It's never too early for some to freak out

No doubt! Did you see all our QBs staring down the receivers!!

[HogHomer]

Why is it that every time someone questions something about the depth chart, coaches, or whatever it means they are overreacting, are a hater, don't support the team, and just need to chill out?

Isn't discussion about Razorback sports the entire point of this site?

We all have different opinions and except for very few on this board, that's all they are...........personal opinions. Me included.

In this instance it's because it's the first day of practice and we already have people bashing players. It's not wrong to question what's going on but after one day no one, other than the coaches, have an informed opinion on any of the players.

Nice avatar, p*ss poor post.....

Lol keep on living in a dream where raulerson is a good option. Gibson is the starter. Period. I know this is motivational.

I miss you being there as well. I depended on you.

That's what he means I believe. That coach b misspoke and was basically just saying Ragnow is a beast that could get on the field on either side of the ball if he wasn't a stud center.

I agree. CBB has stated before about Ragnow's athletic ability to play any position on the OLine.

I know. How else are we going to know if a player is pregnant? 

I promise to move on from this statement - in a year or two. 

And seriously, I do miss your reports.

Yep #1 pass play is the Clemson pick play...I mean WR screen!

That and the downfield blocking thing are two of my pet peeves but I can't do a anything about em!

Very little mention of TJ Hammonds early. Bothersome.

Arkansas' belief in T.J. Hammonds is evident in the fact he played as a true freshman last season.

However, because of guys like Rawleigh Williams III and Devwah Whaley, he was limited to just 15 carries for 88 yards and one touchdown while playing running back.

His role is expected to expand greatly this season. During the spring, he is working exclusively with the wide receivers. That will add to a dual running back-receiver to Arkansas' arsenal.

"We can really create problems by using him as a back and a wide receiver both," offensive coordinator Dan Enos said. "He can't play wide receiver part time because there's too many adjustments, too many alignment things, too many detail things if you don't do it."

Although he was disappointed to lose him this spring, running backs coach Reggie Mitchell was understanding and in support of the move.

"We want T.J. on the field," Mitchell said. "Right now, the best way to get him on the field is at receiver. We're just trying to get T.J. in position, because he's so talented, to where he'll be able to get some touches."

This probably sounds familiar to fans in the central part of the state because Hammonds had a similar role while playing at Pulaski Robinson in Little Rock.

The former four-star athlete carried the ball 218 times for 2,914 yards and 36 touchdowns and caught 80 passes for 1,996 yards and 21 touchdowns in three seasons with the Senators.

Arkansas hopes to showcase that play-making ability on Saturdays this fall.

"The goal is to get him a bunch of touches every game and if we can use him as both, hand it off to him and throw it to him, it'll obviously help him and it'll help our team get some explosive plays," Enos said.

Extremely excited about TJ Hammonds!

How about Brandon Martin though??  He is going to be an immediate impact player for us, he reminds me of Demaryius Thomas/ Brandon Marshall.  He will be able to use that big body to muscle guys around and get open, something we have not had in a long time.  He is the type of guy we have needed to compete against the physical DBs at Bama and LSU.

Exactly! We had some talented receivers the last couple of years but they were still bullied by Bamas secondary. Brandon Martin has the size and speed to challenge the elite corners in our league.

We had 400 yards of passing last season against Bama, so I don't think you can say our WRs were bullied.

Bunch of nerve wrackin SOB's... It's like playing cards with my brother's kids or somethin...LOL!

Jared had a great game getting almost 150 yards against Bama. However we passed the ball 48 times I would hope we get to 400 yards. Our running back was the second leading receiver during the game with 51 yards. 2015 we only had one receiver over 50 yards, Reed, who only had 23 yards before his 50+ yard catch. So maybe struggled is a better word?

Well oiled machine? Easy, hoss. Far from that the last 2 games of past season.

I'm not trying to downgrade anyone. They achieved great things during their time here and I am truly proud to call them a razorback. Our receiver generally struggled against elite corners. That's true for 90 percent of college receivers. However I believe Brandon Martin is in that 10 percent that can compete or even dominate an elite corner.
