(No Ratings Yet)Michael Calvin (BearTalk)
Posted August 6, 2008 at 2:01 pmI had a chance to talk to Michael Calvin a couple of days ago about the wide receiver corps. He acknowledges the attention they are getting to try to replace Cal’s departed trio of pass-catchers, but said he doesn’t feel any pressure.
“I wouldn’t say it’s pressure. I would consider it a responsibility,” he said. “That’s the [...]

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 [...]

(No Ratings Yet)3-4 impressions (BearTalk)
Posted July 29, 2008 at 2:41 pmSince linebackers Worrell Williams and Zack Follett were two of the three players on hand at yesterday’s Bay Area Media Day, naturally some of the conversation focused on the switch to the 3-4 base defense. There is definitely a sense of excitement about the change, something that was palpable during spring practice. The defense seems [...]

Posted July 23, 2008 at 3:05 pmWith the Pac-10 preseason media poll being released tomorrow at Pac-10 media day, I thought I would share my picks. This is a very difficult year to figure out the pecking order of the conference. More so than ever, the Pac-10 appears to be USC followed by everybody else. I basically see the conference broken [...]

Posted July 19, 2008 at 6:08 pmCal released what presumably will be the depth chart at the start of training camp. There are few surprises. One interesting area to follow is the offensive line. Mark Boskovich is listed as the first-team left guard, but Richard Fisher was getting the first team reps at the end of spring practice. Also, Chet Teofilo [...]

(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 …
