Scrimmage Insider: Defense plays mistake-free football, freshman QB is "electric"

The defense won the day over the offense in the first scrimmage of August camp. Full Story »

Ngata couldn't go...not good news. So disappointing when a guy gets bit by the injury bug and can't shake it. Hoping it was just precautionary.

Shocker that Ngata is out!! Poor guy is a walking medical encyclopedia. Hope he can give us quality snaps this year. Go tigers and get healthy

Mukuba is going to take someone’s position…

and I love it. We desperately need that alpha dog at Safety and I think we found one.

Man, I was hoping for some OL thoughts. Sounds like the D did what the D does, which is awesome. If they can hold their own against our D, well, I’d feel pretty good about that.

O line was hard to evaluate b/c the D line and defense as a whole was so good.... Mayes looked amazing, going to be great, o-line as whole looks much improved from last year.

Thanks! Call me crazy, but I haven’t even heard much buzz about Mayes this summer. That could be a scary good indicator of where we are in comparison to last year.

False starts and holds. But with 3 centers that could cause some false starts.

"freshman QB is 'electric' " ...


Aug 14, 2021, 7:48 PM

I take that as a great sign. I'm a little concerned about our depth there, and when Dabo heaps that kind of praise on a player, he's not blowing smoke.

Taylor ran off probably 3 30-45 yard runs today, he was awesome.

Where was Justin Ross. Held out since he has been in COVID protocol?

Re: TNET: Scrimmage Insider: Defense plays mistake-free football, freshman QB is "electric"

No idea why he was held out, but no he didn't play a snap today-- EJ looked great, as well as Stellato and D. Collins.

Seem to know a lot and good information. Just curious,

Yeah so it was a former players and their families event that Dabo does every year---bring in the alumni, serve smokin pig and watch a scrimmage in the Valley, except this year was moved to Poe.

He’s in something they referred to as an “acclimation period” or something like that. Walk before running is how I took it.

He's still in the acclimation period mandated by the NCAA. Swinney said he has one more practice until he can be in shells and then I imagine he can go full pads sometime next week as well.

A rule that they have a week after eligible before full practice. Not sure of particulars....

Good to have old man Jefferies in there mixing it up.

Surprise surprise, the defense dominated


Aug 14, 2021, 8:34 PM

I almost feel sorry for the O-line. They are still figuring things out and played against the best D-line in CFB. To win the opener and legitimately compete for a championship at the end, the O-line cannot be totally owned by good defenses.

I'd like an evaluation of (1) how DJ did and (2) how the secondary competed against the receivers.

Not worried at all about the RBs, D-line or LBs. Grace Raynor of The Athletic says she believes EJ and Justyn are clearly standing out as the two best WRs.

Bottom line for me: Gotta fix the O-line. I'm very concerned.

Re: Surprise surprise, the defense dominated


Aug 14, 2021, 9:12 PM

I am with you there. We will go as far as out O line takes us. We have enough talent to beat most ACC teams regardless, but to go to the level we desire, it starts with the lines and DBs.

Defenses usually do better in early practices. It's great news that another QB is looking good.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Would be even better news if DJ looked good


Aug 15, 2021, 10:32 AM

because if he's injured, our championship aspirations are done.

DJ was fine, nothing special and nothing bad--but for some reason he was running a lot with the Will Browns, Will Swinneys, etc-- didn't get a lot of run with the starting skill guys it seemed.

Secondary was good, Feed Davis hit Dacari Collins so hard one time, sounded like a car crash and almost started a fight. Competing hard and playing physically, which is what we need.
