Plus if you notice the media says Kirkland participates after they leave

The continuing Daren Kirkland news is troubling to say the least

Don't see how it is troubling. Considering he goes in after the media leaves and practices with the team.

Smoke and mirrors....

Hopefully all of the holdouts are just percautionary.

 

[tn4elvis]

Warrior looks effortless in his back peddle.He really covers some real estate though.

 

[Power T-Rev]

We're straining guys. It's happening

 

[k-town_king]

Yes I think Kirkland is a go. Just gamesmanship.

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

Panic time with Kennedy. I think they are just managing his snaps. At least that's what I hope.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Seems like LB is shaping up to be a weak spot yet once again.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

"The quarterbacks and tailbacks spent a period focusing on zone-read handoffs."

Noooo

Whats the problem?

 

[FïreBall]

Based on?

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Based on?

We keep hearing about DK not participating, no JJ and not much about Ignont. What great info have we heard about Bituli? I could be wrong but it seems like we arent hearing the best news.

The good news is you're not hearing a lot of news about much of anything regarding specific players other than Trey Smith recently. Our LBs both inside and outside have talent and some depth. None of them are "sitting out" including Kirkland. He seems to be the only one having his reps managed and that is probably a very good thing.

I think why we do not get much information because it's related to the media getting shut out after a few minutes of practice. Some have mentioned that DKJr practices but they are managing him.. So I'm positively thinking that no news is good news.. Easy for the media to comment on some positions like QB, WRs etc.. But we haven't heard very much on the RBs it seems as well.. I dunno man..

Maybe You missed this: "As has been the case all week, Kirkland rejoined the practice once the individual periods were over and we were leaving the field."

 

[UT-Rex]

Love the black cleats, never won a championship without them

I love the black cleats too !

 

[RDU VOL#14]

Why shouldn’t we have a zone read look? It’s not going to be our bread and butter, but it’s certainly effective in the right situation.

It’s because Darrin Kirkland is going to be our QB. Can’t give anything to WV.

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

I'm guessing Coach Pruitt is obligated to give access for media for at least ten minutes. But, he doesn't have to give anything up during that period. Nothing important. And that's what we draw conclusions from. Real!y, we don't know jack. And that is by design.

 

[whodatvol]

Is Butler still enrolled? Thought he would be ready to make some noise this fall but not the case apparently

 

[WoodsmanVol]

I's gotta theoree 'bout that son of Pete. He fineed long ago wid that cademi stuff. Sin then he been drillin somewere wid uh GA. Kep outta site and all. Thes drama contynyoos til he git unleeshed on dem Gateer thins.

Lulz. Masterful smokescreen if true. You get a like, good sir.

and we'll face it during the season, so we at least need to rep against it in practice as well.

Thanks, Fingers. These practice reports are really fun to read.

Many seem to forget Kirkland is a young man with a photographic memory. That's not anecdotal, he really has been tested and confirmed to have this talent. He's more than ikely your defensive signal caller most of the time. He is THE guy on our defense more likely to get the right call and players aligned the way the coaches want. Methinks there is much more to the story about the way DKJr is being managed because he is going to be relied on so heavily this season is my bet. Don't forget CJP went out of his way to re-recruit DKJr to stick around when most everyone thought he was gone, there was a reason for that, not that I claim to know what it was/is, just putting my best guess out there.
