when one of the best DEs in the B1G is having a great scrimmage, it doesn't necessarily mean anything about the OL. Sometimes it just means the defensive guy is that good. Defensive play has a jump on offensive play in the spring and early part of summer camp. The OL is doing some shuffling and I think will be pretty good when we kick off the season.
^^Thank you. Common sense occasionally speaks.
I like how you brought up the field goal blocks that no one else had.
we ARE B1G level opposition. Let it sink in.. We aren't that bad and the league isn't that good. We bowl every year. We win games. Let it sink it folks. Our guys aren't scrubs.. and haven't been for a while now.
I think Tsimis is gonna be the surprise on offense this year. hes quietly been good last season.Originally posted by Knight Shift:
There's another article on APP.com about the great days Agudosi (7 catches, 96 yards) and Tsimis (7 Catches for 82 yards) had today, but that would get turned around into how crappy our defensive secondary looks.Some of you folks need to look on the bright side of life once in a while.
Rutgers ROB: Pay special attention to the linked video clip from the Dead Poet's Society where (1:36)
What's he weighing now? Was a tad undersized last year, I thought.. though plenty of good DEs have been... in any case.. this is good to hear.. yet bad to hear.. (OL worries?)
Then what you're saying is that any kick over 50 is almost always blocked, 90% of the time blocked, blocked half the time, blocked 25% of the time, or hardly ever blocked. Pick hardly ever....
Actually, look again. While the OL directly in front of him are in various stages of "crouching" they are below his thigh and closer to his knee. But it you look at number 67 just to the right of the kicker in the pic, he is darn near straight and just to the side of him(67), looks like maybe Longa, our guy is off his feet and DH is being nearly stood up straight while being choke held. And then of course look at CA who is an inch or two taller and at full stretch. Ball is closer to 11 ft in the air.
I'd love some more detail on those kicking stats. But in the linked video, it says Kicking started off good and fell off in the end.
Agree. I think McDaniels will use him effectively and he'll be our Wayne Chrebet-type WR for the next couple years.Originally posted by jay_hq:

i think in his junior year he finally becomes a stud. guy has nice hands and seems to appear in important situations.
I can pretend for now that the D or QBs are just that good, but there is no making positive spin of the kicking stats...this has been a weak spot since Ito left and has cost us several crucial games (UNC and Ville in 2011 come to mind)....Originally posted by Knight Shift:
