 Robinson and 6'7" Johnson.

All of the tight ends were outstanding. Was shocked to see one bolting down the middle of the field like a wide receiver. We could become known as TightEnd U if the coaches engage them in pass routes like they did yesterday. Big size, lots of speed and great hands. But it was Lance Pace that shocked me the most. Not sure how 6'4" defenders are going to cover this 5'9" receiver. What a find!

Is it September yet?

Haack was impressive. Composed in the pocket, good feet, accurate passing. One way or another, we're looking solid at the qb position this year

I was thinking the same thing. Johnson could really be a BEAST as he develops. Physically reminds me of slightly thinner Jimmy Graham. Then you'll have Sargent in the slot. And the Pace kid was very impressive! Think Brandon Stokely, Wes Welker. Our offense should be POTENT!!:

I agree...Landor looked ok but Haack showed great touch and pocket awareness. Haack is the heir apparent, unless Landor can learn to exploit his own athleticism. Landor looks like Broadway and Gauthier did before the light went off. If we can have both Haack and Landor as Juniors we could have a pretty potent one-two punch at the signal caller spot...one deadly accurate and the other who can make you look like your feet are stuck in cement.

Defense was a bit soft but didn't look as soft as last year. They bent but never broke too easy. The offense had to work for their points. Jalen Fields looks like a manimal. He looks (size wise) like he should be in the NFL already. With him at 100% we should see his full potential realized. Hopefully we can get Rodney Gillis back at the safety position, and the two incoming JUCO CB's (Trim and Tillman) turn into Moten 1A & 1B.

The TE you are referring to is a HS senior who enrolled in the Spring semester---Nick Byrne from Rogers Ark---I guess Hud will let him go to his Sr Prom!!!! It would be great if we could keep the RS on Byrne and the other TE coming in from Texas
