Saxy Quick Takes

Holy Hall & Oats that was a hard game to watch but it actually made me quite more interested in this team (in a good way).  

To get a few points out there:

-Armah is a specimen.  He's a defensive player at heart who figured out how to play fullback.  I think his potential and future hype is warranted.

-McCaffrey (#RunCMC) looks like the real deal.  Yeah, preseason, yadda yadda, ensalada, esplanada.  He is bringing life to the offense without Cam.  Both full power behind the new hogs is incendiary.  

-CAP looks quite improved.  His cuts are looking more like his Auburn days and I think CMC's ability has rubbed off on him.  Stewart-CMC-CAP could be lethal...because...

-Our RUN BLOCKING has looked VERY good this preseason.  This is something we have been wildly inconsistent at but this Moton fellow looks like a perfect infusion next to our stud interior.  Armah leading CMC to the right behind Turner and Moton can be pretty damn strong.

and now you salty scalawags...

-Who's hype I'm not quite buying yet: Any wide receiver.  Funchess had supposedly improved but he still looks like Funchess.  Byrd trended last week but was meh, Clay is probably going to trend now, and then maybe Duke again.  I hope Hurney watches the wire for safety and WR cuts.    

Action Items for Hurney:

-Keep an eye out for a safety, a backup QB, and a WR as cuts some in.  

And now, something entirely unrelated:

    • Down to Carolina and Washington for Ehlers. 
    • Who are your top three breakout candidates for next season?    My three: Jatavion Sanders- Simply put he is the best receiving TE we have had since Olsen. We all saw his potential over that three game stretch prior to his neck injury where he showed a real connection with Bryce. Good route runner with glue for hands, limited blocking upside but he gives solid effort. With Tremble already being hurt I don’t see a reason why he already isn’t our starter and clear future at TE. Trevin Wallace- For a developmental LB forced into a starting role last year he  exceeded expectations. LB is one of the hardest positions to adjust to from college, and for a prospect who was widely regarded as very raw, surprisingly he was solid in coverage and only had an 11.9% missed tackle rate. He was overly aggressive consistently, and needs to work on his play recognition. But he is set up to be our best LB next season, and likely starter for years ahead. Even barring reaching his upside, his floor was clearly a lot higher than draft pundits assumed(Morgan can scout LBS). Cade Mayes- I am hopeful Cade wins the starting job at C this season. He may have been our most improved player last season, he looked like an above average starting C after he took over for an injured Corbett. He allowed 0 sacks on 327 pass block snaps. Corbett can not stay healthy, and at this stage in his career Mayes is objectively the better player. Mayes is only 26 and gives us the potential of stability at C, something we have never had since Ryan Kalil retired. Corbett slots in as a great backup C/Guard, and Cade continues to develop and gain more chemistry with Bryce and our stud duo of Hunt/Lewis.
    • Have to pair them like this for it to work, imo. Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Walker Ghosty - Chatfield    I'd prefer something different but that's probably what we end up with unless Ghost is traded to one of the 17 teams not on his MNTC.
