Who is impressing me at this point:

Marlin Lane
Alan Carson
Brian Randolph
Brendan Downs
Devrin Young
O-LIne

Tyler Bray threw the long pass to Da'Rick that couldn't be thrown any better.

Da'Rick is an NFL talent, just don't know about his effort.

Both quarterbacks need to play better, although being thin at receiver may be part of the problem.

Derrick Brodus needs to be looked at for starting at kicker.

J. Carter. Looks like he could prove to be more than just a fluke. Anyone know anything about DR leading the crowd trying to get him a scholarship? I heard that on the online broadcast.

Well Peterman didn't even get in from what I saw so I think the hype over him is a little pre-mature. Marlin Lane was most impressive to me, looks like that knee is finally back to 100 percent

The funny thing is that Bray and Da'Rick have to eat the hot dogs. Kicking game is very worrisome. Palardy and Broadus both missed easy FGs. Punts were under 40 yards.

Either way, it's nice to see a walk-on end up as a very serviceable backup receiver, or possibly a starter. We'll see...

You do know Peterman has a sprained finger and was out for the spring?

Hopefully, either one of them gets it together between now and then.. or Bullock comes in and is money!

The search for a kicking game should have started about mid=season last year. There surely is some former high school kicker in this state that can put a kick=off into the paint. I am devastated that DD hasn't adressed this problem. It his job, but I'm not sure my heart can stand another year of this kicking stupidity.

I Agree. Neal ran the ball pretty well, Cody Blanc showed some promise. I hope the lack of depth at WR and the defense being improved, is what is causing the 1st team offense to look so bland. I believe that we will have to go with RB by committee, with Marlin Lane being the closest thing we've got right now to being an every down back.

We should NEVER sign another kicker outside the state of Tenn. THere are PLENTY of good HS kickers in TN. THis is the second kicker from FL that has been a bust. How many games did Linclon lose due to missed or blocked FG's and XP's? THe last one was the Music City Bowl vs. NC (missed XP). ALso had 2 blocked FG's (if you call kicking the ball into your O-Lines rear side a block) against Bama that would have kept them from winning the NC.

M lane played against a second team defense... Neal played primarily the first team... take it from there

Lane was also playing with our second team offensive line, it works both ways. But lane was also the one actually hitting the holes, Neal was the one trying to bounce it outside every damn time. They both looked dangerous in the open field, with neal appearing a bit more dangerous
