Questions for Bielema, Hogs today?

[Jason Carroll]

What questions do you want answered from Bielema and players during the Razorbacks session today at SEC Media Day? Let us know and we will try to pick a few questions to ask.

[ldfergu]

How does he feel newcomer Josh Williams will contribute at LB this season?

[Hawg_Thai'd]

How much has Damon Mitchell and AJ Derby progessed since changing positions and how much can we expect to see them?

[MuskogeeHogFan]

1) While gameplans may vary from opponent to opponent, overall and on average, how much do you plan to open up the offense to a greater degree this year in terms of passing the ball?

2) How many carries per game do you and Jim Chaney plan to give Korliss Marshall this season and how might that effect how you will utilize J. Williams and A. Collins?

[HF#1]

Does he expect the secondary and WR groups to make big leaps this season?  What did he think of those two groups performance last season?

[razorsharptusk]

How is Brandon Allen?  So goes Allen, so goes the season.

[ldfergu]

How have kids adapted to Robb Smith's philosophy? Does it seem like the unit as a whole is more on the same page?

Given the majority of teams are hurry up now a days do you think Arkansas style will present unique challenges to other teams moving forward? (the opposite of hurry up basically)

[PonderinHog]

What area do you expect to see the most improvement, compared to last year?

[Poker_hog]

How are the back-up qbs progressing?  If BA is injured again or struggling, how much confidence do you have in the back ups?

[nextlevel]

Cordale Boyd, typo in the media guide or is he now a defensive linemen.

[thefisher]

1. In what specific areas of the offense and defense does he expect to see the most tangible improvement on the field?

2. Exactly and specifically who will these improvements be through? (names of coaches/players)

3. How have these improvements been gained over last year?

4. Why does he have confidence that those specific improvements will be seen on the field this year?

5. Who does he believe has made the most improvement over the off season? Why?

[immahog]

sorry this is NOT a question for coach but what time are we up today ??

[Poker_hog]

sorry this is NOT a question for coach but what time are we up today ??

Second session 12-3

[immahog]

Second session 12-3

thanks

[Killean]

Are there any specific players in the linebacker corps that he expects to shine this fall or will the unit overall just be improved?

[Hawgzinbowlz]

Is our linebacker and secondary depth SEC adequate?
Is our defensive back seven more in sync with each other and the defense as a whole?

" GO HOGS "

[welchog]

What is different about this team that will translate into wins

[BOAR_N2BWILD]

You talk about player safety. Shouldn't we get back to looking at start times for these late August and early September games. Example in Auburn at 3:00 it is almost assuredly going to be 100+ degrees at 3:00. Why isn't this a bigger issue instead of letting tv (SEC network) profit at the expense of safety.

[Jason Carroll]

Arkansas starts around 2:30 today and Bret Bielema should be on ESPNU in the big room around that time for those that want to watch him.  We get a few minutes with the guys around 12:30 before they start making their rounds.  We will have a lot of the sound up for you guys later today on the site.

Thanks for your hard work and giving us feinds our "fix".

My question last year and this year.
Who controls the offense - how much freedom does Chaney have?

[holman24]

You left WI for more pay for your Asst. coaches but after the product you and your coaches put on the field last year (the worst year of any first year coach and none of them made the kind of money you are) do you feel that you earned your paycheck???

[WashUhog6]

You left WI for more pay for your Asst. coaches but after the product you and your coaches put on the field last year (the worst year of any first year coach and none of them made the kind of money you are) do you feel that you yearned your paycheck???

Yeah, that's not going to be asked.

[Kevin]

i want them to ask the big question ap & irwin were discussing on sunday at the roundtable.

why did you not bring brandon allen to media day?

[Shorttimer]

With players essentially experiencing three years of turmoil and two losing seasons, how difficult is it to get the team to a place where they believe they are going to win?  How much of the offseason is spent preparing the team psychologically?

