Danny Anthrop reported to have
felt good throughout training
camp, coming off that surgerically
repaired right knee, and that's
huge news. Anthrop appeared
largely smooth, fast and able
to cut like before the injury. His
presence in the slot is vital for
Purdue's offense to move, with
an ability to not only catch balls
against man or zone coverage but
for a unique second-gear after the
catch. He's the playmaker, and he
needs to hold up.
For as much doubting as Jordan Roos has
endured the past two seasons — he can't
play 70 snaps, he isn't flexible enough —
the junior always had an overwhelming
response. His offseason was perhaps
as good as anyone's, transforming his
body through yoga, diet changes and
slimming down. But, he still looks like
the "mauler" in run blocking he was
last season. Roos will pancake guys.
He just needs to hold up better in pass
protection, and that'll solidify the middle
of the line as legit.
After being overwhelmed at
points last season, forced into
action as a true freshman,
Gregory Phillips enters this
season much more confident.
He understands the offense
better, used the offseason
to get stronger to be able to
combat press man coverage
and put an emphasis on
attacking the ball in the air.
Each stride made Phillips
a formidable outside
combination with the back-
to-freshman-form DeAngelo
Yancey.
