Noles News 08.11.11: The Pads Come On

Florida State put on shoulder pads for the first time this Fall, and the results were mixed. Jimbo Fisher said that the offense, which had been very good, did not execute the passing game to his liking. He criticized the quarterback, pass blocking, and receivers. Most of the criticism went to the quarterbacks. Fisher said it was mostly his fault for putting the offense in some tough situations. He expected it to happen, but not to the extent that it did, and he rationalized that by saying it was mostly his fault for running those situations on the third day of camp. He said LT Datko and RT Sanders are a bit rusty, but it is "huge" that they are healthy. Fisher was mostly happy with the defense, but as a Saban disciple, he'll always be irate if the defense gives up any runs, which they did. Fisher said the offense hit some big runs. Saying he wouldn't tolerate mistakes, and clearly happy that he now has better depth at most positions than last season, Fisher said "fix it. fix it, or I'll get somebody else." Fisher said the staff focuses on not praising one side of the ball too much when a play made is really a result of the other side's mistake. Fisher went on and on about how great Lamarcus Joyner is as a player and a competitor. Fisher said how much he like's this team's effort and passion for the game. Overall, he wasn't that displeased.
Here is an excellent free gallery of the offensive line. Here is free gallery from Wednesday's practice.
Yesterday's player interviews were with Jared Haggins, Andrew Datko, Lamarcus Joyner and Telvin Smith. Haggins, and other players when asked about him confirmed what we said in the spring: he is extremely tough and very strong for his size. Haggins is the hardest-working receiver and everything he is doing indicates he will be the next Taiwan Easterling in the slot-- a dependable, tough, go-to receiver who is just a very good slot guy. Datko said he went from 267 as a freshman to 320. He was extremely impressed with the size of the new freshmen, and confirmed what we said on Monday (Josue Matias and Tre Jackson are the top game-ready freshmen). Free video of Lamarcus Joyner here. Free video of the Smith interview here. Telvin is hilarious.
FSU will host an open practice this Sunday at 4 p.m. I know everyone here will go and take a million photos and then send those photos to me.
Florida State Seminoles freshmen: Florida State Seminoles vets pleased by freshmen - OrlandoSentinel.com
Florida State's veteran Seminoles have been pleased by what they've seen so far from the incoming freshmen. The nation's top recruiting class is on display for the first time and it isn't disappointing. Several freshmen could see playing time this season.

Maryland Launches New Era Under Hands-On Edsall Wires

The more I delve into Air Force the more I like. It would be very simple to sit back and place the Falcons far lower, citing the fact that the defensive line is always an issue, the offense always has to replace key starters, there’s rarely ample proven depth — the list continues. You can always say that, actually. And you know what? Every year under Troy Calhoun, Air Force manages to do the following: plays steady, consistent football; never commits the sort of mistakes that lose games; controls the ball and clock; hurts teams through the air when given the opportunity; and offsets a thin defensive front with an always-strong back seven, especially in the secondary. In short, anything less than eight or nine wins is not in the cards. Why I think the Falcons deserves the higher ranking is in part thanks to a schedule that presents ample opportunities to show their worth: T.C.U., Navy, Notre Dame, San Diego State and Boise State are terrific teams, and I think Air Force can take three of those games. If not four, as only Boise State seems like a definite loss. What about the roster? Senior leadership abounds, at quarterback, up front, receiver, running back, linebacker and in the secondary. This seems to me like the best team of the Calhoun era, one that has the sort of talent and experience to really make noise on a national level in 2011. Again, Boise State seems like the only team Air Force cannot beat; they play the games for a reason, on the other hand. Is 11-1 in the cards? No. But is 10-2 in reach? Without a doubt. I think this will be the program’s best team in nearly 15 years.

