Derrick Ansley Press Conference (8/27)

[TAF]

Copied this into a new thread so it won't be buried. A little coachspeak, but some interesting stuff as well.

There's one with Derrick Ansley as well...

 

[GAVol]

The talk about Henry To'o To'o's improvement is pretty exciting. He was pretty darned good last year.

On a side note, that has to be the most apostrophes I've ever used in a span of two words.

 

[Volfan76]

Seriously...who invited blake toppmeyer? Do you have to have any credentials at all to ask questions?

That's why I just type Toto, but I'm from Kentucky and can get away with it.

Henry T. or HT is more efficient.

Henry T. or HT is more efficient.

I kind of took it as a personal challenge.

I'm glad to hear Key is at his natural safety spot and not corner

Rob Lewis just ain’t getting this Raise Your Hand app!

Interesting tidbit about Banks. Glad he got his second chance with us.

It's funny how some people using Zoom figure out backgrounds and how to make eye contact with the camera. Others mute the video and come off like 80 year olds who can't figure out how to turn on the TV.

Austin Price is the only VQ guy to figure it out. Hyams using that early 90’s technology circa 1960’s.

I'm on an average of ten Zoom calls each week. I'm always surprised by how many young people keep the camera off. My understanding, based on memos from HR, is being on camera causes anxiety in some people. Weird part is in many of these groups it was the younger folks who don't turn on their cameras that lobbied to go from phone to video in the first place.

So how do you know what any 18yo True Freshman player’s natural position is ? Especially as the coaches who have seen him play about 1000x more than u have don’t know

 

[TNbuc2]

I used to do that too. Usually started with: "Hey, watch this".

 

[sjt18]

Sounds positive. Sounds like the experienced guys are showing up well.

Because he played it and played it well in high school. He's not a natural CB, but can play it. He would get better with coaching naturally, but he is by far a natural at safety

He'll get on the field more that way. Preferably you want your best 4 or 5 back there.
