Training Camp Central - Practice Report

[Brad]

Newcomers Reign The Day

Lots of new faces out on the practice fields both in uniform and in coaches gear. Great to see USF alums Marquel Blackwell, J.R. Reed and Ron Johnson in their new roles on the coaching staff. Blackwell is the Offensive Program Assistant, Reed is the Defensive Graduate Assistant and Ron Johnson is the Defensive Program Assistant. Most Bulls fans are familiar with Reed and Blackwell, Johnson is a little less known. He was a nose tackle for the Bulls and lettered from 1998-00.

I hope MG really feels that the O-Line will be good and he's not just being optimistic...

I personally feel this is the best line in terms of talent we've had in our brief history. Now they just need to get the snaps.

The excitement they have for lindsey lamar has me hoping he is the next great RB/speedster at USF

I'm not worried about the OL to tell you the truth. Think about it. They literally won't face a better DL in a game that they will have to face every practice. We have one of the nastiest DL's in the country as it is so I'm sure those boys can break in the youg talent pretty quick. I also feel that this is the most talented OL USF has ever seen.

talent is there on Oline - the concern is depth and chemistry. we dont have alot of flexibility in the rotation. 8 or 9 games into the season these guys will be tired and worn out probably. lets hope they can find some breathing room and stick it out.

theyre all working hard and hitting the gym and getting better every day, but so is FSU, RU, Pitt, WVA, and on and on. lets hope our bulls have done it better come game day!
