Depth of position? GASP!
Don't utter such words!

: Yes, and isn't it nice to be able to have this
: kind of discussion--we have more than just
: one or two options. I think it's called
: depth of position?

:
: Interesting observations on the quarterback
: position. This article states that coach
: Tomey (whose opinion is the only one that
: counts) feels that Myles Eden has been by
: far the best at the position so far. He is
: a Scott Rislov type. Very smart, will beat
: you with his brain and is versatile as he
: can run as well as throw a good pass. Some
: on another board feel that Sean Flynn has
: "by far" been the most impressive.
: Others with whom It speak state that there
: will be no quarterback controversy as Kyle
: Reed is big, a truly great runner and throws
: an accurate bullet pass. At the end of the
: last season, it looked like Jordan LaSecla
: had second spot after Adam. We stole him
: from Arizona State. It also looks like Chad
: Bozzo will be playing at a position other
: than quarterback. I believe a decision will
: not finally be made until late in Fall
: practice. Its all good.

: Mark the calendar with a big * on *April 12*
: we should pack the stadium for the Spring
: Game this year to show our support. I'll be
: there in my 112/22/7 seat like every year.
: Bring lots of sunblock and water. Go
: Spartans!

: "I really like the way the guys are
: playing. I like the way they are
: competing." - Dick Tomey
:
: Sophomore Duke Ihenacho returned a pair of
: interceptions for touchdowns highlighting a
: strong effort by the defense in the first
: San Jose State University spring football
: scrimmage in Spartan Stadium.
:
: “We’ve had five practices in 10 days. I
: think we’re making good progress. Obviously,
: our defense is way ahead of our offense. If
: that’s not true right now, you’re in bad
: shape. For every team in the country, your
: defense should be ahead of the offense early
: in spring practice. We have a much more
: experienced defense. They’re really flying
: around. The coaches are doing a great job of
: getting the guys to play at a high tempo,”
: said head coach Dick Tomey after the
: 90-minute scrimmage.
:
: “There were a lot of good things (in the
: scrimmage). I’m mostly excited about the way
: the defense is playing. They’re playing
: hard. I think the offense will come around.
: Half of our offensive line is out.”
:
: The offense scored its only touchdown of the
: 60-play scrimmage on a 9-yard pass by Myles
: Eden to running back Cameron Island. Jared
: Strubeck, who handled all of the kicking
: responsibilities in the scrimmage, made
: field goals of 26 and 29 yards.
:
: “I was really impressed with Myles Eden just
: as far as the first day (of scrimmaging) is
: concerned. He is clearly ahead at
: quarterback. He’s played more (in the past)
: and made some terrific plays (today),” Tomey
: commented about the offense’s efforts.
:
: The San Jose State coach also singled out
: Strubeck, Mohammed Marah and defensive
: linemen Liam Smith and Kalvin Crerssel.
:
: “He (Marah) moved to linebacker and lost 40
: pounds. He’s really shown some good stuff.
: Liam Smith was not a major contributor last
: year, but has really done a nice job. Kalvin
: Cressel – the same way. There are some real
: good signs. We’re excited about the way the
: defense is playing,” said Tomey, who was
: very happy there were no injuries during the
: scrimmage.
:
: Right now, it looks like Jared Strubeck will
: be our punter. He’s done some real good
: things.”
:
: Spartans’ next practice is Wednesday, March
: 19, at 7:30 a.m. and is the last practice
: session before Spring Break.
:
: “I really like the way the guys are playing.
: I like the way they are competing. That’s
: the main thing right now,” reflected the San
: Jose State head coach now in his fourth
: season who expects to give more plays an
: opportunity to display their position
: flexibility.
:
: “That’s what this is all about – looking at
: guys in different positions, coaching
: technique, coaching fundamentals and giving
: ourselves a chance to have the football team
: we want to have in the fall.
:
: “It’s a process and it’s a process that will
: take a lot of patience. You just can’t give
: up on anybody or anything after five days.
: You’ve got to keep working. At the end of
: spring practice, we’ll be further ahead than
: we are now, but we still won’t be close to
: where we’re going to be in the fall.”
