Something of a Shakeup

Filed under: Football,General Stupidity,Practice — Chas @ 8:19 am

Morning and let’s get to the juicy stuff. Senior WR Joe DelSardo has been suspended for “violating team policy.” His suspension will run through at least the Virginia game. It is completely unclear what the reason was, and speculation is running rampant at the moment. DelSardo had been missing part of training camp with minor injuries.

Coach Wannstedt didn’t comment. I assume it was some sort of announcement made, but no clarification or explanation was added. The primary speculation seems to be that DelSardo was unhappy with his place on the team — depth chart, role, playing time. I don’t know any more than anyone else. For all we know he had some blow-up at a coach.

It’s no secret that I thought DelSardo was horribly used by the Pitt offense last year. Trying to send him out along the sideline, not on crossing routes. Putting him on passing plays that required more speed than he had rather than his sure hands, good route running and smarts. I don’t know if Pitt was still using him in a way that doesn’t play to his strengths or not. He had, by what I had read been having a pretty good camp.

Brandon Mason, though, is leaving the team for good to transfer. Good luck to Mason and try and to stay healthy.





For what it worth. Last night they replayed the spring Blue Gold game (FSNAtlantic, today again at 1pm). Mason did not look good at all. He just could not keep his feet moving, hit and down. Seemed like every play he could not break out and it wasn’t the line. He did have a few catches that did not look bad, but I was happy he was on the second team and not 1st. Over all I thought it was a good “game”. It but things in perspective, for me, even if it was like 4 months ago. Just seeing them play makes me optimistic.

Too many hits by my Easton Red Rovers, methinks.
