He's coming into a great situation working with a talented group of tight ends. This is one group that I'm really not concerned about and demonstrate great blocking and catching abilities with plenty of depth. I'm very surprised they didn't move Mark Shuler to the DE position. I feel we are very thin in that area with depth and he can definitely play at that position

That is Mark Schuler. It is spelled Schuler.

His footwork and overall quickness is better then a season ago and I honestly did not expect that. He has definitely brought his "A" game into spring ball and seems to be embracing this challenge. His throwing ability from the pocket is very impressive. Hosick has improved from day one untill now and that's a really good sign. He seemed to struggle the most throwing from the pocket. He had a difficult time finding throwing lanes and reading coverages from the pocket. He can definitely throw outside of the pocket on the run and they are expanding their playbook to fit that strength of run/pass option. To this point Ricky has been struggling and could be coming to grips of being the third string. I just hope that Bo and Shane are on the same page, but I think they share different beliefs..For now I have Wells (1) Hosick(2) Davis (3)..We will find out much more when the bullets start flying

Davis was the only QB to drive the team down and score Saturday during the down-distance portion of practice, both throwing and running to help his team.
FOOTBALLFEVER:
Mayor I wasn't there on Saturday, but that's really good news. Like Bo said position's are not won and lost in a day or two. The more competition the better. Ricky is a good athlete and excellent kid..and I wish him the best

Thank you. I hope they all do well because that will mean YSU did well. I would like for Ricky to get his chance on the field though. If he does the job, fine. If he doesn't, fine. I think he should be given a chance so we don't have to hear he can do this or he can't do this from people's opinion. Let us see what he can or can't do. We have seen Hunter, good and bad (mostly good), but let's see some Ricky throwing and running. :) Love YSU either way. Go Penguins!!

We pretend 2015 never happened. I actually see parallels between Slocum's contract renewal and Wells.
Regarding Wells, he has impressed in Spring practice before. Have his proven issues: lack of mobility, lack of progressions leading to a single read, and a lack of grit leading to dropping knees and sliding to avoid contact...been resolved? How could they be?....because it would require a different skill set and different attitude and toughness that he does not have. Gaining weight doesn't fix that.
Want another 5-6 record?....then do exactly what we did in 2015.
