Post-scrimmage Report Card

| | Comments (4) |

After an inconsistent scrimmage, only one thing is painfully obvious: There are going to be fun times and sad times, and they might come one after another. For every breakaway run, there was a tackle-for-loss. There were great individual performances and disappointments.
There were shocking surprises - HEEEEELLLLLLLOOOO DAMIEN THIGPEN! - and there were met expectations - HEEEEELLLLLLLOOOO Brian Price.
Over the next hour or so, I'll break down the performances by unit, with no delineation between first-, second- and third-strings.
Stay tuned...

Christian Ramirez was injured on the second play of the scrimmage and did not return. This guy no longer deserves to be #1 in the RB rotation, cant stay healthy. Franklin and Knox deserve the opportunity after what I saw tonite.

Jonathan Franklin deserves the number 1 spot, but I also was amazed at Thigpen. He was doing more with less than any other back out there. I hope they don't redshirt him. He needs to be on the field on September 5th.
