Hey @alpo. How are you doing, friend?
Just wanted to know some numbers man........
Offense(white)
#1 James Blackmon Fr. QB
#8 Nyqwan Murray Jr. WR
Defense(Garnet)
#1 Levonta Taylor So. CB
#8 Stanford Samuel III Fr. CB
Taylor should have a good year, seemed to be thinking too much last year causing him to be a step or 2 slow in making the play. He's put on some good muscle, hope it don't mess wit his speed. Not sure if he is the #1 CB opposite of TMac.

Vonta on the boundary and T-Mac playing the field side?
I'm glad to see Taylor fielding punts finally. I agree wholeheartedly, Taylor seemed to be thinking way too much on the field. If he gets more comfortable with what he's doing and able to just fly around like Derwin, I think he has a shot at being special.
I'm finally getting around to watching Alabama's spring game. They seem like their offense is going to be explosive as fukk.
I'm really impressed by their WR's.
We better not come out on some Ole Miss shyt. We better not come out on that "we'll adjust at halftime," shyt. I know that much.
On another note, I don't like how we do our spring game with the draft. It makes the game somewhat sloppy and overall less appealing. Just go 1's versus 1's and 2's on 2's and let's see what's up.
That's because Bama's DB's as a whole are ass. Don't get me wrong, Bama WR's are studs, but the way they were looking in the spring game is not a true indicator of what we'll see come September. I think FSU beats Bama quite easily if the O-Line comes to play. Jimbo needs to go ahead and start Baveon at center and tell Elerbe to kick rocks. I think people are in for a rude awakening with FSU this year. Our D-Line is downright nasty. Pugh seems like he's gonna bring some "dog" to that LB corp this year. And you already know what Derwin gone bring.
Vic wasn't playing around with them boys in the weight room this offseason either. Everyone has come back jacked. Jacques body has transformed and hopefully he runs like he's supposed to. Campbell is finally healthy so that should push the WR corp a lil bit. People are so used to seeing Bama look more physically imposing than their opponents, but I'd be shocked if when they hit the field that Bama dwarfs FSU. This is gonna look like an NFL game.
I'm not even sure. All the videos and pics I've seen have been of the offense.
Day One recap and notebook

Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher was pleased with the energy from his players on Day One of preseason camp.
The coach joked Tuesday evening that everyone looks good in shorts and new cleats, a reminder of just how early FSU is in the process of developing chemistry and continuity. He did, however, like how players practiced, citing good tempo as well as attentiveness as reasons why he's optimistic about this team.
Here are 10 observations from the first day of practice.
1. This team passes the eye test.
Like Fisher said, everyone looks good at this point in camp, but it's clear that FSU has players with prototypical size/athleticism at every position. The defensive tackles were loaded with one 300-pounder after another and watching the waves of defensive ends' long arms smack down tackling dummies was dizzying. There's a stable of fluid athletes at running back and there's plenty of imposing size among the wide receivers. We'll see how it all comes together this season, but there's no shortage of talent on the roster.
2. RB Jacques Patrick is maturing.
He's about five pounds heavier than last season, but he looks leaner. Patrick has added lean muscle and it shows in the way he carries himself. Patrick has light feet at 234 pounds and there's legitimate buzz about what he can do this year.
3. WR Auden Tate confident in receivers.
Tate laughed about being the most seasoned receiver on FSU's roster, but he said Tuesday that he's serious about his new leadership role. Tate said he's confident that he and Nyqwan Murraycan lead a group of young yet promising receivers.
4. Delvin Purifoy is with the defensive ends.
The junior is up to 260 pounds now, so Fisher is trying to see if he can bring value on the edge. Pruifoy has never regained his quickness after suffering a serious leg injury as a rookie, so the move to end appears to be an experiment to gauge whether he can grow into that role and provide depth.
5. DE Janarius Robinson is making strides.
His technique is markedly better from this time last year. The redshirt freshman seemed sure of himself during position drills and things appear to be clicking. Coach Brad Lawing made sure to praise Robinson after a particularly smooth rep.
6. S Derwin James took reps at punt returner.
James said he wasn't happy that he dropped one punt, but thinks he'll get the hang of it. The sophomore has made it clear that he thinks he can make a difference with the ball in his hands.
7. CB Levonta Taylor, WR Keith Gavin, WR D.J. Matthews, RB Zaquandre White and others also took reps fielding punts along with James.
8. Junior OL Derrick Kelly is going to get a legitimate shot to start at right tackle. "His body is changing, becoming harder, stronger....strong in his hands," Fisher said.
9. Fisher complimented freshman QB James Blackman's release. "He throws a great ball, throws the ball really pretty."
10. Fisher said the only injured player is OL Brady Scott, who broke his foot in a scooter accident.
Fisher also discussed expectations for the true freshmen, how the rookie quarterbacks looked and more in the video below.
