Sleep well, tonight.
Here are a couple of podcasts to listen to while working. First is Jerry DiPaola being interviewed by WTAE’s Junker and the other Guy about the Spring Game… and talks about the closed practices. He makes a good point (again!) about being able to watch only the calisthenics, then the kicker and the punter punting. He hates it, every media person hates it, I hate it and some at Pitt even dislike it.

He also talks about how the offense looks unbalanced at this point because of the dearth of receivers with any game experience at all. Challingsworth and Ford are the only two WRs on the roster who caught passes last season. He quotes Nate Peterman as saying “Wait and see which WRs we can count on.”
DiPaola reiterates that Stocker is slowly cementing the QB2 position. Stocker is a big QB and is also a good runner – DiPaola mentions “Wildcat” a few times. The subject of bringing in a FBS transfer QB in (Schneider) and how that signals that the staff isn’t happy with our current #3 and #4 QBs.
What is shaping up is a competition for the 2017 starting job between Schneider and MacVitte.
