How do you expect Re-Al Mitchell to be used in various sub-packages? Is he strictly a Wildcat type gimmick guy right away? Or would their be appropriate times to use him a "change of pace" type QB for series' at a time that would bring a different element to the field that Kempt/Zeb would. Similar to how Lanning was used, but obviously with a much different skill set.
How much freedom does the QB have to audible at the line in this offense? None at all, or does it depend on who's back there?
For someone who doesn't watch the OL very often or know about that position group, what details do they need to improve to start opening some holes for Montgomery?
Will touch on this unless Jared wants to discuss in detail. Should have a written piece on this topic in the next week.
In the interest of time and since the news cycle is offense based, a brief response. I think Hummel is a very good player and will upgrade MLB should he beat out sutton. If he does not then that is good news about sutton. Spears and Harvey are very good in their roles and should remain solid in edge run supoort. I expect Rose and Vaughn to perhaps see time on special teams and a developing rotation role, bjt if they can be redshirted we all win.
The LB won't dictate the line rotation. The depth and talent on the d line will. Enyi, Lima, Johnson, Tongomoa, and Leo provide solid depth and upside on the interior. Benton, Lensing, Bailey with potential from Cordarrius Bailey and Vance on the edge does the same. Enyi and Leo can play and edge position as well. I suspect we will see some additional 4 man fronts just to get talent on the field. Espescially if one of the edge guys develops a consistent pressure profile.
Regardless, the d line prospects have transformed and fresh legs will be at a premium. I am hoping for a leap forward for Enyi and like the distuptiin a guy with his size and athleticism can cause. If Bailey adds another 5 pounds and continues to progress in discipline football IQ, then he is an all-big 12 talent. Put a ball hawk like Hummel over the top of that and running the ball will be difficult for opponents.
Love the defensive front 7 possibilities on this team.
Some analysis on the new football signings would be cool. Thought the recruiting pod with him was awesome!
Agree with all that except about vance and bailey i think the will be put on rotation on linebacker
What can we realistically expect out of TE's this eason?
Knowing how many good receivers we had last season, I still felt like Chase Allen, Seonbuchner, or etc should have gotten more targets. Into the flats, down the seam, pass protect-delayed routes. When opponents are keying so much on stopping Montgomery, or stopping Lazard/Butler, I thought we could take advantage. But clearly the coaches (and QB's) were more comfortable throwing away from TE's.
Similar situation this season, with DM and Kene out of the backfield. Butler, Eaton, Jones and others in the WR corps...

We can all agree Kempt throws a lower velocity ball compared to Park and Noland. However, with Kempt's timing and anticipation of throws, is he capable of throwing any pass in the playbook? Or are there throws the coaches shouldn't call for him, and that he shouldn't attempt to make?
I remember from his q and a with the media after his sixth year was confirmed he said that his shoulder injury definitely hurt him on his long ball accuracy and it was something that he wanted to improve on.
This is something I think is lost in the shuffle somewhat. Kempt wasn't the same after he came out of the game against OSU. I don't think he was totally right for the Liberty Bowl either. Shoulder injuries are tough on throwers. If he's healthy most of the year next year, we're cooking with fire.
Listen to the podcast that Jay does with Patrick Mayhorn. The name of the podcast is called, The Official Visit. Jay and Patrick love the option/wishbone offenses.
