To add to that, Roc looked exactly like the 5 star we recruited. A-Day or not, you don't make those moves with that balance even when no one is trying to tackle you. And like Simp said, Barber looked powerful and badass. I'll throw in a BIL comment or two. He was at a coaching clinic on the Plains for 3 days last week and the consensus was Jovon needs to drop about 10. Yeah again, it's A-Day but he looked a step slow and whole lot of meh.
JJ is the man. All the throws. All the touch and he can knock your ass down with it when he needs to. One thing I noticed was his deeper balls (I said deep balls) are very similar to Jason Campbell's. He's on target but needs some more air under it. White looked confident and sharp but hard to tell. Running with the 2's and he rarely threw anything more than 10 yards down field. I think at half he had 106 yards on 15 completions.
We're loooooaded with playmakers. Not enough balls to go around. Marcus Davis was outstanding, doing things I've never seen him do. Several times, he made the catch then broke some poor defender's ankles. Lot of YAC for MD. One prediction. By the time his career is over, we're going to be real glad we signed a guy named Myron Burton. Nuff said.
Defensively, the 1's kicked ass. We're big and deep at LB and in all seriousness, once Lawson and Lambert get back to 100%, we'll be able to run 10-11 guys across the front. Back to BIL. He talked to Lambert last week and he doing some running and said he's about 70% but should be good to go in the fall. The other thing was he got to talk for a good while to Rodney Garner told him he has one player with sure fire, first round NFL talent. Called him a "Silverback Gorilla" about 5 times. Strong, quick, mean, physical. Can do whatever he wants....when he wants to. Devaroe Lawrence (94). Said he's that good but can't coach the lazy out of him. Takes 4 out of 5 plays off. Reminds me...and this was just my impression...of Nick Fairley as junior. Once about every 3 games, Fairley would do something to make you go "Damn". And then disappear. Apparently, he figured out millions were on the line his senior year.
