Guest CardinalClaw Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Does anyone know if the team is practicing in PUS or on the practice field? Maybe both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CardAmbassador Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Does anyone know if the team is practicing in PUS or on the practice field? Maybe both? Reading the blog it looks like they're just at PUS. Although I bet once they start scrimmaging the second or third teams might be out on the practice fields so they can get everyone working at once.

Guest CardAmbassador Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 The D Line started the first practice on the practice fields and then about 30 minutes into practice joined the rest of the team. I made this the practice thread so if anyone makes it out and you feel like sharing something about the experience do it here. If anyone goes out there tonight look for Oden again. Maybe he will be in a jersey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mahler Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I didn't get to stay for long since one of my boys got sick but I didn't notice Oden out there - but he could have been in a jersey and I didn't recognize him. Also I noticed Forney was practicing tonight with the offensive line and fullbacks, not in a green jersey at all! Coaches must have thought he looked really rusty last night. :whistle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LU4LIFE Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I did notice at tonight practice that Billy Chavis did not practice with the team I don't know if he got injured at yesterday's practice or what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LU1991 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I did not see Billy Chavis or Oden at tonight's practice.. Forney didn't take any snaps and stood on the sidelines throughout most of the practice. The entire team looks bigger than last year. Who was the guy on the sidelines in the a&m shirt and shorts? Can't wait to see them in pads . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CardinalClaw Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Billy was on the sidelines in shorts an a shirt. I don't know who the guy in the A&M cloths was but he needs to trade that stuff in for some LAMAR gear. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CardAmbassador Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Really appreciate the comments guys as I can't get out to any of the practices anymore. :( Hope Chavis is OK, we hear some news on Oden and the A&M shorts guy is another possible recruit to LU!!

Guest LU4LIFE Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Another thing that I notice at practice was that Kollin Kahler was booting the ball pretty good during the punting drills, that was encouraging to see after how he looked in the first practice.

coachacola Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Forney moved to tight end, could be a starter? Link: http://blog.beaumontenterprise.com/inthecards/2011/08/06/nederland-ex-forney-moves-to-tight-end/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Save Your Salad Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Forney moved to tight end, could be a starter? Link: http://blog.beaumontenterprise.com/inthecards/2011/08/06/nederland-ex-forney-moves-to-tight-end/ In my opinion that may work. he is big enough and he plays basketball as well which requires good hand/eye coordination. there was a reason he was offered a scholorship and it wasnt because they thought hed be a QB.

Link: http://blog.beaumontenterprise.com/inthecards/2011/08/06/nederland-ex-forney-moves-to-tight-end/ IMO this is a good move, but I am a little surprised they made this move as fast as they have seeing that Woodard did tell Forney that he would be able to compete for the QB position.

Link: http://blog.beaumontenterprise.com/inthecards/2011/08/06/nederland-ex-forney-moves-to-tight-end/ Call me a skeptic Coach but I don't see him beating out Billy Chavis, Kevin Davis or Jacob Hanna. I know Hanna personally, he is the fastest of the the three I believe and he is a beast. Loves contact! Chavis and Davis or pretty good themselves no doubt. Forney needs to move to defensive line in my opinion. He could wind up being 6'5" and 275-280 in a year or two and be very productive for LU at that position, if the Dawg backers who claim that he really does have a good attitude and work ethic (which is contrary to what was said during last years controversy). He did QB Big Ned to the playoffs again last year for what that is worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CardAmbassador Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 After seeing how rusty forney was and how well the other QBS were doing. Forney himself might have requested it. I said it from the beginning we didn't want Forney for his throwing abilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachacola Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 From reading the article is appears Woodard told Forney that if he wants to see any action on the field this year he better switch positions. How well can he catch the ball? Didn't Chavis drop a lot of balls last year so they didn't throw to him much? Forney wasn't getting much respect when Lamar signed him so maybe he can prove everybody wrong and make an impact this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coachacola Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 New "In The Cards" post: Quarterback Jeremy Johnson and linebacker Asim Hicks were treated and released from a local hospital for heat exhaustion after practice Saturday. The two-hour practice started at 9 a.m. and was the team’s first in daylight hours. The team also wore shoulder pads for the first time. Medics called to Lamar treated a few other players at the athletic complex for heat exhaustion. http://blog.beaumontenterprise.com/inthecards/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bigred360 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Billy Chavis was recruited by ATM out of Beaumont West Brook as an athlete because he played so many different positions in HS. I have no doubt he can catch the football. However, IMO I think Hanna is the best prospect at TE. I think Chavis would be better on defense. http://rivals.yahoo.com/tamu/football/recruiting/player-Billy-Chavis-42272 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big T Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Forney didn't play much at TE last year for the Dogs but the few times he did, mostly when they were in a wild dog formation, he looked pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chavis did have some dropped passes but from what I remember of last season the coaching staff didn't really throw it his way much the whole season and kept him in to help the O line block. got some CPU time. I agree, although I do remember a couple of dropped passes by Chavis he wan't entirely to blame, Bevil threw a few passes his way that were difficult to remember. Chavis was mainly used for blocking and if he stays at TE that will likely be the biggest way he contributes because I suspect the smaller slightly smaller but speedier Hannah would be the go to guy for any passing plays. I would like to see Chavis go to the defense as a LB if he is already going to be sharing time with Forney (still not sure about if he would get alot of playing time this year or not) and Hannah (I would expect him to get PT regardless of who the other TE is). Moving Chavis would allow you to use Forney as a blocking TE for the run game and Hannah as more of a blocker and a guy who can run a few post routes to get some yards in the air. How interesting would it be to see a play with two TE's (Forney and Hannah), the biggest section of our O line two wide out and the QB taking the snap from the shot gun. You have enough talent on the field at the point that the QB has to worry about everything. Short pass to the TE, deep passes to WR's run game with a blocker (larger TE) on the line of scrimmage or a QB keeper. I'm sure the coaches will make the best decision for our team. LETS GO CARDS!!

Guest LU4LIFE Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I like Chavis at TE he is big and strong and hard to bring down, and he could be utilized very well in certain situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
