I ran into a player today via my job.
A couple things he told me:
*
Kyle Myers is our best DB in his opinion. That he plays with all kinds of injuries and just has a lot of grit and fight.
*He moved to TE last year, and that Telly really doesn’t coach. The GA does all the coaching. Telly was more of a motivator than coach.
*Hampton had no idea what he was doing (figures). Said that he would show them other team’s special teams plays and just be like I want y’all to do it like this. No real formal teaching or training. He said that if the players coached the special teams themselves — they would’ve been better than last year.
* Snyder had no idea what he was doing. He said he’s the kinda coach that moves up the ranks because he had a freak player (Clowney), but really isn’t a coach that will make you better.
* Super high on Laborn. Said that prior to the kickoff he got hurt on against VT - the coaches were telling him on the sidelines he was going to be the top back the rest of the game starting the next series. He’s progressing well from injury.
* That when you play on the team it’s hard to really tell how good the team is because the stuff you’re doing in practice works. He said nobody expected last season: coaches or players.
* High on Blackman. He feels like his height is going to help a lot, and that Blackman should have serious seasoning now.
*Coach O is a beast of a trainer.
*He said that we’re lucky Warren Thompson didn’t transfer because he has the ability to be a KB. He said he’s basically the next big time WR on deck.
*Talked about how decimated the OL was due to injury.
