Two Deep And Other Notes

UNT two-deep, other notes

Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the Mean Green's scrimmage on Friday outside of Giovanni Vizza's short outing was the fact that UNT released a two-deep depth chart. Here is where UNT stands as of Friday.

* -- out for spring

It was also interesting how much running UNT did after practice. The whole team had to run for each penalty committed in the scrimmage. It looked like a marathon at the end of practice. Head coach Todd Dodge said the Mean Green must cut down on the number of penalties it commits.

Jamel Jackson looks like he could be a dynamic force as a punt and kickoff return man, but he appears to have the nasty habit of being blasted at the end of his returns. He took a couple of really good licks on Friday. He reminds me a little of Ja'Mel Branch.

A couple of depth chart changes of note were JUCO transfer Kylee Hill starting at safety and AJ Penson moving ahead of Steve Warren at outside linebacker.

My oh my. Whatever happened to Jordan Scoggins? He is too talented an athlete not to make a top-two roster.

[EastTexasMG]

No Matt Tomlinson?

Well, then, have you thought that maybe he is NOT "too talented an athlete"???

Not from what I saw in high school. If that is the case, then Dodge laid a major egg with his recruitment.

Your right he's had a full year to transition from high school TE to D1 college DT he should be starting by now. Give the kid an Dodge a break he's going to be a red shirt freshman and is making a pretty big switch in positions if he's not playing by the end of the season or next spring then I can start to consider him to be a bust.

Practicality on message board...you must be new here

[Mean Green 93-98]

I have been surprised the way they have been indicating J.J. Johnson will be used at guard and not at center. I thought Johnson was supposed to be exceptional in the shotgun.

He is but the line depth is paper thin. Drake is an all conference center and they need Johnson to play. Interesting note was they have Marquis Sykes at start dend. That would be a positive development, he certainly has the size and athleticism.

I've been getting that a lot lately I've got start drink more I'm not used to thinking and rationalizing this much.

[Green59]

No Matt Tomlinson?

The week before spring break Matt injured his shoulder in practice. It appears he will be having surgery soon. Not sure on when he will be able to play.

[Dodge2007]

Damn, the OL has been devastated this spring. Coach Lefty must be pulling out hair BUT looking forward to having all the beef back in August.

No Marcus King yesterday either.

For all the players missing on the OL the ones there are doing a decent job. We saw the defense come a couple times with blitz packages and the OL picked them up very well. Most of the sacks occured after the QB had stepped up into the pocket and went past the 3 second mark holding the ball, otherwise known as a coverage sack.

Paper thin may in fact be an understatement.
