” The thing I like with Mike Norvell is his offenses are so much better when he has dynamic playmakers at the running back and broad receiver positions and guess what? He has dynamic players in those areas,” Steele stated. “Again, these guys have to play group football. From what I saw as a fan once I left Florida State, it didnt appear like they had the same friendship from when I was there.
What are reasonable expectations for Florida State football this season? For beginners, enhancing on last seasons disappointing finish down the stretch is there for the taking with a veteran core returning at the ability areas according to college football veteran expert Phil Steele.
The preseason magazine expert on Tuesday appeared on ACC Networks Packer and Durham and previewed the Seminoles, a team in transition under a brand-new head coach.
” The thing I like with Mike Norvell is his offenses are a lot better when he has dynamic playmakers at the running back and pass receiver positions and guess what? He has vibrant players in those spots,” Steele said. “If they get good quarterback play, watch out. I think theyll be hazardous. And their defensive line really stands out. Marvin Wilson there.
” I rank them No. 4 in the country on the defensive line. Another group that underachieved last year, I think theyll be in the mix for that second-place spot in the ACC Atlantic.”
Steeles thoughts are comparable to previous Florida State quarterback and ACC Network expert E.J. Manuels early take a look at the Seminoles. Earlier this month, Manuel stated Norvells top priority is getting complete and buy-in trust from a talented roster.
” Theyve had the weapons awhile now, however its a matter of bringing all of it together,” Manuel stated on Packer and Durham. “Again, these men need to play group football. From what I saw as a fan when I left Florida State, it didnt appear like they had the exact same friendship from when I existed.
” It appeared like some men were almost attempting to do a little excessive and some men werent doing enough. If they can jointly bring it all altogether, Norvell will sort of be the glue they require in that program to get these guys to play to their complete potential.”
The Seminoles began enhanced workouts this week in Tallahassee, one step better to the start of the 2020 season– whenever that may be. Per Noles247, the NCAA approved 8 hours of workouts each week for football summer athletic activities leading into a shift on July 24 through Aug. 6, when schools might perform approximately 20 hours of countable athletically-related activities weekly.
Steeles preseason publication will be available in limited quantities on July 24 at Barnes and Nobles and Books-A-Million or online.
