Does Hunt take another snap at QB?

[KaiserUEO]

I can see Hunt moving to defense. Perhaps safety

Ahem...

 

[RICuse44]

Biggest take away was that the offense looked smooth and confident. Players looked in position and never seemed to be in a bad play vs their d (outside of a few inside runs - but I think our Oline just got beat on those plays - not scheme).

Basically I think Lester is about 10x the OC McDonald is. Everyone looked better (outside of drops).

Different system completely. There was flow to the play calling today. Also screen set up so the receiver was moving forward on the catch. The misdirection was there too with one play setting up another. And Lester actually said he prefers a more simple well executed offense. Right now with aj you would be comparing apples to oranges. How much different did wilson and long look today? And how much different did Wilson and hunt look v Lville? Some of our struggles are on coaching and others are on players making plays. To me, the offensive struggles were much more about coaching.

Nonsense.

 

[dasher]

Nonsense.

why?

AJ made some good reads today. The pass that Morris dropped would have been a huge gain because of Long's pre snap read. He saw the inside DB getting ready to blitz. AJ moved Morris outside. We had one more blocker out there then they did DBs. The safety was on the other side of the hash. It was a great job by Long and was going to be a big gain.

Totally agree. And my question about McD was not a meant to bash Terrel. At all. Just making the point that AJ and Austin seem to be able to throw a pass (integral to McD's offense) that Hunt has had trouble with. What with playing football and graduating early, what Hunt has done here is highly commendable. Not many kids can do what he has done.

I didn't see your post when I wrote.The team has no choice but to move on, something we as a fanbase needs to do also

 

[Cuse Action]

Nonsense.

Way too slow for one thing.

Happy with AJ this game, but people are writing off Terrell way too fast. People forget how good he was at the end of the season last year.

Perhaps, but he has not improved his passing game and cannot take us anywhere becasue of that. Hunt would be great playing for Navy or GT. AJ's ceiling looks pretty high compared to Hunt and I say that based on what the coaches and players have been saying as much as the FSU game. He actually made a bundle of mistakes and lousy passes but after he settled down he showed his stuff. He is accurate - not great arm strength but accurate. Looks like very high ceiling indeed.

Just throwing it out there - if McD had Wilson and/or Long throwing those bubble screens, would he still be OC today?

Easy answer. It all depends on who McD would have him throw the screen to. If he's throwing the screen to a TE then no. If he is throwing it to a RB/WR like yesterday then probably.

Hunt threw many to the H-Back, RB and WR but he was very inaccurate and those are timing plays that fail if the receiver has to stop, jump, turn or squat to catch the pass. Yesterday they were all hit in stride.

I think HCSS is a loyalty guy( and I think he was too loyal to McScreeny) I can almost guarantee he says the old "no player will lose his spot due to injury" I think he has Hunt as starter when he comes back but look for Long to get some decent playing time and if he out plays Hunt then he pulls the trigger.,

I think Hunt will end up as a TE provided he can catch. He has the size and we know he can run with the ball. He could be a damn good TE

Depends on how AJ and Austin do while Hunt is out. If they play well, there is no way he will bring back Hunt to start. Zero chance.

I think Hunt had one look at that pee trough and decided he wanted to stay in streets for the games. The grandeur of it all is awe inspiring even if the smell isn't. Just ask Ragman.

 

[Upstate]

The O looked quyicker because Lester was getting the ball to players who were moving pre-snap. Those end-arounds to the RBs, Gulley on the swing passes, made the players look faster and hide some deficiencies. Loved that. Can be used with either QB, but I was made confident with Long's performance going forward. There's a reason he wasn't starting, though.

 

[Chris02M]

Lester also cut half the playbook for this game so players had less to focus on

 

[Chip]

I don't think Hunt is quick enough to play another position. Lester has an interesting decision to make. I think he has to go with the guy who has the upside.

 

[O-pulse]

Hunt would make a good TE; he has the size and hands for that position. The play calling yesterday was far superior to what it has been all season. Lester has a feel for the flow of a game and also gave Gully sufficient time on field to show what he's got.
If AJ and Austin continue to develop; I don't see how HCSS reverts back to Hunt when he is again healthy.

 

[Fjoinkay]

I'm excited to see Lester game plan for T-Hunt. Long and Wilson both played well yesterday, so I'm pretty sure T-Hunt would have played well too.

 

[memcorsu]

FSU was one game. It was a game in which the other team had 0 film. The other team had never seen our OC, our offense, and had to plan for 2 qb's they have never seen. I am very impressed with AJ and did not think he would be as successful as he was. I think we do not anoint AJ the next McNabb until we have seen a few games under his belt. Let's not forget that Wilson was pretty effective until he got hurt and many on this board where calling for him to be the starter last two weeks.

We have also not seen Hunt in this offense. If AJ continues to improve, I can see them shutting Hunt down for the season and letting him heal. It is going to be an interesting off season with AE coming and supposedly being pretty good.

I love what I saw from AJ, but he looks tiny out there. Hope Hunt doesn't get the job back the same way AJ got it.

Matt Grothe from S Forida shredded us for years and he was only 6' and 205 lbs. AJ actually is better, faster and has a better skillset. He just needs to put on about 15-20 lbs.

I thought his arm strength was really good, don't know what people were talking about that he has a weak arm. He was throwing darts out there. Great placement on his downfield throws.

He no where near fast enough or athletic enough to play safety or LB. Tight end maybe.

 

[Orangetradition44]

I think people are writing off Hunt a little early.

I know it is early, but I think AJ just got the job.

Maybe, but some guys are just better when the lights come on. What you see from a player in practice isn't always what you see in a game. Maybe AJ is just a gamer. It happens.
