Fall Camp

Chop said:
Jake's blazing speed and playmaking skills could give opposing DCs nightmares, no doubt. It's not just Jake's speed though. Burt is just as fast (probably even faster on the track). My point is that Jake has to earn playing time just like anyone else. I think he will, although the competition at WR is very, very good.

We have tons of talent at the WR position. To me the best players should play, regardless of their tenure.

With regard to Burt, while he has always been a speed burner, his hands have been the issue. Job 1 is catching the ball, every ball.

One thing I have heard multiple times out of camp is we have players in backup roles at multiple positions that would have been starting in recent years.
THIS^^^^^is what we once had, havent had recently, and need moving forward to "be back".

And Casey Thompson starting to get praise...building confidence with staff....good sign.

I saw enough of Thompson in the Spring game to know that if Sam went down I would be very comfortable with him starting. He would struggle and have growing pains, but our season would not be totally lost with him.
 
Damn. That's guy is looking incredibly impressive. And just when all the other Big XII teams were breathing a sigh of relief that LJH didn't return for his Sr season.
 
Let's hear some opinions on where we think weaknesses or potential weaknesses on this team lie. (Feels great saying that right now because they are getting harder to pinpoint)
Opinions??
The thing we hear most often is youth on defense. Comments out of camp point to fastest, maybe most talented group we've had...though inexperienced.
Let's be specific..dline, oline, rbs, cornerbacks, safety, linebackers, special teams, QBs, wrs, tight ends, fans...all on the table. Let's hear it...
While we're at it....strengths??
Thanks

I am still concerned about punter. I read recently our starter hit 37, 37, 42, then shanked a 20. Inconsistency scares me

He was a freshman last year. Well known for consistency to improve each year for kickers and punters. What matters is the ceiling. The ceiling doesn’t change for the better, but the consistency does.
 
My biggest concerns in order:

LB
DL
TE

Team is going to greatly miss Beck at TE - leadership, blocking and key catch here and there.

Wholeheartedly agree on Beck, though I think we are generally getting stronger at that position.
Anybody know who is the frontrunner at this point to start there?
