A few years ago when Trinity lost big to St. X in the regular season then started playing guys both ways and beat X in the title game, all I heard was how sad it was that Trinity, with so many players, had to play guys both ways.... Kinda funny how the wind changes. Just sayin.

That's good stuff. Please give us the time when you know what it will be. I also heard that UK really likes Walker as a Slot Receiver as well. Evidently he performed well for them at this position at a couple of camps. Slot is intriguing if you ask me.

Walker is the only one slated to go both right now. They have had him a Strong Safety and more recently playing in a Bandit/ Monster roll closer to the line of scrimmage. He was a freaky good middle linebacker during grade school and has a knack for getting his nose on the ball. Can read offenses and hard to beat to the ball.

 

I doubt you will see him much early on except in Nickel on Third Downs. Have to see where it goes from there.

May see him more than you think.

Anyone wondering about Charles Walker's ability to play defense ought to go back and review the play he made last year against Trinity when he was back to return a punt. T faked the put with a direct snap to Dawkins(?) I believe on about a 4th and 13 situation. Charles read the play from his punt return position and sprinted about 25 - 30yards to knock the ball carrier out of bounds about a yard short of a first down. The fake punt by T faked out everyone in the stadium exxept Charles. As the play developed it seemed as if it would be a first down for certain, possibly a big play for a TD. His cover speed to the ball is incredible!

I love him at Bandit !! What a weapon. I think by and large X linebackers will be very tough. McCormick in the middle played plenty last year-I personally thought he was right there with Clyburn talent wise. Nobody is counting him as a "returning starter" but in all-in-all he was and is returning as a starter. Caffee is tougher than nails and Parker and Foy both go 6'2" to 6'3" -200#'s or so and run like deer. Going to be very hard to run against X

I think Foy may play more de than lb.

Defense looks good so far.

Walker with a nice pick 6. Came over from his safety spot and got ball at top spot made a couple people miss and that was all she wrote.

Bowling Green's Coach Wallace said Nacarius Fant would see significant time in the defensive backfield this year. Looks like it might be a trend of playing your best offensive weapon on defense. I think, if they are only used in certain situations, it shouldn't take away from their offensive output.

I heard the Tigers had a very good week of practice!

Excited for Friday.

I'm kind of torn in the play selection. It seems 65% pass 35% run. It's great to spread the ball around, guess I'm a homer and I'm used to glaser ball.

Who stood out during the scrimmage? Who struggled during the scrimmage? We're there any surprises one way or the other?
