Not high on Stafford?


ND starts Wednesday, and I'm semi-excited.

I just hope some sort of development takes place.

Letting him field punts is a bad idea. He IS UGAs only chance at a good season. He needs to be healthy

Yeah...people have known that Knowshon was going to jump as early as possible since the day he stepped on campus. With his play, he's going to begetting some major coin in the 2009 Draft.
Word on the punt returns is that Knowshon begged Richt to let him field a few. Dude must be bored. Richt has heldhim out of practically every practice, for obvious reasons.

I'd just give the punt return duties to Asher Allen. He was just shy of the school record for KR return yards last year, so he's certainly got themoves. And I agree, Gunna, putting Knowshon back there is sniffing for disaster.

 

[cardo ln]

Who said anything about him staying?

Stafford is gonna take the Heisman the following year, duh.

DLo, I agree with puttin Asher back there, he's got enough elusiveness and speed to break too..{not to mention he's a beast back there in NCAA 08'}

Gunna, who you see winning the Heisman besides Knowshon?

 

[kiddin like jason]

Gunna, who you see winning the Heisman besides Knowshon?
You already No(el).

Thanks, Dre. Defense is going to be buns again.

 

[gunna get it]

Touchdown Timmy
and
Pat white are my early spring favorites.

And if Perriloux can get his **# on the field he could end up being the most valuable player in america (but no heisman).

I think he would have to kill Les Miles' wife to not see the field this year.

I know nobody cares

NOTRE DAME FIGHTING IRISH Head coach: Charlie Weis Last season: 3-9. Spring practice: March 26-April 19.

Notre Dame returns so many faces on offense that it can't help but do a better job of moving the ball this season. While the offense figures to get mostof the attention in the wake of last year's struggles, the Irish also have major holes to fill on the defensive line. Here's a look at the Irish asthey prepare for spring drills.

NOTRE DAME

Quarterback Jimmy Clausen will look to break out as a sophomore.


RETURNING STARTERS

Offense-6: QB Jimmy Clausen, T Paul Duncan, WR David Grimes, FB Asaph Schwapp, G Michael Turkovich, T Sam Young.
Defense-6: FS David Bruton, LB Maurice Crum, NT Pat Kuntz *, CB Terrail Lambert, OLB John Ryan, CB Darrin Walls.
Special teams-1: K Brandon Walker.
(NOTE: *-Kuntz isn't currently enrolled in school and his status for the fall is uncertain.)

EARLY ENROLLEES

DT Sean Cwynar (from high school), G Trevor Robinson (high school).

POSITIONS OF STRENGTH

Although the Irish lost two-time All-America safety Tom Zbikowski, they still appear to be in good shape in the secondary. Lambert andWalls return at cornerback, while Bruton looks like a star in the making at safety. James Aldridge, Armando Allen and Robert Hughes return attailback after splitting time at the position last year and combining for 1,105 yards.

HELP IS NEEDED

Notre Dame fans will have to cross their fingers that there are no injuries on the defensive line. Notre Dame has such a serious lack ofdepth up front that opposing teams could run wild on the Irish. Notre Dame returns three starters on the offensive line, but that's notnecessarily a good thing when you consider how poorly the Irish blocked last season. The departure of John Carlson leaves the Irish in dire need of a startingtight end.

KEEP AN EYE ON

CB Gary Gray: After enrolling early last year, Gray broke his right forearm in spring practice. Gray recovered in time to impress coaches and teammates onthe scout team last fall. Don't be surprised if he earns plenty of playing time this year as the third cornerback.

TE Mike Ragone: A suspension to Will Yeatman leaves Ragone as the only scholarship tight end participating in spring practice. The former four-star prospectcould use the opportunity to stake his claim as the Irish's starting tight end.

NG Ian Williams: He started two games as a true freshman last season and ranked sixth on the team with 45 tackles. Williams should emerge as NotreDame's top defensive lineman this fall.

