Took some photos at this morning's football workouts down at the stadium...my first look at the actual team on the field. Here are a couple observations from this limited experience:
1) I expect us to be good on defense. We have depth just about everywhere, especially up front and at linebacker, and the depth is experienced. A little thin at corner at this point depth-wise, but the starters (Flores and Hunter) are as good a tandem as anyone has in the league right now IMO.
2) The offense will be more explosive. There's some depth at WR and our stable of RBs are as good as anyone we'll see. Need to develop some depth and get some guys healthy up front, and the starting QB role is going to be interesting throughout camp. The four guys who battled in the spring -- Sed Harris, Tristen Cooksey, Seth Hubbard and Daniel Tatman -- are going at it again in camp so we'll see what happens.
3) Our junior varsity is going to be pretty good this year. Talked with Coach Sartain and the staff is really impressed with the freshmen -- and we are at a point in the program where for one of the few times in the 10 years of the program we don't have to depend on a young freshman to step up and play varsity ball on Saturday just to fill a spot. Our freshmen this year will have the opportunity to play a nine-game JV schedule without the pressure of being forced onto the field too early on a Saturdays.
More thoughts from here as we go along.
