How do you reasonably avoid this? Computer appears to blitz nickel. I throw to voided space. Computer peels back and plays ball. Can DBs also bluff blitz? Play art afterwards showers a straight up Cover 2 fwiw

Fewer participants in the race than what we’ve become accustomed to. This bums me out.

Jahzare Jackson is an OT prospect, played in OTE. He’s huge, 6-11/322. Interested to see him in positional drills.

Duce Robinson, Jaden Lopez, and EJ White working in the same group.

FSU LB commit Gregory Batson (Gregory Batson Jr.) part of a really solid LB duo at Lee. He’s vocal out there, wins with smarts. Had an awesome rep covering Upshaw on a wheel route. FSU has the last of two OVs. Mississippi State is making a run at the 89-grade LB.

There's still a ways to go until he commits on July 1, but FSU enters OV season in a great spot for 4-star WR Jabari Watkins (Jabari Watkins). FSU is at the "very top right now" with four OV coming up for Watkins. More on his recruitment at Noles247:

A ton of "culture plays" from FSU's blowout win over ETAM. But one of my favorites was seeing the reaction from Justin Cryer and Elijah Herring on the sideline when Ashton Bracewell got this 4th-down stop.

Ousmane Kromah is going to be really, really good. Also, Micah Pettus and the entire OL...pewww. Fun to see this type of movement up front again.

Two of FSU's pricier players weren't optimal fits for the Inside Zone Run Scheme that Gus Malzahn leaned on so heavily. Horizontal runs are their speciality. Why a philosophical change in the run game makes sense given what FSU has:

Marching Chiefs are in action, starting to get ready for the season opener in fewer than two weeks.

If I'm FSU, it's an all-out push for DT Lee Hunter (UCF transfer). Great size (6-4/320), production, and effort at a position of need. Watch No. 2 hustle below... Hunter highlights the list of recent Portal entries who FSU should have interest in:

Earl Little Jr. brings out an Ethan Pritchard jersey to midfield for the coin toss

A little snow in Tallahassee. Two years in a row

Coach Pot Roast with Darrell Jackson, who Terrance Knighton believes could be a top draft pick with a good season.

I started this story looking at ways in which Gus Malzahn creatively got Randy Pittman the ball last season despite inconsistent QB play. That's still what it's about. But also, I finished it really, really liking Pittman. He makes plays and plays hard.

UF had a player trying to go at it with FSU's team ortho doc after the Rodemaker penalty. Why are UF players even that close to an injured player? The lack of discipline last night, in totality, has to be alarming if you're a UF fan.

Mike Norvell rips the Florida flag out of Bobby Bowden field, and throws it. He and Billy Napier have words, but shake hands.

Hykeem Williams, Elijah Moore, and Lawayne McCoy among the WRs pushing for a starting spot. Followed by 6-6 and 6-7 targets Duce Robinson and Jordan Scott.

FSU’s finances mentioned by POTUS early in today’s discussion. The school’s BoT chair pushed back at coverage of the $400+ million debt last week, pointing to projects that he believes will lead to income and equity:

FSU fans are booing whenever Kirk speaks, and only when Kirk speaks

Mandrell Desir. Another true freshman who's going to be really, really good.

“No, no, no.” Norvell getting in veteran RB Tre Wisner for detail on catch point. I do love hearing coaches coach. Often interesting, sometimes cracks me up. Sounds like a disappointed parent here 😂

Odell and T-Knight praising Deante McCray a few times in this drill. Was told he had a good winter workout. Trying to carry it over to the spring.

Mandrell Desir is one of the highest-graded true freshmen in the country regardless of position. He's PFF's No. 3 run-stopping DL, regardless of class. And he should only get better:

Squirrel White leads the line of off-ball WR (4). Gus Malzahn watching closely.

Two of FSU's pricier players weren't optimal fits for the Inside Zone Run Scheme that Gus Malzahn leaned on so heavily. Horizontal runs are their speciality. Why a philosophical change in the run game makes sense given what FSU has:

A look at new RBs Gavin Sawchuk and Ousmane Kromah. 27 and 32

Tough, highly athletic, and experienced...Logan Flaherty is a high-floor QB take for FSU. But what's his upside?

I put down some thoughts on Malachi Marshall's game. He's got some gunslinger to him with good improv ability and a quick release. Marshall is a fun watch, will be fascinating to watch him develop:

BS Scouting Services | LB Chris Jones | Needed juice at linebacker

A wild f’ing scene in Doak. It’s been nothing but mostly misery since Dec. of 2023. So most of Doak was ready for the party at midfield.

T Knight and Odell coaching together, and Darrell Jackson is leading the charge with the DL. Knighton was trying to push James Williams: “Hey James, all you can do is f - - - - - g rush the passer.”

Watching through a few of FSU's offensive commits from last 24 hours, I thin the ECU TE is a good fit for what they'll try to do schematically with screens and YAC stuff. Intrigued by the Purdue OL as well if he can regain some athleticism from '24.
