Wow…a thread dedicated to whether or not I’m on staff. Ridiculous. I’ve said it multiple times but I’ll say it again. I am not a coach at the U. That said, I have been to practices when no one, including media is allowed, I have been on the sidelines for multiple games, I do have personal relationships with coaches and players and I love Utah football.
I would say over the course of 4-5 years I’ve been wrong maybe a couple of times…maybe. I will always put the program first and if there is info that could be considered detrimental I won’t share it. I am on 247 (since before the last BYU game) but don’t share a ton there. Rather I pass info along to the mods to do with what they choose. I love the program…I attend in person between 8-10 games a year typically.
I came on to post the other day but was kind of bummed with some of the reaction to Brewer. People bitching about Bentley and the expectations that came with him as if it were the same situation. He didn’t have a Spring with the guys and barely had a Summer. He lost the job to Rising in camp by the way and wasn’t supposed to be the starter. It was clear that Rising was the guy.
Brewer threw for like 10,000 yards in the big 12, started like 40 games in a P5 conference and was right next to Tyler with his team in the top 10 the final week or two that season but some act like he is a retread. QB play is key but so are the surrounding pieces…It’s clear he is the guy today and it will be a battle if Rising is fully healthy in the Fall. By far the best QB room we’ve ever had when camp opens in the Fall…by far.
Vele…yeah you’ve heard it before, has the best ball skills on the team IMO and will be a guy provided he’s healthy. We’ll bring in a few guys (one has already been locked up for the most part that you’ll be happy with but not here about for a while). You know about Covey and Enis and the tight ends. I’m very bullish on the O-line. Another source of angst on the board. We have 3 guys (min) that will play on Sunday’s on this roster up front. I won’t be wrong on that one either. The RB room is in great shape and Ricky makes that even better. DL looks great, DB’s look great and the backers are deep and talented to compliment the Beast in Lloyd.
We will be in the mix the next 4-5 years…have some chances to be special if things go our way and we stay healthy.
Other than that call your Crimson Club rep (assuming you put your money where your mouths are) and buy some hoops tickets. Let’s get those guys back to where we’re used to them being.
