Spring scrimmage

[Zammers]

Brief rundown. We looked a bit rusty, but that's to be expected. Jurell Thompson looks like he's going to be a good one. Dwight Smith had one really nice run. Hate to break it to you though but he went down on a cut back a few carries later and it didn't look good. I have other details, but won't be airing that here on the board. He left on crutches though. I will say this...he's not 218...he's 232. That is from his mouth. Who stepped it up from there....Aundre Dean! They let him carry the load for the better part of the day. He must have had 15 carries.

Broughton is a monster but we knew that. Maponga has really nice size and was bigger than I expected.

Ok I started the thread so those of you who were also there can run with it from here. I'll add more later when it marinates for a bit.

Josh Boyce had a long reception where he out ran everyone

Hate to see Smith go down, but the silver lining (if there ever is one to a guy getting hurt) is that we have an ample number of running backs that look pretty good. Wish we could have seen more of Waymond James. Dean looked like a beast!! He runs a bit upright and i know at times he was running over and past the third string defense but he looked equally as impressive against the starters.

 

[McFroggin]

Smith went down!? You've got to be kidding.

Yup. Had to have some assistance getting to the sideline and never returned to the game.

I thought Dalton looked really good.

 

[curt3301]

He never took his pads off and he didn't seem to be in agony or anything, so im hoping its just a sprain but who knows. The docs looked at him on the sidelines i tried to read there lips but i couldn't tell what they were saying.

 

[McFroggin]

I hope its not serious with Smith. Was he taken straight to the hospital or just sat-out the rest of the game?

 

[Frogenstein]

He sat out the rest of the game and left afterwords on crutches.

Outside of Smith's injury my only big downside was the way all our QBs tended to underthrow the deep passes...and it seemed like we ran a lot of them. Pachall did throw a real beauty early which resulted in a long touchdown...hit the receiver deep downfield slanting over the middle..very nice indeed.

One thing that stood out to me and someone I was sitting with was the pace of the scrimmage...very quick pace...they ran a lot of plays todays.

Broughton made a couple of big plays, totally whipping the tackles...in one case got a sack by pushing the tackle back into Dalton.

About Smith...very gimpy at the end of the scrimmage, but no ice pack I could see on a knee, so maybe just an ankle. Hopefully not the dreaded high ankle sprain.

 

[Frogenstein]

Unfortunately, it was the knee the trainers were working on and they did put ice on it.

Wasn't the scrimmage scheduled for 1 p.m.? Just wondering what time it actually started?

 

[Young and Horned]

He pushed the tackle back into Yogi, not Dalton. Not sure why the #15 QB was even getting reps. Great you walked on and all, but leave the PT to the big boys.

Knowing GP #15 more than likely earned it. :biggrin:

 

[Frogenstein]

Yes, they started the game at 12:50, 10 minutes early. Why, I don't know.

 

[HToady]

Dean won't be playing much safety!

He's not a walk on -- and looks like he got #2 PT ...would you then consider him a "big boy"

 

[Trelvis]

Anyone concerned with Ross Evans? He missed 2 FG's that I can recall.
