Mahoney Says To Start Rex

[LockedOnSyr]

We had Zack Mahoney on the show today and he detailed a lot of the problems that are happening with the offense and gave his thoughts on who should start for the rest of the year. Here's a link to the full show: ‎Locked On Syracuse - Daily Podcast On Syracuse Orange Football & Basketball on Apple Podcasts

[upperdeck]

I think if TD would trust the reads that Rex made it would help the offense at times. Its clear who throws it better. Is he doing it in practice and not in the game?

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I think we're going to see both QBs.

Here's hoping when Rex is in his passes are a lot more accurate.

 

[Wrinkle]

How has it come to this

 

[SUfaninAZ]

 

[BrooklynCuse]

Is there anyway Tommy and Rex can both play? At the same time? Rex can read the defense, the ball will be hiked to Tommy and Rex tells him where to throw it

 

[KevMonstah]

uh, what would he know about being a winning QB? aside from the bc game his first year, SU lost every game he played in that was something other than "3 carries" or "0-2 passing", ie, any game he had to put up meaningful stats. they are really reaching for commentary now.

kev.

this is a weird take. We listen to people all the time who have never won a D1 college game.

 

[Libero2]

I thought it was interesting Mahoney was implying that players (possibly, but not necessarily Devito) are just expecting to be great once they get 'their blue checkmarks' and not necessarily putting in the endless hours of work.

 

[sufandu]

interesting take from a guy that knows the offense and has played for Dino.

 

[Alsacs]

Devito got Andrew Robinson’ed In 2006 from the OL last year.

He has more talent than Culpepper but he doesn’t see the field as well and he hears the footsteps. Plus he doesn’t throw the ball away.

I agree with the Officer.
Play Culpepper more.

 

[Newhouser]

"throw the politics away" is an interesting comment.

 

[RMH44]

this is a weird take. We listen to people all the time who have never won a D1 college game.

It's not weird at all if you follow his posting history. He is a TD apologist...lack of success is always the fault of someone else.

kev.

yes I would much rather let steelerswan make the call.

 

[sufandu]

this is a weird take. We listen to people all the time who have never won a D1 college game.

Heck, there are a lot of coaches that have never played a D1 college game.

kev.

Yeah, the 440 yards and 5 touchdowns vs Pitt were meaningless. It was all his fault the defense couldn't hold Pitt under 61 points.

 

[SUforme]

Well pretty tells you a lot from a guy who has run this offense and knows what it should look like.

 

[AAM62]

Sheesh he says a lot more than that. I do give TD credit for his toughness but sheesh, this thread might get ugly if people hear that pod.

 

[Pyle]

kev.

kev.? You signed a forum post? I think that's actually worse than 'facts' or 'period'. Also, nothing you said makes what Mahoney said wrong.

That's exactly what it's implying. We know he's been working hard. Up until the pandemic hit and threw coverage out of whack, the coverage into his off-season in 2019 was transparent. Devito's undoing was his loyalty to Syracuse during the recruiting process. Babers talked a good game.

 

[PhatOrange]

ut oh

 

[Bayside44]

Oh boy...

Wow...just wow.

 

[cuse10]

Wow...just wow.

Limited vocabulary this morning?

Always hate to show my ignorance, but what does "have a blue checkmark next to their name" mean?
