He doesn’t know more about football than Guerry, who has covered it all his adult life. Kelly has the platform and the lack of restrictions (he’s not part of a sports desk) to go into granular detail when he does talk football for the fan’s consumption. Alas, he has a whole other life.

I saw some pics from today’s practice. Looks like the linemen are wearing the padding on the helmets that the NFL is requiring. Was this also an NCAA requirement or are we just being smart about limiting head injuries during camp?

If it’s not mandated I’d imagine they’re in use all over the country.

Seems like a good idea. An article I read about the NFL mandate said they found most injuries in fall camp were to the heads of linemen.

I just read the sample article and it sounds like the receivers are improving. We need that to happen.

Here’s Guerry from yesterday. Hatcher got banged up (old story) and Devean Deal (same position) is impressing Fritz after coming back from injury. Remetich hurt his knee but is expected back in a week. The article is about the receivers.

There was time when pay sites where worth it, but in the recent years the common practice among staffs has been to restrict information and access to such am extent that it does t matter how talented or not the writer is the meat just isnt there.

I know it' still early in Camp but after reading listening on media and talking to other Greenies it looks like the two biggest question marks are still the OL and Secondary. LG Remetich who started five games in both his first and second year has had limited playing time because of injuries and starts off camp on crutches. His backup and insurance policy a transfer Pines reports in at over 350 LBs and is trying to get in playing shape. Another transfer Ray who started for Colo before a knee sent him to a backup roll is working #1 because last year's starter Thomas needs to heel from summer workouts. At RT Tre Tuggle who started 8 games as a true FR and won the starting job in Spring blew out his knee and missed the year and Spring practice .Don't know if he's 100% but now it looks like our 8 or 9 man rotation is not that solid. In the secondary I like our 3 startin CB's Canady Monroe and Robinson from DLS. We also look solid at FS with Brooks SS Clarke and NB from Duke Young but the only other DB with playing time is Dougles who played mostly ST's . From what I read he is the backup at CB, NB and SS. We are so thin we moved two seldom used WR's ( read into it what you want) to have enough bodies to practice.A couple of injuries to this unit could kill us.

I’d argue opposite in this case. Guerry is a stringer for the TP. He is far from full time. If he is engaged to write a Tulane story, it is usually a quarter of the Rivals content or even less.

Yes he will include the money quote in the TP like the Banks bulletin board comment about UAB being beneath Tulane. At same time, he will include full unedited coach and player interviews. 25 words of that might appear in TP, while 2000 or more show up in Rivals.

You want to know what makes Fritz and key players tick? Just read the complete transcripts daily.

He is the only person providing blanket coverage of Tulane and yes he is very knowledgeable and experienced. He has earned our support. He aims to make a living doing it.

It’s a (passionate) hobby for everyone else including FTW and many folks here

If Smith leaves just watch our coverage in free media decline to UNO proportions with no meaningful offsetting paid media.

Which is why Tulane needs to put out football news daily from August to the end of the year.

The receivers were moved because they are good athletes and we have enough of that on offense (let’s hope that turns into production). If one of those guys can turn into a Jordan Sullen or Jeff Sanchez, two O to D moves that worked out well over time, that would be great.

Guerry on the secondary. Bailey Despanie gets a mention at safety. We need some young guys to step up.

LG is right about Guerry. He's been covering football for a long time and puts a tremendous amount of time and effort into it. There is no real substitute for being out at practice and seeing it day in and day out. He's a real writer/reporter who has to write to the masses. I get the freedom to write whatever I want, whenever I want and don't have to worry about readership, subscriptions, etc.

There are some really good early reports on Presley and Huggins. Presley has looked very natural at corner, and Huggins has added some much needed strength which in turn has increased his speed over the past 7-8 months with Coach Hester.

Story on Shaadie (not Ashaad) Clayton. Some news about the OL. Some guys are missing but Caleb Thomas is expected back next week and yes, Trey Tuggle is practicing. Someone suggested he hadn’t been.

Garland Gillen has his own story about Clayton on Fox 8. Some practice video and Clayton’s notable local accent.

Fritz said at the start of camp that the scrimmages would be on the 13th and 20th.

None of those injuries are supposed to be serious and they should be back at practice next week.

Exactly why I won't make any bold prognostications of how we'll do this year. New coaches don't mean improvement or even necessarily maintaining status quo.
Hopefully they mean improvement or else might have just as well kept the old ones.

I noticed that, too. I've seen those on other college teams for a few years now. I'm thinking TU finally decided to pony up $$$ to help save a mind.
