-Nesbitt is almost a whole different player now that the ankle injury he played through last year is healed up. Words used include quicker, more decisive and better command of the offense. I don't think there's been a stronger QB in college football since Scott Frost graduated. At 215 lbs Nesbitt can hang clean 350 lbs (they stopped him so he wouldn't get injured). Scott Frost set the Nebraska position record with a 372 hang clean.
-I love the likely starting OL of Smith/Claytor, Uzzi, Bedford, Jackson and Barrick. Uzzi and Bedford are all-conference players and Jackson is a future AA. The offense is starting to take shape up front.
-LB Kyle Jackson is back and as good as ever. He was the team's best LB a year ago before the foot injury kept him out for the year. He's pushing Jefferson, although I doubt he'll unseat the Gladiator. Watts, Jefferson, Sylvester/Barnes and Egbuniwe/Munroe should round out the starters. Jeremiah Attachou is going to be one hell of a player. He's going to skip a redshirt-probably won't start but I think he'll play a major role on this team.
-Jamea Thomas will redshirt. Isaiah Johnson looks like he'll get the nod to start as a true freshman.
-Too Tall and Euclid Cummings have really turned the corner. The youth on the defense is scary but in a year or two when Paul Johnson has a top 20 defense to go along with his offense, there's no reason why GT won't be a national championship team.
-Told not to expect a miracle from the defense this year. I do believe they will be better coached and put in a position to be successful though.
-Brian Bohannon's comments yesterday were interesting in regards to the competition at B-back. It's apparent that Anthony Allen, Lucas Cox, Preston Lyons and Richard Watson are a formidable group. It will probably be a share by committee position. Bohannon mentioned the ability to bring in fresh players and wear an opposing defense down in the 4th quarter. Needless to say, we're just loaded here.
-Bill Bellichik stopped by practice on Thursday
-Scrimmage today-waiting for a report.
New commit Vad Lee from Hillside NC is the absolute perfect QB recruit to run CPJ's offense. He can run, throw and throw on the run. Of course he's going to have to beat Synjyn Days who Brian Bohannon says plays QB with a LB mentality. The competition to replace Nesbitt next year will be fierce. Tevin Washington, David Sims, Days and Lee will be something to watch next spring and fall. Lee's commitment also means that Airyn Willis will likely end up at WR. Lee opened his senior season last night with 302 yards passing and 5 TD.
