No Errin Joe (shoulder), Freddie Burden or Demond Smith (concussion) today. Will Bryan started at RT in practice and Andrew Marshall for Burden with AJ Gray at FS for Smith. CMS said he thinks both Joe and Burden will be back. Bryan and Eason got reps with the ones at RT, said that Chamberlain could play RT and Bryan LT because Bryan is more comfortable there if Joe can't start.


CMS said that some of the OL issues are calls based on looks and the guys over thinking. That is why Burden said they were confused last week and having trouble making their calls. CMS said that they had similar issues a few years ago when Beno, Will Jackson and Finch were seniors and were over thinking and played like crap. It is eerily similar to that line, but without the veteran skill guys to bail out the OL.


Shamire said the offensive line has no chemistry right now, said they are not on the same page and they (as players) aren't sure how to fix it.


CBC said that Marcus Marshall was close to breaking a couple of plays and he made a few mistakes that costs some big plays like the screen pass not getting far enough from the OLs for JT to see him. CBC and CMS said that Marshall is getting close to figure it out running wise and they are hopeful he will start breaking some long runs. Sounds like he will be continuing to get the bulk of the B-back snaps while Skov tries to heal his shoulder.


CBC said that JT is pressing and forcing things and he has to calm down. Justin told me he feels like a cloud is over the team right now and they need it to pass.


CBC said that Patrick Skov is really banged up and it is impacting his play from a mental perspective and he is making a lot of mistakes and blocking weird.


The OLs having some issues making calls, said that Uzzi then Mason made the calls on the line in the past. Freddie Burden is the one who was supposed to be making them, but is having problems.


Mike Summers said that the offense just needs to take the game at one play at a time and everyone is pressing.


CMS said he has never seen anything like this in his 30+ years with CPJ or on his own as well. Said that the whole thing is a mess and there are so many close plays where one block was missed or a guy gets tripped that could have changed two of the three losses and the complexion of the Clemson game as well.
