In the post directly above that one there is talk of numerous DBs. Those are a lot of nickels and safeties. We need a shut down corner or two. I’d like another Monroe type who was good enough that he got bored most games because teams avoided throwing to his side.PeteRasche wrote: ↑Wed Apr 03, 2024 2:55 pmWait, wasn't that the position we thought was almost overloaded?nolasilver wrote: ↑Wed Apr 03, 2024 2:19 pm https://www.nola.com/sports/jon-sumrall ... ce=twitter
Update from camp. Briefly mentioned here, but apparently we are very thin/unproven at CB. The list for portal needs is now: tackle, edge rusher and corner

Re: Spring practice mega thread
I like the conditioning (playing fast) mentioned in that article. I remember Tommy Bowden saying/doing the same thing when he got here. Players were saying they had never run so much. And it showed on the field. Defenses were gasping for air in the 3rd Q. Hope the team can buy into his methods. Getting excited for our first game.

I remember one of the OL I believe said one of the BYU defenders asked him “how much do you run?” during the Liberty Bowl because they were gasping for air while we ran down the field.Marathon Wave wrote: ↑Wed Apr 03, 2024 3:28 pm I like the conditioning (playing fast) mentioned in that article.

Not really spring practice but definitely Sumrall related. Espn released a list of 30 coaches who will define the next decade of college football. Sumrall checks in at 15

Maddy has been producing some good content about spring practice in her podcast.
Sports Talk radio and most sports message boards are the killing fields of intellectual discourse.

??? Point being? They expect great things from him at Tulane. If that provides better access to ascending P2 greasy pole, great for SumrallPeteRasche wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2024 9:45 pmBut he checks in under "Who are the coaches most likely to make big, disruptive splashes at the next level ... once they get there?"tulaneoutlaw wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2024 6:07 pm Not really spring practice but definitely Sumrall related.

I'd like to see him make a "big, disruptive splash" by winning CFP games at Tulane. Then Tulane to make a "big, disruptive splash" by getting invited to a P4.Baywave1 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2024 10:12 am??? Point being? They expect great things from him at Tulane.

I'm not criticizing any judgment of Sumrall, I'm criticizing the article's typical bias of how a coach can't "matter" until he's coaching a P program.
Re: Spring practice mega thread
Got it. Thanks
Re: Spring practice mega thread
Skimming the scrimmages notes on Twitter it would def be a plus if Makhi has picked up a speed gear since it was clear that it was biggest area for improvement
Also I know it’s super early but wish we saw a bit more from Ty already.
It’s a long road to the first game tho

Re: Spring practice mega thread
I would like to see an extra step for Makhi. Hopefully he gained it (or will by the first game) I'm thinking Ty needs to learn the offense, my be slowing him down.

Interesting. The 13-point pick-6, eh? I guess Sumrall wants to stress ball safety to our QBs...

Would that be 17 points?
