Gators to Hire Ron Roberts as LB Coach, Co-Defensive Coordinator ?

Florida's 7th-year senior turning heads at fall camp

Florida is once again dealing with quarterback injuries, but a surprising member of the position room is stepping up during fall camp.

gatorswire.usatoday.com

Some high praise from Napier. He must be like 25 years old if he is 7 years removed from high school. It looks like he was never given much playing time to show what he has at his other stops. It wouldn't surprise me if either Brown or him look better than Miller if they get a shot to play this season. Some people think if we lose Mertz during the season though things could really go bad as in worse than 6-6 bad.

If we lose our whole team it could get dicey as well but I think our running game could maybe still keep it close in most games.

I think the DL improves this year - depth is there now. LBs will be slightly better but may look a lot better based on the DL play. Gotta hope the DBs are at least in the right spots under Raymond's 2nd year in the system. Evein if the DB play isn't elite you have to think we look better.

lol I'm getting hyped for the D though we gotta see it first of course.

Edit: the D's phase of the game I'm hoping for the most improvement and am anxious to see is the Safety-LB passing game. It's been so bad for like ever lol - if this part of the D gets it going it should be a really solid, if not elite.

Another quick WR look:

Fraziars 6-4 218 Jr - 5 for 60 yds, 12.0 Yds/Rec

Burke 6-4 199 rsSo - 6 for 103 yds, 17.2 Yds/Rec

Douglas 6-3 202 So - 10 for 175 yds, 17.5 Yds/Rec.

C.Bowman 6-0 201 So - 7 for 138 yds, 19.7 Yds/Rec (slot)

Pearsall 6-1 192 Sr - 33 for 661 yds, 20.0 Yds/Rec - (slot) Maxwell Watch List

K.Jackson 6-3 219 rsSo - 2 for 43 yds, 21.5 Yds/Rec

(Jackson & Burke caught the only TD's in the O&B game)

While the 3 newbee Fr speed merchants look to make a huge impact.
Wilson - 5-10 180 - NFL DB Father (slot + PR/KR)
Jean ---- 6-1 198 - EE
Mizell --- 6-2 167 - EE

Interesting as Utah fans were on their site saying not to be worried about our passing attack because only one WR had more than 10 catches last season.

🤣 Yes I look at other sites to see what they are saying about their team. Feel better now.

“Wife #1 told me last night she thinks the Utes are gonna kick ass.

Wife #2 disagreed and thought we we may have few holes in the O-line.

Wife #3 is concerned that all the focus on leaving the PAC-12 may distract the team’s preparation for Florida.

Wife #4 didn’t have our meatloaf and chocolate milk ready at precisely 6:00 p.m., so we were all a little cranky before we went to bed.

Does anybody have 25 extra tickets to the game?…I’m thinking about surprising the kids!”

Whittingham's report after their final Thursday scrimmage

A significant part of the (offense) improvement has come at the quarterback position, and while Whittingham is still not prepared to name the starter for the season opener, he did give insights on how Bryson Barnes and Nate Johnson are progressing.

“For the two spot, Bryson Barnes and Nate (Johnson) are on equal footing right now,” Whittingham said. “Nate’s closed the gap and they’re exactly in a dead heat at this point.”

As for Cam Rising?
“He’s progressing,” Whittingham said. “He’s progressing through practice.”
Although Rising hasn’t been able to compete without restrictions, the hope is still there to have him start against the Gators.

There is no way Rising plays…

And if he does, he’ll likely put himself at serious risk of being injured.

Curious to see what he does as a freshman. ASU doesn't seem to be able to keep any of their QBs lately.

They have Dillingham as their HC who was our OC (and the one calling the plays when we lost to Jacksonville state).... so not expecting much

Sounds like the ND transfer got hurt in camp but I wonder if he would have started Rashada regardless. What was the issue with him at FSU as far as play calling?

Just like the time a RB who committed to UF was ranked in the mid 250's, decomits then commits to Georgia and all of a sudden he's ranked 61st.

I guess they're using all their worries on their QB situation.

That is strange @Jeff from Jax hasn't been around for a while. I hope everything is alright with him.

Has Jeff really not had any activity since July 21? It is the week before the season…no way he wouldn’t be here…sadgator is trying to be positive but we seriously should all say a quick prayer…

Compugator was way too highbrow to be insta…

Sad’s infatuation with Compu is one of the more befuddling aspects of this board.

Man...trust me...that was a posting style that was definitely hard to forget.

He lived up to his handle.

One of the earliest posts from him that I recall was asking about how to code and format something on here for optimal posting.

It's still possible that he was simply nothing more than early AI that was being thrown at us as a test.

Admittedly, the dude’s posts were very hard to read, but if you had the time to actually study and absorb them, they were absolutely genius in design and content…sumbitch was the best poster ever…

He’s like one of the great master artists that will only be truly appreciated posthumously…

Think he ended up with like 7 or 8 TDs

I think the 8th was rush TD.

Is that other team totally outmanned - except for 1 TD that was just pitch and catch mostly. Just letting @instaGATOR know I point out when things were mostly easy on QBs. Reminded me of Brown's easy completions once he scrambled around on his highlight tape.

At least it’s not 15 yards over a wide open receiver in flat.
