(No Ratings Yet)Post-practice: Tuesday (closed scrimmage) (BearTalk)
Posted August 19, 2008 at 10:09 pmIt’s amazing how much information you get when you actually have to depend on other people to give it to you.
Tuesday’s second and final scrimmage of training camp was closed to the media. Reporters were let into the stadium just as practice was winding down. I got inside just in time to see David Seawright [...]
(1 votes, average: 4 out of 5)Post-practice: Thursday (scrimmage) (BearTalk)
Posted August 14, 2008 at 11:01 pmCal held its first scrimmage of the fall tonight, and there weren’t any major developments. But here are some highlights:
–Kevin Riley slightly outplayed Nate Longshore at quarterback, and has been coming on lately. The past 4 or 5 days, Riley seems to be improving his accuracy, cutting down on mistakes and playing with more confidence. [...]

Posted August 6, 2008 at 1:43 pmIn today’s paper, we looked at Cal’s biggest uncertainty — the wide receivers. I truly believe this is the biggest question surrounding the team. Yes, we don’t know who the starting quarterback is, but at least we’ve seen both guys on the field. The wide receivers don’t have any experience, and quite frankly, aside from [...]

Posted August 5, 2008 at 10:03 pmMonday may have been the first day of practice, but Tuesday was the first day the Bears really sunk their teeth into a lot of things. Cal eased into things Monday with mostly individual drills. Tuesday, there was much more 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 action, as well as a couple of special teams periods.
Highlights included:
–The beginning [...]

Posted August 4, 2008 at 11:43 pmOn Friday, August 1st, the 5 of us traveled into Berkeley to learn from the best — Jeff Tedford and the Cal Football team. We learned all sorts of things, like how to get in proper defense stance, how to appreciate football players in the proper defense stance, but especially how to stay hydrated. Yes, especially the importance of hydration…So he’s a review of what …

Posted July 21, 2008 at 2:23 pmI meant to post this earlier. It is a Cal season-preview by Blue Ribbon Yearbook and ESPN.com. It originally appeared on ESPN’s website about 10 days ago.
There’s really no breaking news here or a new take on things, but just another observation by a national outlet. A couple of things I would point out: I [...]
(No Ratings Yet)Spring Ball depth Chart (California Golden Blogs: Front Page Posts)
Posted July 5, 2008 at 8:26 pmWe had a question lately about our receivers, since we return all of 10 catches for 153 yards (thanks to LayReylle Cunningham, who provides all of those numbers. Yes, he is the only wide receiver on the roster with a catch in a game.). We figured that other people might be curious about our actual players in the midst of a month’s coverage on DumpyMuffs …

Nyan Boateng
Michael Calvin
Covaughn DeBoskie
Brian Anger
Tad Smith
Peter Geurts
Ernest Owusu
Syd’Quan Thompson
Rulon Davis (as a leader)

Well, Ragnarok started off our Spring Game coverage with information and photos about the Surplus Sale. I, being much lazier, didn’t show up until well after the Surplus Sale was over. But much fun was still had. I’ll leave the more in depth analysis to Ragnarok, CBKWit, and, of course, HydroTech. But there are a [...]
(No Ratings Yet)Spring practice preview: linebackers (BearTalk)
Posted March 30, 2008 at 4:23 amThe reason Cal is seriously looking at using more of a 3-4 system isn’t just because the success it had against Air Force in the Armed Forces Bowl. Indeed, that was an adjustment to specifically stop the Falcons’ offense.
But it did provide food for thought. The Bears recognize the linebackers are the strength of their [...]

Posted March 22, 2007 at 2:43 pmAmong many interesting things about Brian’s 3rd down charts at MGoBlog is the following: teams employing the zone read option do pretty well in 3rd and short situations. Well, that’s not quite precise. Teams with mobile quarterbacks that run the zone…
