Scrimmage Recap

[CuseOnly]

Has anyone heard anything at all about our 2 new freshman QB's ?

Any insight at all...

 

[All4SU]

Yes, if he can (1) feel the rush better, (2) step up in the pocket to let the rush go past him, (3) be able to throw running to his left, not just his right - then we'll be in much better shape. But geez, that line has to not just be a step above awful, they should be (and NEED to be) fairly good this year.

The trouble last year was there was no place to “step up” into.

The trouble last year was there was no place to “step up” into.

Seemed like the defense had a pocket and TD got stuck in it.

 

[All4SU]

I would describe it more as trying to step up into an avalanche.

I would also expect that our new OC has spent some time reviewing film with TD on the good things he did and the things he needs to work on. While some of it is "feel " and gets better with experience. Some things are also training and practice teachings and it is my sincere hope that our new OC is also a strong QB coach.

I'm sure that has happened. I'm not sure that "feeling the pressure", "seeing the whole field" on the run and being able to throw accurately on the run are learned skills rather than natural abilities that some have and some don't.

There is technique involved in throwing while running in the direction opposite of your dominant hand. It requires you to swivel your hips to try to square them up (much like a shooter in basketball) before you release the ball. That way, you are less likely to have your momentum carry the ball away from your intended receiver.

If our Oline hugs nuts again this year I may lose my mind.

Whatever helps slow down the pass rush.

You're right, but you have ro run that way first. I think in the heat of the moment sometimes guys revert to natural instincts regardless of what they're taught. Of course everyone is different, so we'll get to see how much he can change and grow and how much is hardwired.

I think it comes more naturally to some - but it can be taught and you can get better at it. It may be that it's best taught by experience and reps.

Hugs nuts? new one for me... I think i like it it and will use it

I really hope DeVito finds and reads this.
Otherwise, he won't know what to do.

First things first, that picture of Iffys pic over JaVante Williams is big time. Iffy is huge, first glance I thought it was Trill. He was a string bean when he first suited up.

where is David Sumner ?

sacks need to be taken with a grain of salt. For starters the defense is usually miles ahead of the offense and they know the O. 2nd it’s always 1s against 2s and lastly it’s not even two hand touch on the Qb, a sack is just being near the QB. That said, while concerning I can’t draw any conclusions.

Who got the sacks:

Redshirt senior Josh Black and freshman Leon Lowery paced the unit with two sacks apiece. Curtis Harper, McKinley Williams, Marlowe Wax, Kingsley Jonathan, Cody Roscoe and Zach Morton also logged quarterback takedowns.

Lowery is interesting. Was he going against 1s or the scout team?

Wax is a freshman MLB.

Good to see Roscoe and Morton getting in the mix. Morton looked really big in a video. Maybe he’s a surprise in D this season.

O line is always behind especially early in the year. O line is the most intricate grouping on the field. Injuries do not help.

I hope it works.

The oline seems to always be the issue. I discussed using Elmore or another oline as a te to provide extra blocking for TD on every down. I know it limits the teams offensive weapons but if TD is running for his life it does not matter. I just do not feel a 240 te or 200 rb is going to be able provide enough extra blocking. Those two along with another big body may give him enough time.

He doesn’t have to read this .go watch his high school film
Arron Rodgers stuff .. erase what you saw last year. again no Qb in the country had it worst
Than him and add the rib injury just erase it.watch this year blocking or not he is going to make plays

 

[Cusester]

I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that I felt for you last year Redrum. Had to be very tough for you. Hoping to read many "I told you" posts from you this year. You've earned them. (So glad I proof read this before posting. Redrum got changed to rectum.)

For some reason, the image in my head of what you described is hilarious.

I am hoping you are right. I hope all the fan base wants TD to be successful. Just last year some of the things he did was a little frustrating as a fan.

Thanks it’s been a long off season I’m not an I told yuu so type guy I take the high road

Good points and the best QBs have that pocket presence. And, you don't need to scoot and be a good runner, rather feel where the pressure is from. Some of the slowest guys in the NFL like brady and big ben have made a career of knowing when to slide and shift under pressure creating new throwing lanes under pressure to get the ball off and keep the play alive. Qb is so much about instincts and decision making.

Good points . That said, my argument on another thread about the lack of size of our tight ends, might make this ineffective. Average te size of 6'5, 250# might supplement the qb protections . We have skilled tight ends but more the h back type. Thus, we need to max protect with combos of rbs and tight ends and that limits their function as an option in the pass game.

I’m guessing we have someone who’ll share it with him.
