A few notes about Argos after first week of fall practice.
Pee Wee was injured end of last season and had off season surgery to correct problems. He sat out spring practice rehabbing and word is he’s better than ever and this is his team.
LB Will Breland did not transfer and LB room is deepest and most experienced group on team. New DC was NFL LB and LB coach at Clemson who produced a few good LB.
Defense plans to play simpler, more aggressive style and will use 4 man fronts with fast DE to pressure QB. Maybe going back to early Argos sack and strip ball.
Looks like Shomari Mason is gone and CJ Wilson heads a 7 deep RB room. QB room is also 5-6 deep including ex Gator freshman Marcus Stokes.
Word also is that coach Nobles was shocked at low receiving yardage of RB and especially the TE position and that will definitely be changed for the better.
WR room has same coach Dickerson and plenty of opportunities for new players to step up and replace Durden’s production. Expect to see Leggett have a big year and maybe some new surprises at WR.
Kickers are carried over from last year and coach Nobles says he has plans for special teams, which were kind of conservative under Shinnick
Its been 100 degree heat index all week in Pensacola and next week is more of the same. Hope all coaches in GSC are smart about the heat to protect their players. Sure don’t want to start year off with sad heat exhaustion death that would wreck morale of team.
Penn Aire field has been returfed with new Astroturf as part of 56 million dollar upgrades to field house that will now have seating on both sides of all new basketball and volleyball courts. All the coaches offices and locker rooms will be gutted and rebuilt along with new trophy lobby. A new wing to medical building for all teams is starting construction at south end of football field.
Go Arrrgggooosss!!!
