I like the business about captains.
I hope this will promote an atmosphere in which it's understood that any number of guys could step up and make a game-changing play instead of leaning too much on a small core of players.

I think you'll see smaller
and more agile linemen across the board. For some strange reason Weis beefed everyone up only to sit back in the shotgun and sling it all over the place. It wasn't a match made in heaven.
maybe
I keep thinking of the brick wall Robinson that is great on the inside, but not that fast on the edge, especially in a spread style offense.
Then again, maybe I should wait to see what we get after winter conditioning.
That, too.

I hope it means Robinson is moving to RT
It's harder to replace two starting OTs than one tackle and one guard, and I think Nuss and/or Watt would be better equipped to step in without a hitch than Dever and/or Martin.
Could say good things about Martin and Dever.
I'm the eternal optimist.
it also sounds like
Lane Clelland has indeed moved to defensive end. Certainly an interesting move. He fits the tall DE archetype Kelly and Co. have talked about, but that certainly doesn't leave much room for error at offensive tackle.
Me too
I'm starting to see evidence that he really is about fundamentals, and it makes me very, very happy.
I'm crossing my fingers hoping he assumes USC is a old rival

Love the conditioning comment
Not that we're in the shape we're in, but that we're going to be in the shape we're going to be in.
Kelly tweets from Hamilton
(If Kelly considers the questions to be more on offense than defense, then color me even more encouraged about this season.)
B.Kelly on #NotreDame QB Dayne Crist: "Making good progress. He'll be able to do everything in the spring but full contact." No surprise.
