Remember you guys, a lot of us live vicariously through your reports. Insights please. Good job on last year's spring practice. The QB spot is especially important this year. I'm fervently hoping the injury situations don't impact the team like last season. Knocking on wood many times.

 

[bcvegaspt]

Don't forget to report on the kickers as well, @Bullmastiff 1 !!!

 

[RebelTomola]

like its been stated qb position is vitally important, would also like to know how our juco defensive guys are doing Roger Mann, Jacob Rominger, Demitrious Gibbs and Bruce Hester ( is Bruce Hester going to be practicing Wednesday for spring practice).

 

[drmontehorne_a_yahoo.com]

Wow. Spring practice is here! Can't wait for the reports for us TexRebs!

 

[Bullmastiff 1]

I will only be covering kickers this year...

 

[RebelinWA]

Anyone have any special requests on who they want me to watch closely? Besides the qb battle?

 

[rebelbuck]

D Line Rotation.

I want to know how Tatum, Iofeta, Jones and Holloway look after a RS year.

 

[mvvsmith]

Yep. Last years DB's should be improved more so over summer I know, but if you see glimmers of hope, shout out.

 

[Pistol Pete 1]

Bull & I would like to hear how the kickers are coming along!

 

[Rebelious1]

Do we have healthy receivers? Is Flowers moving back to db?

 

[rebelbuck]

Everyone should be good to go at WR outside of Woods who will probably drill but no contact.

I think Flowers moves back to DB due to #s at the WR spot.

 

[rebneck]

Looking forward to the reports. Will go a long ways towards putting the painful hoops season in the rearview.

 

[Sam-I-am]

Man I hate morning practices during the work week.

 

[rebelbuck]

Defense is going to essentially be rebuilt. Lots of new faces , so spring will be very important as a number of guys roles will expand on that side of the ball.

We have some experience at D-Tackle/End but need some guys to step up in getting to the passer. Hughes, Fao, Dehdastian provide a nice base at Tackle. End will be covered by Zepeda, Finau with Mann, Jones and Holloway looking to break through. Tatum and Iofeta will probably get some long looks as well as this group needs to find a way to get after the QB and become even better against the run (strides have been made in each season in this department).

At LB, Tau and MacAleenan are gone so who takes up the reps, Keyes, Laolagi, McCoy, Tate, Carr, Rominger will be getting plenty of reps. Also some walk-ons like O'Halloran, Carmona will see some time as camp progresses and until Hester, Katoanga join the mix in the summer.

Secondary, the big battles will be at Safety. Gibbs comes in to join Austrie, White, Baker and possibly Afalava back there. Corner will be competitive with Mouton, Jackson, Hough, Flowers? , Daniels, Boyce (walk on who saw time).
