FSU Practice Report 08.26.10

Fisher led off with some fluff about Samford, which is actually a decent 1-AA team.
Andrew Carter with a nice quote from Fisher about Willie Haulstead who apparently is starting:
-Speaking of Reed, Fisher downplayed the fact that he's not starting. Fisher said, "It ain't nothing Bert's doing wrong, guys. Willie Haulstead is a big, good player. You've got to play ‘em all. I mean, you guys act like a guy gets beat out ... Josh Reed [at LSU] won the Biletnikoff and never started a game as a junior. Never started one game as a junior and won the Biletnikoff Award as a senior. And still caught 80 balls as a sophomore."
With how FSU recruits the position, I am rarely worried about the receivers. I still think 200 catches and 2600 yards from Bert Reed, Taiwan Easterling, Willie Haulstead and Rodney Smith is well within reach, no matter the order of depth chart.
Here's the quotes from the FSU press release, and my comments:
Fisher confirmed that junior receiver Taiwan Easterling has climbed ahead of sophomore Rodney Smith on the depth chart at the "Z" position. Easterling, who sat out the spring to play for the FSU baseball team, is second on the team with 65 career receptions. "He's playing good ball," said Fisher. "He's a veteran. You can move him around to different spots and different positions. He's doing a solid job."
I mentioned this might happen in this morning's preview, and have now added the update. No doubt Easterling will move around in three or four receiver packages. The top four is still some order of Reed, Easterling, Smith, and Haulstead.
FSU's defense has been raised for their significant improvement since spring practice, but Fisher said he was a bit concerned about the Seminoles' run defense. "The last two days in a row we ran the ball really good on the inside and knocked them out; had some really big plays coming out of there," he said. "They've got to tighten that up a little bit, but for the most part they've done really well. The secondary has been playing really well."
With only one upperclassman on the defensive line, the run defense is not going to be good this season. FSU needs it to be average.
G-Reid, Joyner figure in return plan It should come as no surprise that sophomore Greg Reid, who led the nation in punt return average last season, and freshman Lamarcus Joyner will be used extensively in the return game by special teams coach Eddie Gran. "They're both dynamic; probably two of the most explosive players with the ball in their hands that we have on the team," Fisher said. "That's the greatest space you're playing in, so why don't you want to have your best players?" Now imagine how much better the two instinctive return men might be with a healthy dose of front-line players blocking in front of them, which is a significant departure from last season. "You've got to be sound and we've got a lot of good mid-skill level guys that can run with big bodies that can block," Fisher said. "We ought to have a chance to be pretty good on that unit, I would think. Hopefully we don't have to use it a lot." Allowing Gran to choose from nearly the entire roster isn't exactly an upset for Fisher. "All of the good teams I've been on, everybody played," said Fisher. "The best special teams players I was ever around in my life (were LSU's) Michael Clayton and Justin Vincent. The year we won the national championship (Clayton) was a freshman and an1,100-yard rusher and leading tackler on special teams and MVP."
I happen to think Joyner might be a better kick returner than Reid. Still expect Reid to be the best punt return guy in the country.
Junior right guard starter David Spurlock took some contact work in practice for the first time in two weeks. "He didn't miss anything," Fisher said. "We didn't give him the whole practice but we gave him about three-quarters of it and he looked pretty good." Redshirt freshman Bryan Stork earned most of the repetitions in Spurlock's absence.
Good to see Spurlock is back as expected.

Well we do have one of the best rushing offenses in the country
If they can just be average and get us into good leverage situations I actually think we’re well suited to defend the pass.

Are you being serious with those years or what?
Even though I realize what you’re doing, to call those the years of our DL is incredibly misleading. RS sophomores are sophomores because they’ve only had one year of game experience. RS freshmen are freshman because they’ve had as much game experience as true freshmen. And even if you want to call rs sophomores as juniors, they’re still going up against seniors and senior+one years on the OL and other teams have seniors and senior+one years on the DL.

That's not true, they have a lot of talent,
last year they dealt with a lot of injuries. They were also very young, so combine that with the continuity problems and you will have an OL that is craptastic. I believe this year they are mostly healthy and have had a year to progress.

And with the amount of Cover-3 we'll be running
You have to assume we’ll have 8 in the box a lot, granted this is no way to live for an entire game (to be dominant you have to be able to stop the run with 7 men) but our run defense has to improve (we had 8 in the box a ton last year but with one of them being Mangum it was more like having 6 in the box).

