LMU camp report - 7/30/24
PostPosted:11 months 1 week ago
Good crowd. No where to sit. Got there during 1v1 and 7 on 7. Chose to watch the line play. NFL Network was there. ESPN with guest Mina Kimes was there. Todd Gurley was there watching as well.
One on ones - OLvDL (obstructed view)
Both Mathis and Hampton looked good in reps against 2nd team O
Avila is stout, very stout. Handled Fiske on the one rep I could see of Fiske.
K Dot is immovable against anyone - absolutely stoned everyone he faced.
Verse had a nice rep against 71 McClendon
Both Zach Thomas and Logan Bruss had some nice 1v1 reps ( That is not a typo on Bruss, lol) Didn’t get a good look at Fiske today.
11v11: a lot of rotating between 1s and 2s on both sides of the ball.
JG is not accurate deep/ outside the #s (except once, more on that in a bit). Passing game will be limited to middle of the field/short flats with him playing, generally.
Both Kyren and Corum had strong runs in duo and outside zone. Multiple good runs. But the D also had more than a few good run fits and stops.
TEs blocking in the smoke/bubble screen game is gonna be a problem for defenses. Kupp had a nice one with Parkinson out front
Interesting play. Trips right (Kupp, Puka, D Rob) then a swing pass to the back away (left). Smoke and mirrors.
Hunter Long motioned to a wham block and Agent 0 almost took his head off. Knocked him back a yard and a half. Short completion to the flat.
11v11 - Karty is money. 40,45,50. In a row. With lots of leg left. Then he hit 3 more 40-50. Hard to tell the exact distance but he has a big leg.
Second 11v11. Durant with a nice PBU on Kupp Then the run D got a stop for no gain. Lake and Curl at S. Then Curl/JJ + Lake at Star/Nickel-Will
Long with a nice catch/play on a wheel route against cover 1
Tre White and Durant the starters outside, Tre White broke on an intermediate out and almost got the pick. He looks really good.
Kyren and Corum are quick as hell.
Hoecht had a nice run stuff - ate Havs up. He is looking more and more like a quality DE/edge player.
Redzone: Lake makes the play of the day against Kupp on a wheel and go. Pbu at the goal line against about a 20yd route. Cover-1
JG hit Tutu for a long TD. Good pressure but Jimmy moved in the pocket and actually hit the deep shot outside the numbers, granted from that hash. Yeast in coverage
RZ: Staff to Puka on a lightning quick slant. TD
RZ: A nice inside run for Kyren, TD
All in all, O might have got the better of the D, but not by much. Stafford - with this OL, run game, WRs and TEs (they are gonna be big this season) - is primed to have a monster season. This offense can be scary good.
Overall, this is going to be a good football team. They have the potential to be great but we won’t know this right away me thinks. It will probably start really coming together (mostly for the D) after the early bye. I really wish I could go to a scrimmage against another team to get a better feel for the D and the reimagined OL against an enemy opponent and when it will certainly be more physical.
Forgot how hard it is to watch from a distance and take notes at the same time. lol.
