Talking to some younger injured players

[chakka3421]

1. Younger players like themselves are still learning the college game and they are making too many mistakes right now especially lack of recognition of opposing defenses & offenses.
2. Younger underclassmen are much "quicker" than current seniors & juniors but lack experience and are many times out of position so quickness is useless so upperclassmen currently have the edge.
3. No excuse for injuries but playing time for younger players extremely valuable this year to learn the college game much quicker.
4. Without a doubt AJ is team leader for underclassmen - he can make all the throws unlike anyone else.
5. Curtis fade to corner of end zone will be his specialty - great at making 1 handed over the head catches (in practice with AJ at least).
6. AJ - Custis - Ish and all can't wait IPF to open - younger players are dedicated to full practice schedule over off season to get the playbook in their heads so they don't have to think, just play.
7. Wouldn't talk about coaches but they have full faith and trust in them (kinda agreed with coaching changes had to be made this year as I offerred up the mental brain freeze & farts by McDonald on play calling but they really did right thing and refused eventually to say anything more) - they finally said it really falls on the players to execute.

AJ and Lester are on same page too. And Reddish may go pro this year.

Reddish will definitely go pro since this is his last season.

Great post. I think this kind of season is great for young players. Not getting blown out - in every game - can smell the win. It's the carrot that they chase to get better. Love the young core of players we have.