I see the Bert/Willie thing to be that Bert will play more in the slot this season and Willie will do more work outside
Bert did a good job outside last season, but I think putting a guy like Willie out there is better match-up wise.

I agree.
Bert is a good WR, but I don’t think he plays down-field very well and I bet this is where Haulstead is making his mark. A bit small and gets pushed around. A much better Slot guy who can make tough catches.
"…You can't get enough Lonnie Pryors on your football team." -Eddie Gran
I've always thought Bert is more dynamic in the slot.
Bert in the slot changes alignments because you have to respect the WR screen. There aren’t that many safeties that can keep Bert from turning the corner so you have to spread your defense out and move your safety. Plus Bert seems to have better short speed then long speed. He’s as fast as they come at 20 yds but seems to be a just fast at 40 yds. IMHO
FSU football is the new case study for the outliners phenomon
With Bret inside
I think we could see more bubbles this year. We didnt see as many last year bur if he moves in then now we have speed. give him some open space and you will get 5+ yards on a bubble. Then what happens teams move up and the outside burns them on the slant. Also I though on the smash route the inside runs a streak/ flag vs the S I would think we would want a burner there. I dont know that much about the WR pos. but that would make since to me.

Jimbo seems fairly pleased with our WR of late
Is this comparable to preseason last year?

If we didn't have Reid and Joyner, I would agree with you.
What about Green on KR team. We are loaded with guys that could put big time return yardage.
FSU football is the new case study for the outliners phenomon
nope dont see it
We have 1 great returner, 1 could be the next big thing returner and a back up no one can complain about because we know he can get it done. Why would we need to put someone else back there when we have great talent already. Unless he can beat out one of the top 2 I dont see them bothering.
Why is the sky blue? Because, God Loves the Infantry
if they can block well
we could stick them in the middle of the field to recover squib kicks
I agree NTandT Dent is talented
at returning kicks, but Reid isn’t going anywhere and it seems that Joyner is next in line. Should be interesting though to see if eventually there is a battle between Dent and Joyner for that job.
"We didn't lose the game; we just ran out of time." - Vince Lombardi
Yeah grizz we know there are 2 returners
it just seems Reid has one locked up and Joyner has the other. However sometime throughout this year Dent and Joyner could be battling for that second spot. Sorry if my post wasn’t clear enough or if you were referring to another poster..
"We didn't lose the game; we just ran out of time." - Vince Lombardi
this may be wishful thinking...
but does anyone think that the running game has picked up (against the defense) because of Datko, and now Spurlock, returning?
Could be. But even the backups should be pretty good.

I'm surprised we didn't hear more about Orleus
Always thought he had a great frame to be an awesome G. Just massive. I was hoping he’d start rolling over people when he got the chance.
"…You can't get enough Lonnie Pryors on your football team." -Eddie Gran
I really have a hard time believing that since he's our backup right tackle now
He’s a a guard but I think is athletic enough to play tackle.
FSU football is the new case study for the outliners phenomon
I made absolutely no comment on his level of talent
And he’s not the backup tackle. He’s behind (an un-injured) Snider and most likely Hudson, who would slide out to tackle so we could hide a backup at a more discrete interior position. Bryan Stork got a lot of reps at tackle while Datko has been out, also.
FSU Defense 2010: Taking back 1st down.
I thought he was Sanders backup on the Right Side. Isn't Faircloth starting for Datko on the other side?
I thought Stork has been stuck at Guard throughout camp.
FSU football is the new case study for the outliners phenomon
I thought they run 2 groups at the same time
If they say the O-line as a whole I think they would be talking about at the groups. not just the starters. Also like said above the o-line is one of the best in the country. I think like said above if they can just be average then I think we win 3 more games that we would have lost last season. Also they are still learning the Def.
Why is the sky blue? Because, God Loves the Infantry
I agree
How many guys will Hudson not be able to handle one on one. McMahon excels at getting to the second level and Spurlock can be mauler. We are talking about a very good middle of the line. How many teams G/C combinations would you trade ours for?
FSU football is the new case study for the outliners phenomon
So if the offense has some off days like how they stated BC game last year or J State
Does that mean other teams not being far behind will try to pound the ball on the defense? Could this year’s linebackers be good enough to make up for the lack of Dline and sneak up and snuff out runs?
Individual battles v. fits
Last year the defense didn’t even have fits

Dont look into this so much.
The D-line is not going to be last years line. The Def seems to be working as a unit more this year than last where we had 4 people on Def and the rest were just there. Again This Def is running agesnt one of the best offensive minds in JF, the have to learn a total dif scheme and one of the best overall offences in the country. They are not getting destroyed out there so that means to me they are a lot better than last year and are going to be good this year. (I HOPE) And the best thing is Cuck the Clown and the x-DE coach (never learned his name) are not there so I think that raises the Def at least 20% from alst year.

