Re: TNET: Clemson stadium scrimmage report

I dont know about that. The two years with DJ we had a lot BS floating but DJ seemed to need it. But besides the DJ talk of that period, I have always found Dabo to say alot if you listen to the small side comments.

One year he said at the end of an answer to a question about a WR..."yall never ask me about Renfrow. That kid can put his foot in the dirt and play with anyone." a few months later we were all quite aware of what that kid could do. We also found out later that in that same time frame McKenzie Alexander always asking Hunter to rep with him to work on his man coverage.

I have found that over the years if Dabo mentions a player on the tail end of a question about another player. You might want to pay attention.

Every year Swinney says after the first scrimmage that last years position group that needed the biggest improvement was the best. Great psychology to build up that group. Bottom line, Aug 31 we will find out.

HIgh comedy. Exactly, the groups and sometimes indiduals he pumps up are where the biggest holes are. We have one OL starter that he has pumped up for 4 years yet he has graded lower on PFF than any other lineman on the team, and nobody is even close. As a group, they let D lineman pour through the line of scrimmage and did little to no run blocking in the spring game. And now we're saying that the OL handled Woods and TJ Parker? Sure.
Talked to a longtime Dog fan this week. He said that they are a "C" at defensive tackle and an "A" at every other postition group. Teams ran effectively on them last year and he doesn't see any help on the way due to DT issues. Just hoping Cade has time to set his feet and we have a some sort of running game.
