First day of Pads....
....having multiple threads started about them.
Umbig11 has become like Sam Webb for me
No need to toe the P.R. line if your day job isn't based on access . . . .
Does he work with the team or something? So curious how he gets this info
He's a Facebook executive using their data gathering to produce his reports.
He's the world's greatest Counter Strike player.

Has anyone ever seen Umbig11 and Sam Webb typing up a post at the same? Think about, people!
other transfer always could. The only question is whether he'll be eligible to play in the fall. The spring game is just a practice. It's not a game as far as the rules are concerned..

But they still have to go through the process.

a delete function would be nice
Seconding Mantis here on JBB. If JBB can cut it at LT he is probably the top tackle on the roster, with Runyan currently running second. I'm hoping to hear some noise about Hudson soon; if Hudson is blowing up, he'll probably slot in at RT.
The small bit of question about Ruiz--is he ready to make the calls at center?--seems to be on its way to being answered. They think so. Our interior can be great this season. If they stay healthy and we can plug in decent guys outside, it's a huuuuuge step forward for the team.
Really interested to see how McCaffery battles Peters, too.
I think having (hopefuly) Patterson could help Ruiz, since he has the most experience out of our QBs. Speight was very good at reading schemes and making calls; Peters + Kugler...not so much.
I think I like a Ruiz/Patterson combo making reads and adjustments. We can't be predictable again. We need to have somebody keep D's on their toes so they can't correctly guess every play we're going to run. And I think Patterson could go a long way in making this happen.
If true, that certainly doesn’t hurt the center/QB exchange.
Is it asking to much to have hour by hour updates from umbig11 until kickoff against ND?
It is my opinion that the success or failure of the offense will ultimately come down to our tackle play. That is such a pivotal position. I was surprised to see JBB and Runyon as the two initial front-runners. I am not particularly pleased or displeased with this information, but just on the edge of my seat to see how this unfolds. Any updates from anyone on Newsome? These are the kind of morsels that whet the football appetite.
This is the opinion of everyone.
JBB has been on campus for 4 years. Can he improve? Sure. But last year he was an average B10 tackle on his best days, to think he could anchor a championship caliber line at LT one year later would be a pretty large improvement.
If our interior plays to their potential we only need average tackles. That being said, I think if JBB is starting in the fall it will be on the right side.
I wonder how much of this was confusion due to the plays and line calls. Based on some interviews with Warinner it sounds like his main focus is simplifying everything and teaching terminology. Makes me believe that maybe last year there was a lot of confusion among the OL.
FWIW, last year Moe Ways was running with the ones at this point in time. I think Harbaugh likes to give the vets the first shot to prove themselves.
I couldn't believe someone was posting about their kids first period

Ed Warinner, whoever the starting 5 are.
The line should look more sane than last year. Offensive line consistency is what I want, for goodness sake.
New guy here and I can already tell Umbig11 is going to be my new best friend this off season. Bring on the 14th!
at the #1 LT. Let's hope he steps it up this year.