Michael Clayton was a WR at lsu and Vincent was a back.
that is all
Dope Boy Fresh
Fisher talks fast
""All of the good teams I’ve been on, everybody played," said Fisher. “The best special teams players I was ever around in my life (were LSU’s) Michael Clayton and Justin Vincent. The year we won the national championship (Clayton) was a freshman and an1,100-yard rusher and leading tackler on special teams and MVP.”
In this quote, I believe his is talking about 2 players in the last sentence. One being MC, and " an1,100-yard rusher and leading tackler on special teams and MVP," which would be Vincent.
Also, Just a comment : Willie must be a better blocker for this move too. We are going to run the ball this year. Pound the rock.

Don't know if it's likely or not, but I'm sure if some coaches had concerns with a more predominant wildcat set and Bobby agreed, it wouldn't have been run much, if at all, the past few seasons.
Remember, there was no clear 2-4 on staff and by all accounts Fisher stuck to his role and didn’t try to incite some sort of mutiny.

Why talk about run defense?
With as tight-lipped about some things has Jimbo has been, what’s the rationale with talking about how the defense has been weak against the run? Is this a motivational tool? A ’don’t throw me in the briar patch" deal? Maybe Bud or someone has a theory…

My question is who isn't going to weak on run defense against us up the gut with Hudson, McMahon and Spurlock.
FSU football is the new case study for the outliners phenomon
I kind of thought the same thing
seems weird that he’s basically telling other teams “Hey, run it up the middle, we struggle there”.
G5 on kickoff returns
35th in the country in kickoff return average last season, 7th best freshman average.
26 attempts/25.54 ypa.
My gut reaction was to think that G5’s style isn’t really the sort of straightline, single cut style you need in the return game, but he was pretty darn good last year. If Joyner puts up similar numbers as G5’s freshman season, lookout.
Reid + space = TD threat.
I agree he’s BETTER at punts, but I don’t think any environment with the ball in G5’s hands is something opposing teams should be comfortable with. (The idea of other teams kicking off to G5’s side to avoid the alternative sounds fairly ludicrous.)
teams are going to have to kick it short

Yeah I remember the return
that set us up for the game winning drive against Maryland – think their punter screwed up and kept it in bounds.
I told my brother in law during the WVU game that “they’re going to puck up just once and Reid’s gonna burn them big time on the return”. Right after the half he owed me a beer!

He accelerates quickly, but also has incredible agility, while not being the fastest guy on the team. I think gr is similar.

I agree that hester accelerated quickly and had agility but if he wasnt the fastest on those Miami teams he had to be top two, just because on the field he was faster than anyone that was next to him

Insane cutting, acceleration, and balance…. and simply unrivaled vision.

Relive in awe
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIjErO91Dtc
I don’t think G5 or anyone else past, present or future will be able to duplicate what P. Warrick did on the college football field. Some are faster, but when it comes to making 80,000+ hold and being a serious home run threat on EVERY play…there ya go.
I caught a glimpse of what he did to a couple opposing DBs and been a FSU fan (and now alum) ever since.
Harvin and Bush were on that level IMO

They were beasts no doubt
But of the three Warrick still stands out to me. Bush and Harvin would beat you with speed first and they were their most dynamic in the open field. It seem’d like Warrick could shake you out of your jersey standing still. And it didn’t matter if he was on the sideline, LOS, endzone, playing tailback, WR, KR, PR, or even QB.
Of those three, which would you want on your dream team, all things equal, of course (i.e. Harvin w/o migranes)?
Man!!!!
Peter Warrick was soooo sick back in the day. I don’t know who’s highlight is better, Warrick’s or Dunn’s. If you go back and look at Dunn’s you’ll freak at what he was capable of doing. I definitely think that had he not been in trouble he would have won the Heisman. He was a VERY dynamic player. Super-elusive! I gotta see if they have one for Charlie Ward.
I think Greg has better top end speed then we think
Have you ever seen him caught from behind in stride? Either GA or at FSU. The guy played in a fast league in HS and seem to put it in another gear once he was in the open field. Just like Jerry Rice and Emmitt (Beginning of his career) some guys don’t run fast 40s but play like they run 4.2.

I dont think anyone is saying that he's not very fast
he’s just not outrun angles fast

I wonder how much the lack of talent on the return team had to do with that.
