🏈 SUTTLES: 04/01 Practice Report

[Bamabww]

Not much new from practice today.

Cooper Bateman remained with the wide receivers.

Geno Smith and Grant Hill remained absent from practice.

Kenyan Drake continued to split his time between running back and wide receiver.

Alphonse Taylor looked a little banged up and was limited but nothing serious.

Anthony Averett was with the defensive backs.

Left cornerback was Eddie Jackson, right cornerback was Tony Brown. Jabriel Washington and Ronnie Harrison were at safety, Hootie Jones was at Money and Maurice Smith was at Star.

Hootie Jones was at Money

I wonder about his speed at that position. I don't have any real concerns about how he'd do in run support, but covering a back? Covering a fifth receiver?

Is Marlon not as ready to play as we all thought? Not hearing much about him at all.

Personally, I'm thinking we'll have to go on come Saturday morning.

@TerryP

Que?

"more" to go on, maybe?

 

[TerryP]

@riz I'm going to blame my phone.

Now that I'm at my laptop...yes, more to go on.

So many kids in the secondary, Geno still not at practice, and being in the midst of spring camp makes me think we really aren't going to have a set rotation for the Money or Star position until fall.

The only thing I asked about last night was what was happening with the linebackers. We all know Denzel is still on the bike during practice. Reggie still running at his old spot and had SDH joining him yesterday. Holcombe and Foster were our "2's." Out of those last three, barring injury, someone is going to fall down the chart a bit. As highly regarded (for his football acumen) as KH is I'm beginning to suspect Foster sees another season on special teams most of the time.

We need someone to step up on the outside. Personally, I'd like the OLB's to be at least two deep even though we spend so much time outside of the base. Yesterday, in our base, it was Evans and Anderson followed by Lee and a walk-on (can't remember his name.)

Suttles didn't mention it, but if anyone wonders Morris was the back-up at QB.

@TerryP

Going to be a really interesting fall camp, isn't it? Something tells me we're going to see things we didn't expect come game 1.

On the other hand, if anything, the Badgers are predictable.

On the other hand, if anything, the Badgers are predictable.

With the Badgers, of 60-65 snaps for them offensively, I'd put the number around 45-50 being runs. VERY predictable!!
