I thought the interview was about exactly what you'd hope and he seems focused on all the right things with his head in it, and hopefully a serviceable big body.

"I've never been around or seen a guy, or coached against a guy, that's been that good pinning people inside the 10-yard line," Naivar told ESPN reporter Brady Henderson in a phone interview. "Inside the 20 is automatic.
"There was a lot of times where we had to rein him back and say, 'You can't sit here and rip a 65-yard punt because we've got to cover it,' you know? We really wanted height and we wanted over 40 yards and over a 4-second hang time, and we'll deal with whatever comes with that. But there were times where he'd rip a good one and we would swing the field."
The special teams coordinator recalled one instance where Dickson's field swinging skills came through when Texas traveled to Fort Worth to face TCU. Dickson finished the game with 457 yards on nine punts, five that sailed for more than 50 yards, including a career-long 76-yard punt that still impresses Naivar.
"We were in Fort Worth, and (the Horned Frogs) have one of the better returners in college football, and (Dickson) really just got ahold of it," Naivar recalled to ESPN. "The wind wasn't significant. It wasn't like he kicked it and there was like a gale-force wind behind him. He has that type of leg where he can do that. The young man misplayed the ball, so he got some roll off of that, as well. I want to say we were punting from maybe the 4-, 5-, 6-yard line, and look up and now the opponent is starting the drive with the field totally flipped."

Re: 2018 offseason thread
I expected nothing less. I think it will be fine so long as we give him an age appropriate extension and he's not unreasonable or gets hurt like Kam.
I see Madden 19 is getting into the Shaquem bandwagon:

The team is playing hardball right now because of the injuries to Kam & Cliff Avril. They gave Kam an extension last year & still owe him a ton of money. But, he will never be cleared to play again. They want to prevent another type of situation with Earl. He's had injuries the last 2 seasons.
Either way, making this public is not a good look for him. He's still under contract.

Re: 2018 offseason thread
Brown's interviews and attitude are about perfect... jeez I hope he rubs off on the rest of the line and a training campe (1st in 3 years as he pointed out) will benefit him and give us the best LT we've had since Okung (hopefully much better).

I would try to aim more for Big Walt.
Okung was solid at times. But, Brown is a better player.

So basically Fluker & Sweezy will compete at RG.
Current O-line Depth Chart:
LT: Brown/Fant
LG: Pocic/Odhiambo
C: Britt/Hunt
RG: Fluker/Sweezy
RT: Ifedi/Battle/Jones
It's gonna be a make or break year for Ifedi.

Ifedi seems to already be in the doghouse.