2011 Season Preview: The Chief Executive Officer And The Texas Longhorns - SBNation.com
A look at the 2011 Texas Longhorns football team. Longhorn Football CEO Mack Brown shook up his staff after stock prices plummeted last fall. Will the changes bring excitement back to the company?
Summary and Projection Factors
Below is a small handful of projection and change factors most pertinent to the Football Outsiders' preseason projections you will find in the Football Outsiders Almanac 2011.
Four-Year F/+ Rk 11 Five-Year Recruiting Rk 3 TO Margin/Adj. TO Margin**** -12 / -1 Approx. Ret. Starters (Off. / Def.) 14 (8, 6) Yds/Pt Margin***** +3.4 If the coaching staff gels even halfway, signs point to Texas bouncing back like round ball. They recovered only 17 of 56 fumbles that took place in their games, a staggering 30.3 percent; in the previous five seasons, only five teams (2007 Wyoming, 2008 Florida, 2009 Florida, 2007 Western Michigan, 2007 Tennessee) recovered fewer than 30 percent of all fumbles. While it's not a guarantee that Texas will automatically fall on more bouncing balls in 2011 (Florida did, after all, land on the list in 2008 and 2009), odds are still pretty good. If they had recovered 50 percent of all fumbles, that would have made a staggering difference of almost plus-1 turnovers per game; in a season where they lost four games by eight points or less, that could have made a significant impact. It wouldn't have made them a truly "good" team, of course (nothing was saving that offense), but at least we'd be talking about their "incredibly disappointing Alamo Bowl season" right now.
So if Texas a) gets at least a small handful of immediate contributions from the incoming, highly-ranked recruiting class (particularly if star running back Malcolm Brown is ready from Day One), b) gets a jolt of energy from a young, hungry group of new assistants, and c) gets a normal number good bounces after a year in which they got none, then there's little reason why they can't be a Top 25 team again in 2011. The pieces are in place for that. But if the new management and the personnel do not immediately click, or, of course, if a lot of their four-star offensive players just simply aren't as good as their Rivals rankings suggest, then it is certainly feasible that improvement will be marginal.
When other talented teams (other Texas teams, for that matter) have a "down season," it means 9-3 and 'only' a Cotton Bowl (or, in other conferences, Outback Bowl or Chick-Fil-A Bowl) bid. Texas' 2010 fall was alarming in its magnitude, no matter what kind of bad coaching and bad breaks were at hand. And no matter how "re-energized" Mack Brown says he is now, there is no guarantee that Texas will simply rebound in 2011 like nothing happened. And because of that, any optimistic projection is full of risk. When you're thinking about the Big 12 this season, you're basically ranking the nine teams not named Texas, then throwing a dart against the wall.

- Bill Hicks (another dead hero)
From the
interview with Fisher he definitely wasn’t happy with the offense, and didn’t like the big runs the D gave up. Third day of practice, first time in pads. I wouldn’t read to much into it.
seems to me
that there is probably some truth to this, and then there is probably the head coach keeping his guys grounded and making sure that #5 ranking doesn’t get them feeling entitled.
Datko still wearing that shoulder brace
just a precaution, still something to worry about, or after 3 years of wearing it he doesn’t know how to play without it?
AC / rotator cuff injuries need extra protection even after surgeries
It’s mean to slightly limit his range of motion so that the shoulder doesn’t come under any odd torquing and risk further injuries.
What are you glorifying with your life?

Terminator: “Special teams is real special to me”.
When asked about what he thinks of the freshman running backs
“Devonta, hes real quick. He cuts quick…” What about JWJ? “Well we havent had pads on yet, but im…. definately gonna put my head on him and see what he got”.
Its whole different ball game when the pads come on? “Of course, you already know that. They doing all this running around, catching slants and stuff. When we get these pads on. Dont get a lil gator arm or whatever”.
I like how he was also excited talking about the veterans on the team.

Joyner said that Mike Harris...
was the best overall cover corner on the team. For him to say that in front of cameras lets me know that the rest of the team and starting cornerbacks (Rhodes & Reid) share the same sentiment and respect for what Harris brings to this team. I just don’t see many big plays against this secondary this year. Could this be the best/deepest overall secondary core group that FSU has ever had at one time???
I want to see *lots* of nickle with Harris against OU
- 4 INTs (tied with XR for most in ’10),
- 5 BU,
- 9 PD,
- 33 Solo Tackles,
- 8 Assisted Tackles,
- 2 FF
is ridiculous for someone who isn’t a starter.