OR

Do you think rugby players are tougher than football players?

I'd like to hear his answer to either.

[lefty08]

Yeah, that's not going to be asked.

Nor should it

[NWAVolFan]

It's amazing how random Internet posters can come up with better questions than some professional journalists.

One guy asked Mullen yesterday, "Do you see any benefits from having 30 returning seniors to help teach the younger guys?"

No, Mullen doesn't see any benefit, he prefers all freshmen and there is no benefit to having lots of returning seniors.

[secneahog]

Has any of the DEs out grown their position and moved inside to Dts?

Have you seen Keytrus Marks make a jump after a redshirt year?

Did they watch game film at the Patriots head quarters when they was invited there?

[bigbadhog]

My question last year and this year.
Who controls the offense - how much freedom does Chaney have?

Exactly what I would like to know...

[BorderPatrol]

Exactly what I would like to know...

So you are actually worried about who called the plays last year? Really? THATS WHAT YOU WANT TO ASK BIELEMA AT THE SEC MEDIA DAYS?

I think he did!  With what little bobby left and the mess jls and what this board called the greatest set of assistants coach's ever created by little bobby, well yes he did!

[HoginChiTown]

I think this would be a great question.  In my opinion, you should never play afternoon games in the South until late September.  Too dang hot.  Morning or evening only.

[ldfergu]

My question last year and this year.
Who controls the offense - how much freedom does Chaney have?

I'm sure the entire coaching staff learned a lot from last year.  CBB and Chaney needed a year of figuring each other out.  There will be changes made this year, changes for the better

[hoggusamoungus]

i want them to ask the big question ap & irwin were discussing on sunday at the roundtable.

why did you not bring brandon allen to media day?

Only 5 of the 14 teams had their QB present.  Would have been 6 with Marshall but even then, more than half the coaches chose representatives other than their QB.

[Dr. Starcs]

1. Would you trade one win for a us World Cup?

2. Who is the biggest villain in arkansas history?

[WashUhog6]

Nor should it

Not only does it have all the subtlety of punching a wall, it's unnecessarily antagonistic and a waste of time.

[hobhog]

Because he's not a senior?

[Hogwild]

How many true freshman do you see playing this season, and any in the season opener?

[Kevin]

Ap and Irwin did a segment on it on Sunday. They said he should be there and made a big deal out of it. Going so far as to say, somebody in sports information should have told CBB he needed to take him.  Plus, they wondered what Allen was now thinking because he was not going.

So, now is their chance to ask, but they won't

Personally, I don't think he should be there.

Sumlin took his punter to media days this year.

It isn't like media days is a pleasurable experience for a player unless you enjoy answer the same, often dumb, questions over and over and over.

[TT222]

What does the competition look like to fill Kiero's role? Who are the favorites to take over the fb position?

[rzrbackramsfan]

What are the chances we'll sign vin ascolese?

[Huckleberry Pig]

Is there a specific reason we don't have a designated QB Coach (one with prior experience) esp when our QB situations seems to be our biggest problem?  Someone who could be on the field during the game for our QB to talk to and someone who can work on our QB's mechanics/vision/etc.

Would he consider hiring one in the future?  We have several quality QB's lined up, would be great to see them utilized to their full potential.

PRICELESS

[1highhog]

PRICELESS

I bet you a hundred bucks Coach B would tell you, maybe not at the SEC media days, but somewhere a little less formal and so many witnesses.

[MrKnowItAll]

Who is Robert Shields??

[Scott Marshall]

Here are a few different clips one from Media room and one from Hallway

What's it going to be like to play Texas A&M without Johnny Manziel? Oh, wait... Bob Holt probably already asked that question.

CBB ribbed him during the presser today. I'm paraphrasing but someone sitting near Bob was getting the mic when CBB noticed Bob and said:

"What's wrong Bob, run out of questions yesterday?"

Smiled and giggled then said:

"I'll get with you for your questions"
