Roberto is at a lean 231 pounds - in the clip above, he looks like he's gained a step.
The roster lists Roberto about 10 pounds lighter.

I assume that was a dedicated decision by the coaching staff to get him leaner. Arguably, there's not much you can do as a running back at 242 that you can't do at 231 and faster.

If Roberto has put in that type of work to get leaner and faster this offseason, then he may be ready for a breakout campaign.

I assume no practice Saturday or Sunday. Anyone know the time for Monday?

It's killing me that I can't get to a practice—

I've had a new car ordered since December 2021.
Sold my Mustang in June, right before the bubble popped.
My new car has been sitting at the Brunswick port for three weeks now.

Fingers crossed, I get my car this week and I can see the guys practice.

It's worth watching this short clip of practice.
Lots of interesting things happening.

#11 is transfer Kyndel Dean
#18 is Grant Robinson
#21 is Jayquan Smith (after watching that short clip, this man might make some noise this season)
Also, excited to see a clip of KT (#17) showing his quicks on a run-I still think Quarles underused KT. I'm betting JR finds a way to use his talent.
#80 catching the long pass is Gram Smithson, a PWO from Brentwood Academy. FYI - he was a track guy at Brentwood. Ran a 22.4 200. I think under 22 is considered blue chip stuff.

If so, we should consider issuing him a helmet. Wearing one in contact drills or in live action should lead to fewer head injuries.

FUBeAR played more than a few games without his helmet and, TBH, it seems to show in his posts on occasion.

One of the players I was most excited about in the recent recruiting class was Smith.

His high school film, running style, field vision, and physical makeup share a lot of similarities with Devin Wynn, in my opinion. I expect one day he'll be a feature back in our offense.

I guess everyone would be shocked if Jace is not the starting QB come Sept. 1st, correct. Number 11 (Huff)looked really good throwing the ball, nice touch in the above video.

You sure that’s Huff? That looks like a FR body type to FUBeAR

Was thinking Huff is wearing 6 and has the big knee brace on….at :23. No?

Just scanning that picture, I don't know how good we're gonna be, but we're gonna look impressive getting off the bus.

I thought you were a Mini driver. I ordered a Ram truck in August 2021, and it finally was delivered in late February 2022.

Ha! I was until a broke timing chain on mine, and a cracked turbo inlet on my wife's, and MINI didn't want to pay for it.
My Mustang and the coyote engine are bulletproof - I hated to see her go.
I went to the dark side… an AMG