So who is a better coach? Who is more likely to have better prepared their team for this year? I say Edsall. Has nothing to do with the fact that it is UM. To be honest UM is one of the teams that interest me most in the ACC,(besides FSU of course). Always have.

I'm pretty confident that Obrien will light them UM up in the opener
Obrien is a stud. UM basically has a bunch of converted players at CB except for McGee, who got mixed reviews last year. Ray Ray is a LB playing saftey and they don’t have any depth whatsoever at LB. All that to me equals some really bad pass defense and you don’t want really bad pass defense on the field against a guy like Obrien.

So I've heard, but I still don't see it for Maryland this year.
That defense will likely take a step back, and they lost the vast majority of their receiving yard targets from last year (I think the most, or second most, in the ACC according to a chart published here a few months ago).
I’m not saying that I think they’ll be terrible, but I’d be surprised if they end up having a similar season as last year.

The size of our team is awesome. Even the freshmen are physically imposing. O’Leary, JWJ, Freeman, Benjamin (my god!), Matias, Jackson, etc etc are all GAM. Not to mention our vets…Joyner is a freak. EJ is huge. CJ7 is a freak. Pryor looks like he put on good weight and he already was decleating people. I think this team is going to impress. We are a physcially imposing squad. That “You don’t want to play Florida State.” mentality is coming back this season.
Its soon to be referred to as FSU size.
Not a SEC size team.

What's the difference between a freak and a GAM?
Is one a prerequisite of the other? Mutually exclusive?
I'd say GAM = the expectation for a real stud
Freak = that extremely rare phenom.
When I hear "freak," I think
I think a freak is someone that moves incredibly well and easily for being such a GAM.
GAM’s are easy to find, they are all over. GAM that can MOVE, like Jerni, like Clowney, like Benny, those guys are freaks. The original freak, Kearse, was amazing because he entered school as a safety and became a DE by the time he left, as an example.
How many freaks do we have?
I suppose it depends on how exclusively you want to define freak. CJ7, JWJ, Los, LJ, Jernigan could all be considered.
by moneyNOLE24 on Aug 11, 2011 12:02 PM EDT up reply actions
Freak, Manimal, Beast, Stud, Monster
I use them more or less interchangeably. GAM means a big dude. Or someone who is otherwise imposing, even if not that big.
I hate how those are overused.

Agreed
SCAR is getting a lot of hype this year and are almost universally picked to win the SEC East. They have a lot of talent on both sides of the ball. Nationally, they’re the only team in the country that has the following:
- a QB who passed for for 3000+ yards in ’10,
- a RB who ran for 1000+ yards in ’10 and
- a WR with 1500+ receiving yards.
Championship!

IMO the biggest loss with Lewis is leadership
My original point about being well-coached is that OU’s success is because they can just plug-in other players with little or no drop-off.
Championship!
Experience matters.
I think the drop off at LB is going to be alot bigger than a little bit. He was the leading tackler for two or three of the past three years (cant remember but I think three).
The backup is a 4 star LB who hasnt ever played in a game. He is about to get the same shock we got last year.

