Also, Ron English went off on the secondary about finishing plays. sounds like the defense is doing so.
Join the club.
But I think it may have something to do with Dabo letting him loose.
But also the receivers were much better last year. Just young. Thatβs why I think they may be a buzzsaw this year.
I also really hate how they played against Stanford because I went in the radio all week and wrote about all week how just defending the middle of the field would change the narrative about the defense.
But then they shit the bed and couldnβt handle very basic slants and RPOs from a horrendous team
An underrated aspect of UofLβs beatdown of Clemson last year was that they essentially took Klubnik out of the game.
I do think the staff failed him because they didnβt attack the middle of the field enough. Stanford did just that the following week and walked down the field all day.
THATβS WHY YOU DONT GO UP THERE DUMMY!

Still the best thing every summer. Some of the numbers are absurd.
Wrote like 2500 words on UofL's open practice from yesterday.

Extremely detailed and well done look at UofL. The defensive data stood out to me. The lack of blitzing and teams throwing the hell out of the ball against the defense were things I didnβt know.

02.08.2025 16:01 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Got my number wrong from across the field. Michael Flores was working out solo. Just now left the field.
Deion Branch and Pete Nochta spent about 30-40 minutes with the NFL scouts that were here.
I saw Ravens, Colts, Bears, and someone else.
Meeks and Micah Rice are still out here with the jugs machine. Nygra and Juread are chopping it up with Dez Tell. Pounders has been working out on his own for like 30 minutes now. Heβs the last guy out here.

Fans are running through a handful of WR drills after practice with Brady Allen.
Ellis is focusing on catching with their hands.
#wynnedbag
Barclay has Brandon Jennings doing an up downs type of punishment after practice. He fumbled earlier.
#wynnedbag
Ron English going off on the entire secondary after practice. Keeps repeating to finish the play. Was a theme throughout the practice with guys letting up during the play.
#wynnedbag
Capers is built more like a safety than an LB. Kinda wonder if he hits the weight room like he should.
#wynnedbag
Havenβt seen a few guys Selah Brown, Perry is dressed but havenβt seen him take a rep. Donβt think Iβve seen Sylvester or Davon Mitchell. Donβt see Joseph Jefferson on the roster.
#wynnedbag
Time for a water break. One takeaway is the lack of new transfers with the first groups. Mack has pushed his way in but Hurry and Collins have not and neither has Lubin. Interested to see if Moussa holds on at LT.
#wynnedbag
I believe Nigel Williams is backing up Antonio Watts but I heβs been moving around a bit. Not sure if itβs just a package thing.
#wynnedbag
Jacob Stewart with a catch. Was with the first group right before they switched.
#wynnedbag
Konga running with the twos. No Perry yet.
Holloway Moseby Deah and Gordon in the secondary.
#wynnedbag
Jabari Mack is the only real surprise in the first team drill. Heβs running with the first group.
Chris Bell just beat Johnson on a nice back shoulder throw and catch.
#wynnedbag
Looks like theyβre about to go full team here in a bit. Should be able to see some real action.
#wynnedbag
Looks like Mesman was the third guy up at TE. Atkins after him. Jacob Stewart hasnβt been in for this segment yet. Was in on the run game drill. Obviously something to watch. Expected him to be in the mix.
#wynnedbag
Mate Kurisky is the first TE up. Skinner running with the twos.
