Rickie Collins

[ManleyRocks]

There is a really good news clip of Carney from the DFW news. Looks like he throws a great ball…leading the receivers….over the proper shoulder….etc. (Although our guys caught the ball yesterday, Collins is going to get them killed with some of his passes yesterday into tight windows and behind the receivers or over the wrong shoulder) If Carney is as smart and as sound as he seems, he should be future. Fingers crossed.

Throwing a true freshman into this situation could destroy his confidence if it goes bad. I don't know what level of competition Carney played at in TX. This might be too much of an ask of him.

True, but sometimes you just have to fight with the army you have.

The thing that really surprised me…zero rollouts or designed motion plays for Rickie early on. I was really expecting to see a new rushing element from the qb yesterday which would have helped negate some of duke’s pass rush.

If today wasn’t unplayable I don’t know what is. He literally dropped the ball on the turf during his windup.

The windup is his big flaw and something they’ve really worked on getting rid of. It shows you how nervous he was given it kept coming back

It was malpractice on HCFBs part

Carneys big issue will be his size. If he was taller he be at Texas or Ohio State

Not sure height is as much a factor in college. Plenty of great college qbs that were 6 to 6’2.

Ricky is not a runner...it was even said by I believe Fran himself that Angeli was more athletic and more of a running threat that Collins. There is no rushing element to Rick's game despite what so many here seem to be trying to will into reality.

He looked pretty good on one of the early drives in the pocket - 4 or 5 nice throws - until he locked on to his first read and the safety made of the easiest INTs I’ve seen awhile. Maybe that can be coached

Throwing while rolling or moving complicates things, especially when you have accuracy and throwing mechanics issues. RC needs more time and a clean pocket to take advantage of his arm talent and to avoid "panic" decisions/throws.

McCord and Angeli were great at throwing under pressure with accuracy and timing. That's the prototype for success in Nixon's offense - at least for the portion of the playbook we've seen to date.

Yeah I didn’t see anything yesterday that made me feel he was a competent runner waiting to break out. If he’s less mobile than Angeli then that’s really limiting.
