Coach Cutcliffe met with the media virtually Friday afternoon. I started to place this post in the off season thread but it isn’t off season anymore so I started a new thread.

This is a must read article.

I know we talked about this briefly during the virtual pub last Saturday.
I’m more than a little disappointed that Duke, or any school, is expecting to play sports this school year.
Where is the leadership displayed by forcing the cancellation of the ACC basketball tournament?
Running back depth chart question for Jim. Are there any known candidates being considered to switch positions to running back? How about Eli Pancol? That’s a guy I’d like to see get more touches. Pancol had a nine-yard TD run against Georgia Tech last season.

Unfortunately, in addition to the depth problems at running back discussed by Jim, we also have serious depth problems and lack of experience at defensive tackle and linebacker. And now we learn that Chris Katrenick is currently our first team QB. This could be a long season, unless of course it is no season at all.

First scrimmage today. That and more in this Fall Camp update:

Coach Cutcliffe says there is lots of competition so they will know more about position battles after the scrimmage.

Jim Sumner on the defense:

Talks depth and experience in the secondary and at defensive end, lack of experienced depth at linebacker and defensive tackle.

Defensive co-coordinator Matt Guerrieri seems convinced cornerback Mark Gilbert is all the way back from his hip injury. That is great news!
The secondary is a team strength and a healthy Mark Gilbert, six interceptions in 2017 when he was 1st Team All ACC, combined with Duke’s talented edge rushers will cause opponent’s offensive coordinators sleepless nights.
