Franklin post practice PC 8/27/25

[GregInPitt]

- Gronk is QB2 for week #1
- No pecking order for RB3. Likely all 3 of those competing for RB3 will play this week.
- OT backups. Sexton, Alicienw, (Williams injured),
- Coleman may play 30 plays this week
- Special Teams: this season have a chance to win games with ST's in multiple games, like Minny last season
- Donkoh to RG was about getting best 5 olinemen on field
- Adirika could be player that plays a little early in the season, but may/could progress as season goes along and then plays more so late in season and in post season.

Franklin is giving better info at his PCs so far. Sign of confidence and a strong team? Or something else?

Yeah he does seem more forthcoming about personnel evaluations than in the past.

Definitely much more open to sharing details this season than in years past. I like this approach.

30 snaps for coleman is a lot. That is likely more than half of the offensive snaps unless Nevada surprises us with their offense. Obviously, the staff is trying to get him game ready in a hurry.

I think you meant to say half the defensive snaps. He's obviously trying to build Coleman up in these first 3 games so he'll be ready for BiG play.

right. I was thinking along the lines of N having more than 60 snaps, which is unlikely unless our drives are very short and they sustain long drives (which would be bad~).

Or, PSU scores so often that Nevada has at least twenty possessions!
