Randy Edsall getting fired?

CJ Brown =RG3

ok ok ok i know i am over doing it. but what if Brown really makes a huge jump this season? He has the raw talent to be the best Qb in the ACC. I totaly believe in the guy. I read his tweets. and he;s a great leader. gets the wideouts and rbs out for 7 on 7 and work outs alot. added 15 pounds in the off season. I am 100%sure Brown is going to brown all over the ACC this year.

I like Brown but his throwing is below average so we should withhold some of the praise until he gets his mechanics improved. Hopefully we'll see improvements in timing and confidence where he's not throwing at shoe laces anymore.

Here's a link to an interview that Patrick Stevens gave to a Clemson site or newspaper that says a lot of the things that I was trying to say, but he said them better. So enjoy it. I see a lot of truth and reality in what Patrick said. http://www.orangeandwhite.com/news/2012/jul/16/ask-opposing-beat-writer-maryland/?partner=RSS

my Maryland top 10 players everyone free to make up their top 10 terps also

1.Joey Vellano

2. Kenny Tate

3.Dexter McDougle
,
4. Kevin Dorsey

, 5.Aj Francis

, 6. CJ Brown

. 7. Hartfield.

8.Darin Drakford.

9. Bowers.

10.Monreo

10B. Stefon Diggs

I'm looking forward to the season (as always) - hoping that some pieces fall into place and that Edsall doesn't do any more damage than he's already done.

I didn't follow the spring closely, and didn't see it posted here - have we heard where they plan on playing Tate this year??

Is anyone else ever-so-slightly (and sadly) pumped that we're apparently somewhere in the top 70 according to Patrick Stevens? I mean, we ended last year 104th in Sagarin. Improvement!

I suspect BC's coach will be on the hotseat as well. However, I wonder how Clemson fans will greet their coach with that debacle in the Orange bowl being the last game.

Players seems to be one with the coaches right now,. Edsall has changed his mean ways it sounds, Kevin Dorsey and Joe Vellano say the team is very pumped and hungry for the season to start.

I feel the team is going to be very ready physically. I am just hoping that mentally football school 101 wise their going to be ready too. Classroom football.
August when training camp starts , that's when the real football classroom to the field is going to start. i am pumped for the season. I am going to get my tickets to the games this year. And cheer my tail off for the Terps. I advice everyone to buy your tickets too, because i see a great comeback.

Biggest surprise: The Maryland defense.
Shhh. The Terps are quietly harboring one of the better-kept secrets of the ACC as the 2012 season quickly approaches. Although it’ll get somewhat lost in the haze of being in College Park, this unit could wind up being the next best thing to Florida State and Virginia Tech in the conference. New coordinator Brian Stewart, who’s installing a 3-4 alignment, inherits all-star contenders at each level. The nucleus is exciting, particularly in the front seven. DE Joe Vellano is a sparkplug-type player, and one of the nation’s most underappreciated players. Kenny Tate, Demetrius Hartsfield, Darin Drakeford and L.A Goree will give Maryland one of the sneaky-good linebacker corps in the ACC. And the secondary has just a single starter to replace, and a couple of knockout punchers at safety.

You know TerpSoccer, you should have titled this thread "countdown to Fall camp" and then when we got to camp, we could have gotten all cranked up in a brand new thread to countdown to the opener. Just a thought for next year. Carry on.

My top 10 Underrated Terps

1. Makinton Dorleant- When he is healthy i think he can be a shut down cornerback, think McDougle with more speed and athleticism. ( 5'11 180 sub 4.4 speed) He can also return punts and kicks.

2. LA. Goree- I know he started some games last year and people know some about him, But i really feel he hasn't even reached 30% of his potential yet. The guy is big 6'3 235, fast 4.6/40/. has a nose for the football. he is like a younger Hartfield.

3.DeOnte Arnett - Super athletic , 6'4 295 4.9/40, For a Guard those are very good computer numbers. He started 2 games last year i think. He did very well. I see him starting at left guard and been an ALL ACC player for us.

4.Alex Twine - What else can i say about this guy, i love his hitting ability. he inst the bigger Lb in the world ( just 6'0 225) but he is quick have great instincts. and will knock you into next week.

5. Tyler Cierski -FB - Super strong, super athletic. he could legit be a starting Running back, 6'0 255 4.6 speed. He could open up huge running lanes for Wes Brown , Ross, and Pickett. Benched something like 600 pounds i think in a video i watched on youtube MANBEAST.

6.Tyrek Cheeseboro- Right now he has only played on the special teams side of the ball, but He has great hands (from watching his high school high light tape,) sub 4.5 speed. Tuff as nails. I like his potential.

7.A.J. Hendy- Moved to Corner from safety. 6'1 205 sub 4.4 speed. Great ball skills and can cover bigger , stronger wide outs or the small quicker wide outs. I look for him to start at #2 corner spot, or be the nickle cb.

8.Levern Jacobs- I watched him at the spring game, he is so difficult to tackle,he is very quick , has great hands. Catches everything thrown to him. Like his baby brother he has game breaking speed. sub 4.4 guy.

9.Jake Wheeler- Left tackle, At 6'7 300 sub 4.9 speed. He has the prototype NFL Left tackle size and super athletic. So he just need to put it all together. No one better to teach him and coach him up , than Coach Brattan.I look for him to take the starting left tackle job by game 6. and he a lock down Left tackle.

10.Devonte Campbell-H-Back/TE - He has the skills to be a #1 TE at the college level., Blessed with Power,Size and speed ( 6'2 255 sub 4.5 speed benches like 500 pounds) I believe this season Campbell is going to break out of his shell (pun intended) and be a top receiver threat for CJ.

Yeah welcome, i figured i would make a list of young players people didnt know about. But i feel are very talented and could start this year, or give us great depth. If we can get The Oline to gel. And have Rowe step up as a true freshmen to be CJ;s back up. WOw wecould be going bowling. The Talent is there we just need to stay HEALTHY.
