According to Lombardi "Stanford CB Alex Carter is cleared 100 percent. Shaw says his recovery has been "mind-blowing"

Nice to see DS  change up his superlatives a bit.

Apparently there is a new formation being used - three fullback set with Marx, Skov and Ward. Can you say POWER?!?

Re: Stanford Football Camp Report - martyup - 08-16-2014

I'd love to hear a report on how the RBs did today.

Re: Stanford Football Camp Report - fullmetal - 08-16-2014

Anyone else concerned that there were a bunch of interceptions today...?  Glad the run game sounds better than it did at the Spring Game.

Re: Stanford Football Camp Report - scorecard - 08-16-2014

Scrimmage recap up on the Stanford web site.  I wasn't there, but this report on the run game doesn't sound too thrilling.

Quote:The defense carried the day with four interceptions and two recovered fumbles coming in stifling capacity. 

All told, 21 of Stanford’s 30 run plays went for three yards or less with eight tackles for a loss (four sacks) and only four rushes of seven or more yards (Ricky Seale had two rushes of eight yards and Christian McCaffrey one eight-yard rush and one seven-yard rush).

The run game was missing some of its anticipated contributors. Kyle Murphy, Austin Hooper, and Kelsey Young didn't play. Also, the play selection looked pretty generic to me.

Re: Stanford Football Camp Report - martyup - 08-16-2014

Here is Part 1 of the write-up on the scrimmage from Rivals.com:

Quote:"Stanford's defense got the better of the Cardinal offense in the second open practice of fall camp.

Stanford's offense scored only one touchdown and one field goal in the team's Saturday morning scrimmage, which lasted about an hour-and-a-half.

"That's the hard part, when the defense plays so well, is it just because we have a good defense or is it because we could have done some things better on offense," Stanford head coach David Shaw said. "Is it because the defensive backs are making great breaks on the ball, or the routes weren't quite where they needed to be? I have no idea until I watch the film, but the positives are the defense making plays and we'll see if there are things we can improve on in the offensive side. I know some of it you just chalk it up as Henry Anderson is really good. He ran a play down from the backside - I don't know who in America was going to block him on that move that he made. We had a third down and short where between David Parry and Aziz Shittu and Henry Anderson, the line of scrimmage (got pushed back). It doesn't matter what play you call - it doesn't matter. It's not going anywhere. So it's a combination of can we do some things better on offense, or is the defense just that good?"

No, Terry excerpted the article and provided a link to it.

Re: Stanford Football Camp Report - TrumpCard - 08-17-2014

Sorry if I missed it, but it Taijuan Thomas out?  I was hoping to see him contribute.

Taijuan Thomas played. He took some reps with the 3rd string. He was behind Alameen Murphy and Terrence Alexander in the rotation at CB.

Re: Stanford Football Camp Report - TrumpCard - 08-18-2014

Terry, thanks for the info on Taijuan Thomas.  It's too bad to hear that he's been leapfrogged on the depth chart.  I hope that he comes around, but I suppose the terrific 2014 class (and the likely comparable 2015 DB class) makes this less of a problem for the team.Â
