Robbie Caldwell on freshman Jackson Carman -

"Jackson Carman is down close to 20 pounds."

Caldwell on offensive tackle Noah DeHond - "DeHond has a little shoulder injury that's holding him back in the weight room."

In a funny moment, Caldwell said of the media, "None of y'all like to talk about the offensive line, but you are the first to blame them."

Caldwell also noted that he felt that John Simpson "Was going to be fantastic."

Bates on Huggins: "Albert has really come on. Fighting till the end. Dexter goes down against FSU and he steps right in and has a 'player of the game' type game. I think you are going to like what you see from that guy."

Love hearing that Carman has dropped some lbs. I think he is going to be a good one.

On the defensive side of the ball, Lemanski Hall had great things to say about Clelin Ferrell and his development as a leader. Just a different type player.

There are a lot of "Different" players in this program.

I'll be honest, he is the one guy I really felt for when the front line returned. This would be his breakout year.

Here's the thing...Bates called Huggins and NFL player. Sounds like we are going to see a heavy rotation, but that's been the norm for a while now.

Note from Dabo Swinney:

Said this is the most veteran team he's had since he became a head coach. Said last year was the exact opposite. Last year was a complete makeover on offense and you wondered how they were going to score a touchdown. This year is a different feel. Said leadership and experience will bode well this season and already has this summer.

Sanders has much more in The Roar.

Perhaps my favorite line of the day from Dabo Swinney:
Quote:


Dabo said he doesn't know that this is the best defensive line he's ever seen just yet and that they've got a long way to go. "They look good on all these preseason magazine covers."

You will have to thank Sanders. He dropped that nugget in The Roar.

Some notes from Brandon Streeter:

Quote:

Said Lawrence did a great job coming on the team in the spring when he was supposed to be in high school and earning the respect of his teammates. He's meshed well with the entire team and the quarterback room. There have never been any awkward moments between the competing quarterbacks. They've all been pulling for each other.

Dabo Swinney just said he's "very open" to playing two quarterbacks if there is not enough separation during August Camp. Cited that he rotated Vic Beasley and Shaq Lawson because they both were talented enough to play. The same goes with the running backs right now with Tavien Feaster and Travis Etienne.

A "two-QB" system is on the table.

More notes coming in a bit.
