Heading to the beach in a few but first, here's a quick video produced by Dartmouth . . .
Green Alert Take: I always enjoyed talking with Dartmouth offensive line coach Keith Clark. Beyond being a terrific coach, he's great at explaining line play and has always told it like it is. In this clip he makes a great point when he brings up the benefit of practicing against the defense drawn up by Don Dobes. If you want to know why Dartmouth has been so good for so long, those two coaches are a big part of the reason why.
Green Alert Take II: Delby Lemieux is the real deal. If he tacks on some more weight before he wraps up his Dartmouth career he could end up in an NFL camp.
Green Alert Take III: I'm guessing this is the first of a series of positional videos. I do hope there's a little more emphasis on naming names in those to come, but this is a good start.

Speaking of NFL camps, teams have until 4 p.m. today to cut down to the 53-man roster. By the time you read this Dartmouth products Niko Lalos and Isaiah Johnson may have learned their fate, the former as a linebacker with the Saints and the latter as a corner with the Dolphins. As of this writing, neither team has announced final cuts. Suffice it to say, it's really, really, really hard to make an NFL regular-season roster.

EXTRA POINT
We left the beach here on New Jersey's Long Beach Island yesterday when the sky darkened and a light sprinkle started. Over the next several hours there was occasional lightning and there were periods of heavy rain. We turned on the TV news out of New York City later and the meteorologist talked about clear blue skies in the metropolitan area but two interesting disturbances north of the city and . . . you guessed it . . . over LBI. The radar map was crazy, showing a serious storm hovering directly over us for a surprising amount of time while it was a beautiful day 10 miles in any direction. Fortunately, the forecast is better today!
