Practice info

I've been to two practices and plan to go to this Saturday's scrimmage.  
Scary, but defense was ahead of offense at the last practice I attended.  However, saw a lot of positives out of the offense, too. Not sure what that says.  
Much rotation on the defensive line. Really like the three running backs that are in the mix and I thnk it is just that, a "mix" and that is what we are likely to see.
If you've ready any articles and much the opposite of what some folks thought and have said, Teddy Williamson is likely to be the starter.  Green can't be an every down player, but he is really quick.  Gilbert will be a really good player, too.  They bring three different styles that you have to prepare for.  
Receiving corp is excellent.  Mabon has looked really solid and I just absolutely love Lacanaria.  Really have seen great flashes out of Reece, the red-shirt Frosh, too.  
I think a lot of competition.  Lembo has mentioned a lot of nagging injuries, also.

Follow Ben Breiner on twitter he generally has some practice notes.

Thanks guys. Keep it coming. Great info.

Was able to attend the scrimmage yesterday afternoon.  Man, I just don't know if the defense has really improved or if the
offense is a bit inept.
Liked Milas and Neal both, a lot.  I know there's going to be a QB controversy forthcoming, sometime, but I do like them both.
Milas makes some really nice throws and his experience really helps him run the offense. He made an absolutely great "soft" pass to Mabon, I think, that he just dropped right into him.
Neal seems to make more bad choices right now just in reading the defense and maybe forcing a few things.  Should probably have been intercepted twice. However, the offense also seems to flow a better behind him. He also made a great throw for a touchdown early on.  He gets it there quick.
As I said earlier, I love this receiving corp and it was without Williams being in the mix.
Running back is solid too.  Williamson did not scrimmage and I don't recall James Gilbert having any carries either.  So, that gave an opportunity for Spencer Gilbert a redshirt freshman a chance to look awfully good, too.  No great traits, but a solid contributor in my opinion.  May never see the field in a game but it's nice to know he's there.
Defensively, some really good series and stops.  Some good hitting going on.  No particular standouts although I did see on the website where Lembo pointed out Ayers and Posley for there exceptional and exemplary work efforts.
Basically a solid practice.  It is amazing to see how organized these practices are and how meticulous Lembo is in his organization and setting up game conditions.  If you are in the area and have a chance to stop by, they are really interesting to watch.
 

 

I'm concerned the defense will be our Achilles heel yet again. Just don't have any play makers on that side and we just don't ever seem to be very stout. Is the juco rb Keith Anthony gone already.? He's not on the roster and has never been mentioned. The other walk ons are on the roster.

Good question.  I don't see him on either of the two rosters that I have from the three
practices that I've been to.
The first one should have been from the first night of practice, so I'm not sure he
was ever on there.  It could have been from last Tuesday's practice, but I don't 
think it was.  Pretty sure it was from the opening night practice.
