I read several Denver Broncos news sites and listened to the coach talk about Pat Bryant. Pat has had two terrific preseason games, but the biggest compliments were on his blocking abilities. All university of Illinois receivers need to understand that coach Stepp and coach B teach them blocking skills not only for now but for in the future. We are lucky to have these two coaches.
He did have the 5th highest tackling grade of any CB in the nation.
Saboor Karriem is huge. He's bigger than Matt, at least in that video. Really hope he gets his shot (but also wouldn't mind Bailey back in '26).

Two intriguing nuggets from Jeff Johnson's latest post:
"NFL scouts very impressed by Arkin….’he has come a long way from last year….is going to play in the league’…can block and huge improvement in his hands….another scout, ‘Bielema’s defensive line stood out the most when I was there…that’s a group that has been an upgrade over last year.’"

The subject of the headlined quote is that apparently Altmyer's NIL deal is 1.1M and Tate leaked it at some point after boosters were told not to tell anyone.
Supposedly UT offered him double and he stayed anyway. Luke's a real one, man.

I liked the story about Ron Ferrari, captain 1980-81. It’s the paragraph just below the story about how much money Altmyer is making. And there are some other interesting tidbits. Not all of them are “feel-good” stories.Two intriguing nuggets from Jeff Johnson's latest post:

I'm sure the money was tempting, but stability/familiarity won out. good decision.
if this season works out like we all hope, that "lost" million+ will be made up quickly
Different styles for sure. Pretty much veer and shoot for Heupel. Barry's is much more basic than people think.

Dip your nuggets in my staff source sauce.
Only 11 days until Illinois football.
Selling out of multiple colors of seat backs is a great problem to have
Beyond what looks like varicose veins, maybe venous stasis? Poor circulation with several potential causes as well as clotting risks. Not good.
Surely we have dietary, medical, and fitness expertise on staff somewhere, but knowing and doing are two different things. He’s a father and a relatively young guy with a great career ahead. Hopefully he paces himself and sets aside time to get healthy and fit. I’d rather lose a few games than this coach.
Been like that at least since he got here. He's shed a lot of weight this year.
Maybe, but you’d at least want a game under their belt before that Duke game.

Far better to let him heal another week. We don’t need him at all vs WIU.