Thoughts on Clemson
Originally I thought that we’d dominate Clemson b/c their new offense. But the more I heard about it, the more it appears that it’s an offense that can be installed quickly b/c it’s not complex. Now I think we win but it will be close.
Also, Clemson is young—half their roster is RS Frosh or true Frosh and many of them will be starting. They’ll be relying on young guys to make plays on D, so I’m hoping that Jimbo shows their D some things they’ve never seen before to keep them confused. According to STS Sammy Watkins is taking reps with the 1s and will return kicks on ST (maybe along with Bellamy).
Championship!
To me, Fisher sounded more down about the offense. Interview is on seminoles.com
I think him taking the blame or putting it on the coaches for the poor execution in pass O was just him trying to not harp on the things that went wrong, i.e., when all of the students fail is it their fault, the teacher’s fault, or a bit of both? Still just the third day and am glad we have a couple practice games before OU.
I’m going to guess that he put them in the most difficult situations possible just to measure where they are at and to show the kids that they haven’t arrived yet. You know, keep everyone hungry and humble. Our passing offense is something we all knew needed work. If they eventually look good against this defense, the team will be prepared to do great things.
Fisher builds'em up, then breaks'em down
just a ’break’em down’ day, I’m guessing.

He seems much more mature than last year. Totally different person, which should be expected.
This is what I was talking about being a potential problem for Bobby Hart

He’s high-waisted. Has to mechanically do more work because he has farther to bend down. Notice here’s halfway-ing it. Fixable problem.
What are you glorifying with your life?
maybe he's already started to stand up?
hopefully…

Yeah, I tried to reply to this earlier and lost my connection
a photograph is a slice of time. You have no idea what he looked like 1 second before or after this individual photo.
However, point taken…
I"m just happy that the kids are happy to be FSU players again
I couldn’t stand seeing the players during the lost years that almost seemed to regret coming to such a dysfunctional program.

3-4 gonna be a problem for us against OU and UM?
Typically we run at 3-4’s but things might be different with larger teams… still it’s not like they are the Bama or something, size-wise.

OU is hardly a larger team.
even in a 4-3 they are quite small

read Clem not OU (my bad) also meant bigger than the typical 3-4 teams we've played in the past.

OU's front 7 on D ave. 17lbs smaller per man than our front 7 on D and our OL ave. 8 lbs. larger than OU's
I say we try to open some holes for Freeman. That our broke some long runs yesterday, Fisher was most likely referring to Davonta since CT was out, JT was blueshirt, and Ty and JWJ are more like wrecking balls. Freeman is very fast to the hole and cuts quick. Breaking long ones is what he does. I say we go ball control and out muscle OU until they show they can stop us.
Lord, read my clarification... Wake and BYU were the primary 3-4's we played last year...and someone said BC did it a bit.

miami isn't that big
their LB’s are pretty small if my memory serves me correctly.

Why do we annihiliate 3-man fronts?
Because it allows 1 additional agile OL to get to the 2nd level of blocking. Can’t wait to see a non-passing down team line up with 3 DL.
What are you glorifying with your life?
could you imagine a power option with pryor at FB against a 3-4
it would be like playing NCAA on junior varsity level

What 3-man fronts have we faced?
Honest question, I don’t remember other than maybe BC giving a little of that look.

WVU '09, BYU '09, BYU '10, but mostly it's just a quote from Trickett.
What are you glorifying with your life?
Yeah, I know about the quote.
Just couldn’t remember if it’s been proven.

Wake and BC.... Thus my question above.
We have run straight at those teams but they were a bit smaller WAKe or a bit slower BYU. I’m a bit tenuous about a larger version of the same.
"Don't bite your friends" - DJ Lancerock
Yeah, I won't be convinced
until I see us annihilate a good 3-4. Although I think BYU had a pretty good defense in ’09.

right. agreed. However, we are much bigger on O than before I think if healthy...

Impressive to hear Telvin talk about how difficult it is to cover O'Learly
Also nice to hear Rashad is impressive
and to hear Clint talk about Benjamin snagging a ball out of the air that Clint intended to be a throw away.
To hear Jimbo talking about replacing guys who don’t get it done with ones who will, my guess is that he was talking about Beau, Rodney, Bert and the veteran crew.
hopefully.
Just too many years in the system not to be more polished at this point. Something is very wrong.

I think he just means in general there will be position battles at every position and that no one's job is safe.
I don’t really think Reliford or Smith have any reason to be concerned about their jobs at this point. They both had pretty solid finishes to last season. Reed on the other hand was way too inconsistent for a junior.
