Why do we keep hearing about how close Nicole Tepper is to certain players. It was tough on Nicole trading DJ Moore? It’s fugging weird.

Why?? This team has always been sold as a family environment.. From the owners to the fans.. Since Jerry this has always been marketed as a big family.. So a owner or his wife having their favorite players isn’t new… Jerry had dinner on Sunday’s with Smitty and Pep..

CJ Stroud LOVED Nicole. Said it a few times during interviews.

I think she is just the team mom.

Cool interview. Some notes

- Gives a little more detail on the visit with Mingo. Him and Morgan were just overall really impressed with how he generally carried himself and the presence he maintained in the conversation. Apparently Mingo likes to fish and ride horses. Maybe Luke and him can go fishing sometime, lol.

- Liked DJ Johnsons motor off the edge

- Likes the receiver room right now and sounds really impressed with Marshall in OTAs, said something about coaches coming in to him and being surprised at how good Marshall was (presumably OTAs is the first time any of the new staff has gotten on the field with them). Also mentions Shenault as "really coming on". 

- When the fact we didn't draft a TE's brought up, he brought up Tremble and how young he is, and how young he was coming out. Sounds like we might be planning to keep developing Tremble behind Hurst.

-Likes the UDFA class as a whole and thinks 5-6 might push for a roster spot. Talked a little bit about Eku Leota specifically

 

Thanks I hate doing summaries..

To add on, Fitt specifically mentioned wanting to have a bigger edge opposite Burns. More particularly to set the edge and be a presence in the run game day one.

They believe that DJ Johnson is the answer for that. Which makes sense and if he is a contributor day one in the run game, makes it a worthwhile pick.

We'll see if that comes to fruition under Evero's tutelage.

All sounds great, I'll believe the TMJ and Tremble when I see it though, sounds like typical spring coach/gm speak, they're never going to sit there and say "our players suck and we need better ones" and they're always going to talk up those guys that people know are in make or break seasons.

I fully expect the TMJ talk to continue all summer long too and through camp, that happens every year with that type of player, anyone remember David Gettis?  According to the staff and reporters, guy was a spring through summer monster who disappeared come Week 1.

    • I don’t know about floor in a team defense sense but we needed more.  The floor that I am familiar with is our QBs floor and it is so low that every other part of the team needs to be beefed up.     We tried our best to improve these things and I think we did improve the defense and we at least kept the offense  from sinking from no LT.  And ostensibly helped the receivers too.   So we kept a window open that we at least have a chance to improve our record by a game of two.  Which would probably give us the division.

    • Yeah. I am one of. those who think a JAG RB can eat with really good blocking. (Brooks is most important in my mind, in tbe passing game and that is what we’ll lose without him)  There are a lot of aspects to this. The big one that caused us to struggle is Young and his arm scared no one.  Best back, best blocking still cannot defeat a really good defense if they are not forced to respect the pass.  And teams did not.    But, a strong OL and running game Can get us over against weaker defenses.  And if Bryce still doesn’t scare anyone we can still win some games. Like last year  So it is really important to tend to that OL.   Get that straight and see if in his fourth year he can finally back defenses off. That is what if is all about this year to me, on the Bryce front.
