BTN running Gopher visit report (youtube link)
- Thread starter swingman
- Start date
BTN highlights high amount of returning production led by Morgan and Ibrahim.
Griffith with Tanner on keys to success: culture, togetherness, family, focus.
Mafe, Ibrahim, Morgan, Fleck...Covid made for a lot of problems in 2020.
Josh with Mafe on defense: more connected, more experience, more practice...defense theme is The Knock, something about we are the ones that knock. Excited about fans in stadium. Fun to be playing in his home town, home state.
Griffith best looking Minnesota team he's ever seen...talented, practice well.
Dinardo, great depth, line of scrimmage deep,
Griffith: look for bounce back from TM...seems like a different man
Dinardo: Covid made tough for Sanford to install offense
Dinardo: Spring game showed how deep team was. Drafted teams, very competitive.
Sanford: Morgan funnest QB he's ever coached. wants to be in my head, wants to see thru my eyes.
Fleck with Revsine: Mo has led Potts, Wiley, Ky Thomas with really good offseason, Williams, true frosh Irving guy who will help us in some limited roles....those guys will help make Mo better, fresher.
Fleck with Revsine: dline, front seven great two deep, back end same way, best depth he's had, very physical camp, lot of returning starters, guys who have played
On newcomers: Pinckney from Clemson a pleasant surprise at nose guard, two time captain, as good as advertised, great off the field as well; DeAngelo has gotten a lot better; MDT has risen to the occasion; that whole front seven alot better, Mafe, Ozesi, Jack Gibbens also as good as advertised...especially got help in kicking game

Fleck: we're confident we're a pretty good football team when we play our best, but humble enough to know we can get our butts kicked if we don't bring it
BTN ran the new uni video blurb
Josh Perry on good looking lines of scrimmage: Mafe makes me look small, lot of guys like that, lot of intelligent guys, lot of experienced guys, guys really flying around on defense, lot of good talk between players
Revsine: 154 combined starts on OL

youtube link has much expanded convo with DiNardo and Sanford...a world's difference from a year ago with where he is at with players, staff, putting in entirety of offense, knowing who can handle man press, zone, etc...Sanford very optimistic about Tanner, Tanner getting time with the offense, finding out what the new WRs can do...Rashad in, out, in, out was a problem...2019 was almost all TJ, Bateman, Bell...had to fill in holes at wr and passing game....adjusted schematics...noted he had Tanner working with all the WRs, the TEs, the RBs in off season passing...said CAB is definitely a #1 WR, wants the ball, will go and get the ball, will lay a lick in run blocking, a dog...said Jackson got great experience as did MBS last year, both have speed, skill...mentioned Geary as a vet who has improved and is trusted by all...noted Wright brings unique skill set to the table...mentioned Doug Emilien, the second year guy one of guys excited about

Thanks for sharing...that full YouTube video was great. The BTN crew was seriously enthusiastic about what they saw. Combined with Fleck's enthusiasm and everything we know about the team, I'm finding it harder and harder to tamp down my expectations as planned lol...
