Quick report on Saturday Scrimmage
On the catch up a little, there's some stuff coming out of the scrimmage on Saturday at the Doyt, all drawn from coach's comments on bgsufalcons.com.
Basically, he thought the offense got the better of the play and the only thing that kept it from being a great offensive day was (wait for it) the offense's propensity to self-destruct with missed signals and false starts and a turnover late.
Let me know if that sounds familiar.
Coach said we played poorly on defense, especially against the run, even though in general the defense has been practicing better.
If you want something else to worry about, he says that none of the WRs have distanced themselves from the others during practice. Given that a couple seemed to start with a decent lead, that's kind of disappointing to hear. As Coach said, if we played next week, we'd be in trouble. He cited a couple of players who had made a couple nice plays but combined that with some missed signals.
He thought the O-line played very well today.
Finally, at RB, Anthon Samuel is the clear starter. Hopgood did not participate because they are bringing him along slowly (he is practicing) and Andre Givens has a minor injury and should practice again today or tomorrow.
But, we are very deep at RB, which is a good problem to have.
No other injury issues were mentioned.

Wonder how much we'll see Samuel teamed with Givens / Hopgood in the backfield.
I'm not particularly worried about the receivers yet. Shilz has Bayer as his security blanket and I think Joplin will be solid to compliment the speedy Stokes.
Hey Andy, thanks for reading. We'll definitely see multiple backs. You could still see Hopgood in the wildcat and they won't want to overwork Samuel with his size. Don't forget Pettigrew and Martin, too.
I believe Joplin and Stokes will both be good, which is why I was surprised that they hadn't set themselves apart.
Good point about them not separating themselves.
Shilz made it sound like most of the mistakes were mental, missed signals, that kind of thing.
Hopefully with a stable of backs Samuel and Hopgood can stay healthy.
Enjoy reading the site, I have been reading for awhile and decided to start commenting.
