Sounds like Hammad is gone. Based on Strong's tone/comments sounds like it was a mutual thing. Wish Rami the best.

Sounds like either Marcus Hutchins or Darius James will start at OT

Shipley can't practice.  

Options are --

Marcus Johnson (22 career catches)

John Harris

Ty Templin (walk-on)(but dont giggle, sounds like he will play)

Looks like things are still playing out at the following positions...

Great updates! It's exciting to see just how things are shaking out with regards to the positions that starters are yet to be determined. I'm interested to see how the OL looks in game one.

The John Harris comments are interesting. I can't remember if he got injured last year or not. The guy looked really good in the first game against New Mexico State and averaged nearly 30 yards per reception when he played. Not real sure why Mack/Applewhite took him out of the lineup about midway through the season (unless there's an injury I just can't remember). 

 

[utisdabomb12]

The comment that stood out most was that Strong said offenses will become impatient if you make them have long drives. Taking away the big play seems like something Strong stresses, and I think that will have a huge impact on the defense. One of Diaz's biggest problems IMO was trying to do entirely too much with blitz and formation packages. Sometimes it's not always about making a big play, rather it's about not giving up a big play.
