SHAMROCK69 Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 My young grandaughter and I went to the Trinity intrasquad scrimmage this morning. We had been there about 30 minutes, and just as they were about to start, she declared that she was hot and might pass out from the heat. I could not argue with her as I felt the same way. I don't know how the players could stand it. Well, we left to go get a couple of Icees. Anyway, was anyone else there. Please report how they looked. Strengths, weaknessess, etc. Did anyone really stand out? Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa T Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 I think the fans were hotter than the players. First and second teams looked really good. Nice passes and long runs by the offense and some nice hard hits on the defensive side. Have to confirm what Coach B has said, they are 2-3 deep at every position, hardly will loose a step from the 2-3 teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcjkbt Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 I'll second the opinion that they appear to be deep. I imagine that there is a lot of competition at practice - especially with 130 varsity players. I thought the #2 QB, Cameron Smith (I believe his name is) looked poised and threw the ball well. Will Stein - #1 QB- also looked good, I thought. Pretty solid effort all the way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentreRocks Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Not much of a drop off between the first and second strings on both sides of the ball. Both sides appear to have great speed. The more and more I watch Timmy Phillips, the more and more I think he will be the best running back to date to walk the halls of Floersh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xgrad-JAGdad Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 There is not a better lb duo in the state. DBs need reps, O-line some chemistry. D-line looks mean (6 guys fighting for 4 spots). Skill players looking good. I predict an above .500 season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biotech Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Has Wes completely recovered from his injuries? I'm assuming he played in the scrimmage yesterday. He has looked very good so far, more size and it appears has the same mobility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xgrad-JAGdad Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 ^ Replacing an all state center might be considered a concern. Plus, anytime you mesh a different five, there will be chemistry to be developed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa T Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I don't think that has never been a concern at Trinity, because like many have said on BGP, they just reload. Remember, only 2 new faces is being added with 3 returning lineman, so it's not totally a different 5 players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
