The intern, Charlie McGovern, over at the P-G is doing yeoman’s work in Zeise’s absence with a two Red Shoes Diary entries for yesterday’s practice plus and in-depth article on the WRs on the squad.
In Part Two he discusses Brock DeCicco’s decision to transfer. Again, I have to say this was kind of expected after Graham was hired and laid out what offensive positions he was going to field. Mike Cruz saw the handwriting on the wall earlier and it took DeCicco a bit longer to figure it out. It was great when he committed to PITT and I’m sure he and his parents would have wanted a full career here – but if he wants to play starting football it has to be somewhere else.
In his other article McGovern writes that our special Teams weren’t so special in some areas: “Moving on to this evening’s practice, we got our first taste of the punting game during the special teams, and I must say that Plum native Chris Yankoski (below) was pretty erratic. He had a few bombs, but also had a few short, end-over-end punts that didn’t go too far. He’s a veteran, though, so I’m sure he’ll get things straightened out.”
