Notes

Live Team Notes

Vibes: Not sure what we're doing here or why

Off a tire fire LY, OC fired, QB benched. Ugly

QB Jones played LY as Fr but not well. Is he #1?

RB are small and below avg. Anyone emerge?

WR added 2 prod FCS (Cheers + Doss) could help

OL surprisingly good on paper, 3 starters, depth

DE Dylan Labarbera a monster, why still here?

DL unit could be Avg, DT's have size, LB are ?

DBs have 2 good Safeties, 3 exp'd CBs.