HIS TIME IS NOW

The good news for OLB John Ryan is that he started 10 of 12 games for the Irish last season. The bad news is that the two he didn't start were the lasttwo, after he was passed on the depth chart by Brian Smith and Kerry Neal, who both played well as freshmen last season. Ryan must have a big performance thisspring if he wants to hold off challenges from Smith, Neal and some other promising underclassmen.

THE BUZZ

The biggest concerns facing the Irish involve both sides of the line of scrimmage. If Notre Dame doesn't get any better on the offensive line, it'stough to imagine the Irish having a winning season - even against a less-challenging schedule. Notre Dame also needs someone to step up on the defensive line,or Irish fans could discover this fall just how much the departed Trevor Laws meant to last season's team. This spring also should provide the first cluesas to what kind of role new Irish assistant and former Georgia Tech defensive coordinator Jon Tenuta will have while working alongside Notre Dame defensivecoordinator Corwin Brown.

some updates from gainesville:

johnny brantley has really been impressive and i think he'll be the #2 qb

percy will be shut down for the rest of spring, his heel is flaring up again

two top performing running backs have been rainey and brandon james, moody has been ok

offensive line has been dominant

joe haden has been great at cb

Hubbs.

Demetrice Morley - It's not a matter of can he; it's a matter of will he. After not hitting anyone since November 2006, will Morley still be aggressive? He certainly looks like his old self out there running around showing his range and speed, but will he play physical? Will he close to the line of scrimmage in the run game? It's the one remaining on-the-field question surrounding Morley's return to the Vols.

Ben Martin - For all the talk he sparked last year in August, the knee injury ended that chatter and left him as a non-factor on defense last fall. Martin ended up playing on a handful of defensive snaps. Now, Martin is 15 pounds heavier, physically stronger and is healthy. Can he generate the type of buzz he had last August? To do that, Martin will have to show improvement in using his hands and pad leverage to get off blocks. Tennessee has no depth at defensive end, and Martin is a player who must emerge this spring.

Walter Fisher - This time last year, Dan Williams and Demonte Bolden had done nothing in their careers, but they used spring practice to take a step forward and set the stage for their emergence last fall. Now, they are the clear-cut top two defensive tackles, but they need help and that help starts with Fisher. A year ago, Fisher had 27 tackles and two quarterback hurries, but he only had one tackle for lost yards and no sacks. Tennessee needs to have him to be more of a disruptor in the backfield and more consistent. Can he take the step starting today that Williams and Bolden took a year ago?

Ahmad Paige - Paige has been a blur since he got to campus. Everyone has raved about his speed and his ability to catch the ball. The problem has been the concern over whether or not he could take a hit. Paige was so thin that he has put on over 20 pounds and he is still the lightest receiver of the bunch at 180 pounds. This winter, Paige has again impressed everyone in one-on-one and seven-on-seven throwing sessions. Now the test is can he do it and take a hit.

Tauren Poole - Let's face it, Poole will have to absolutely explode this spring to be a real factor this fall given the bodies in front of him on the depth chart. But it has been a while since everyone has raved about a freshman before he has ever taken the practice field the way they have Poole. And when I say everyone, I mean coaches and strength coaches -- not just fellow players. Poole's focus and workout regimen have drawn great praise, but what can he do on the practice field when people are trying to tackle him? No one knows, but everyone including me wants to see it.

It goes without saying that one practice in full gear does not mean someone has arrived or established themselves, but with only 13 practices left and four of them this week, today starts a big stretch for a lot of players like Chase Nelson, Ellix Wilson, and others including the five mentioned above who will garner my attention this afternoon when they start playing football.

This *#@%% Ahmad is a !**$%+% Paper weight. Dude lights up 7 on 7s and ghost drills cus there's very lil physical play, but once the pads coem on, he'snon- existant.

all that talent in the form of a soaking wet Noodle

They in Full pads today in RedKnexville.

Sep. 6

I Cant @%%*@!# WAIT!
