Byron Moore just told me McCullers blocked a FG today.
Moore didn't remember who kicked the FG but said it didn't matter, because any kick would have been blocked.

I don't know if you or Ryan have seen or know who number# 50 in orange was....but he's working with DL and every bit as big as McCullers....???
But think about the beef / options we have up the middle of FG's ... coupled by the jumpers Hunter, CP, maybe Croom.... jeeez I would hope we block some field goals.....it will definitely alter everything from 40 yards or more...and have opposing teams / kickers thinking A LOT more !!!
good stuff

That's Omari Phillips.
He ain't McCullers big, but he's plenty big.

ohhh. gotcha... Thanks Wes. Yeah I agree. Watching the youtube highlights of practice though...its hard to tell... because in the footladder drill where they go up and use hand technique to hit the pads and rush.... Phillips goes after Greg Clark....who is pretty big, and in that speed of the drill he makes clark look smaller... then Mc Culler's goes after Phillips... and you can tell a difference.... there's not any "giggle" or flap swaying around with Big Mac... which is just unimaginable to me... 375 pounds and just hard like that is CRAZY.
I guess I didn't realize Phillips was that Tall... He's def got a ways to go in order to Look Fit... loose that bad fat (belly etc) and put back on good weight... I would say middle to late season... like couch was last year maybe????
Regardless.... those three guys alone... have really, really thick Trunks.... hips/butt and legs.... which is a great sign and needed for leverage and strength at that position
Dan Hood looks really healthy as well...
Thanks for the info again.

'McCullers big'. A new standard.

Drae Bowles and Alden Hill got some scout-team work today during the portion of practice open to media, so that may or may not be an indication of where they stand right now.

redshirt season likely for one or both? Considering what i remember of Dooley answers to these type questions red shirting won't be decided until end of season or like when Worley burned his..

WES.... actually I stand corrected... it's number 96 that goes after Phillips in the drill.... who is that??? McCullers doesn't go until next to last... He's def bigger than Phillips... no doubt... but maybe Phillips is thicker in that Trunck region???
anyway... good stuff.

No. 96 is redshirt freshman Trevarris Saulsberry.

Ryan/Wes:
Would it be safe to say that scout team work at this stage of the season is about getting extra reps more so than the depth chart for some players?

Had the same thought. +1 for the question.
