Zeed Status?

[Jcuse_44]

Who do we have who can burn teams deep and stretch their defense? I'm thinking Gill or maybe Ross.

Both are capable. Ross for sure.

 

[Jake]

Malachi James?

 

[RF2044]

Yeah, sometimes people need a moment. Can't it be just that? If it's a few weeks or a bit more, give the young man some time to work things out. That's what Fran is doing, and that's why he'll be back. Footballs means nothing in the grand scheme.

What I don't understand is if he wants to know so badly, why wouldn't he just go to the thread on the pay board? It has all of the information about Zeed, including details about the situation.

Malachi James?

So far he's only played on the kickoff team.

Maybe they can they teach him a few routes in a week.

Hornsby

Hornsby

Agree, I think there are some good options that will pan out better than trying to convert a true freshman running back.

Hornsby's got range.

He's a WR.

How’d he get here?: Jaylan de-committed from Texas A&M and flipped to the Orange after the hiring of Fran Brown. Another highly-touted NJ prospect, Hornsby received additional offers from Georgia, Penn State and Notre Dame.

Totally agree….thats why I said I agreed.

Totally agree….thats why I said I agreed.

I misconstrued, but my larger point is that we have seemingly quality depth that I hope can rise to the occasion. Gill, Hatcher, Ross.

He seems like a smart kid, I think he can figure out how to run a go route

Malachi James?

He's more of a running back than a wide receiver.

I don't think anyone is disputing if they are "capable". It's more about McCord trusting he can go to them. That sort of thing usually develops through practice reps. The first game without Zeed was vs Stanford and it took McCord awhile to realize he could trust Meeks.

To be successful we have to move the chains and score TDs. That requires some newcomer making a huge impact. It's asking a lot. But we've suffered a lot and paid our dues, dammit.

 

[Irishsecra1]

I am hoping Justus Ross Simmons steps up

 

[JRHEETER]

Probably see Allen in the slot and then you could go 2 TEs and motion Villari in the backfield

Allen may have some of the best hands on the team and it’s someone McCord trusts

I'm sorry but it is. I've had a lot of family emergencies happen and not once did I run to delete all social media. I hope I am wrong though. But this feels like strange.

This is not a good post. We have a god knows how many posts about him on this site, his name comes up in podcasts, interviews, he plays football on national TV for a power program.

His social media doesn't compare to yours.

If he never plays here again, please don't post an "I was right". I think we all realize this is a possibility.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

But, as fans, we deserve to know all the players’ personal matters!!!

Such a strong take it didn’t need the sarcasm font. Well done.

I am sure you have lots of people you never met trolling social media to learn about your life. Bad take.

good post. Pena is a huge loss. He has spent countless hours with Kyle. You can't replace that regardless of talent. He is in my opinion our most important O player after Kyle

There’s more to it than that.

Thank you Chip. I meant to make this post, but occasionally work distracts me from my duties on syracusefan.com. I don't think many of us have to worry about random fans getting all in our business in our DMs etc on social media.

I think this would be more likely if we had Nixon available still. We also need receiving production out of the backfield.

 

[FreakTalksAboutSU]

I wish him the best. Hope we see him again in Orange when he is ready.

Moving on.

There doesn’t have to be. I also have a hard time believing this kid played 4 years of high school ball and never learned how to play the position.

Pretty sure he missed a year of high school football.
Getting off the line blocks, catching the ball, fighting off the defender for the ball, timing with the QB.

Zeed is a huuuge loss! In this game we need him...Its not an easy hole to fill. It takes quality experience + elite talent to be able to fly down the field, look back & up into the sky filled with artificial lights, find that small football cruising through the air and catch it...Meanwhile D1 football players are trying to prevent you from being successful. Its very hard.

Besides better pass blocking we miss Zeed. Mccord cant just drop back and launch a fly pattern with trust.
Pitt is literally pinning back to crush mccord and containing short passes. We went once deep that shoulda been TD dropped by OG.

Im done, those edibles sneek up on ya. After 2nd pick 6 I gobbled one up. Id like to sleep tonight.
