PurpleNation Posted May 3, 2023 Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 It's a zero sum game trying to judge yourself in spring practice. Is the defensive line that good or is the offensive line not as good. I think run blocking they got something cooking but 2 inexperienced tackles is always a concern at any level but Kedren and Gavin can both pass block. Overall the offense is gonna be good. I think Green is onto something with how is going to use Gavin coming out the back field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't help it, I suffer with a trust issues syndrome, from too many seasons of disappointments. However, I do trust your judgement, and remain positive always, hopeful in your predictions for 2024 and 2025. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the defense got the better of the offense today but that was without Kedren. I'm not gonna lie Green is doing some things offensively that I think will work this year. Menefee looked really good today. Gavin made a few runs. The pass protection was pretty good. Although I think Hammond probably would had been sacked on one play. The Lufkin secondary played lights out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you have tons of returning experience on offense . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pack13 Posted May 4, 2023 Report Share Posted May 4, 2023 Defense was really moving around. Line still worries me. They just don’t have fight in them. Also seeing them use 6 people to block 3 rushers was concerning. Didn’t see a lot of H back with Young not participating but I think it will help a lot in the season. Was disappointed Young didn’t play, I get it but always exciting to see a player like that. I thought the team speed wasn’t very impressive. Big hoop was a menace at linebacker. Dude looked the part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude looked the part I thought the pass blocking was a pleasant surprise. I don't have a problem with them using 6 to block. That's 4 eligible WRs that are very capable of getting open. Gonna probably see some max protection against real aggressive teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They ran a double screen that had he threw it to Gavin he probably scores. You can just do so much more with that h back. I'm really looking forward to it.

Dude looked the part Young doesn't need any carries this spring lol. I agree the defense was moving. Secondary was solid. My guy made some plays defensively. I thought he was clearly the best OLB on the day not including when they bumped Menefee to LB a few series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has Menefee put on some weight in the off-season? If so, he could be a big fast ILB, if he wasn't so good at Safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in college he will grow into a ILB with the way the game is played today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
