The halftime race is the highligt of the day.

Suckage is at an all-time high so far.

Serious crotch grabbing by the riot squad guy

 

[JerseyShoreKnight]

Other one was off the page, because it was started this morning, and then jumped up after I started this one. More complaining in that one.
Gio hitting receivers in stride now, what will complainers do?

When you're following along from the south end of the South Island of New Zealand, you'll take any info you can get! Good to see (hear that) Gio coming around.

It's pretty wet out so it's tough to evaluate. Running game looks much better. A lot more downhill plays. From the limited action I've seen of Gio, he's much more aware in the pocket and his throws look pretty solid. Of some of his intermediate to deep throws, hit Blunt on the sideline on a deep comeback but he was out bounds, a nice out to Duwop, a deep one to Bailey who ran the wrong way because he couldn't find the ball, and a perfect pass down the seam to Griffin-Stewart.

 

[Knight Shift]

Defense ahead of offense, as expected.

glad someone else noticed, strange nervous habit by him

 

[hinson32]

Do any other teams have a no tackle spring game?

Yes, Ohio State.

 

[JerseyShoreKnight]

Defense is usually ahead of offense in these games. Can't believe the amount of people who thought a scrimmage would be as exciting as a game. Coaches only call basic plays, no huge passes and no exotic blitzes. Don't want to give any free film to other teams and they want players to get the fundamentals down. When my HS played, think we called the same four plays on offense and same four on defense in each scrimmage.

 

[Knight Shift]

How many in the crowd?

 

[ddsmugs]

Looking for play makers today....TE Griffen shows good hands nice to see. Snorewah looks like a quick twitch player.

 

[koleszar]

At least we make a real cool drone. That and we won't lose today.

Who kicked the Field Goal? Gavin Haggerty? That was a solid and centered shot.

We have a lot of drones in the Spring Game threads.

 

[PatrickRU92]

You watch the Penn State spring game?

Only if I was heavily sedated and dragged kicking and screaming in front of the TV and had my eyelids taped open

 

[Knight Shift]

That's 2 catches for Duwop!

 

[JerseyShoreKnight]

Duwop looks good. Expecting him to be a huge part of the passing game. Need more playmakers than just Grant and Harris in the WR corps this year.

 

[ArminRU]

Gio has got to hit that pass, jesus

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Hicks has to grab that ball.

 

[Knight Shift]

Gavin Haggerty has a good leg.

 

[koleszar]

Who is this Haggerty kid? That would have been our long last year and he made it by a lot.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Gio has got to hit that pass, jesus

Or maybe Hicks can leave his feet?

 

[JerseyShoreKnight]

Where did this Haggerty kid come from? He's got a good leg.

 

[Knight Shift]

Lighten up, Francis.

 

[Knight Shift]

Chuck Snorweah with the grab!

 

[JerseyShoreKnight]

Throwback. I was hoping we moved Snorweah back to RB.

 

[tico brown]

The no tackling makes this a total waste. Two hand touch. Not gonna learn a thing. Tackle the running backs at least.

Agreed but this might be football in 10-20 years.

 

[ddsmugs]

Snorewah oh my

This may be true but the starting offense can't seem to sustain a drive to score a TD.

 

[PatrickRU92]

Yeah so Bailey should not be returning punts.

 

[koleszar]

I hope that kid isn't returning kicks. Let's hope Grant stays healthy.

 

[ddsmugs]

Time to try someone else at catching punts

 

[Knight Shift]

This may be true but the starting offense can't seem to sustain a drive to score a TD.

Kind of hard to tell without tackling, no?

Part of that is the play calling. 2 short inside run plays and a quick out to the TE on 3rd down. Punt. They're opening it up a bit more now.

 

[Knight Shift]

Blunt with a great catch.

 

[Section124]

Gavin Is from SJR. A school that always produces great players for Rutgers. We need more from that school.

His kicking coach at SJR was Len Moore. A former Rutgers kicker.

 

[koleszar]

That outlet pass was Lavianoesque

 

[JerseyShoreKnight]

See. The coaches don't really care about needing a big play in the scrimmage. 3rd and long and they call a swing pass to Hicks. It's all about evaluation for them.

 

[ddsmugs]

Tell me again how we could not find any running plays for Hicks last year....like at the 3 yd line vs. Iowa.

 

[Knight Shift]

Mets win the challenge at 1B!
