Sometimes the QB throws a well-placed ball that the DB can't get Sometimes the QB throws a decent ball that the DB can deflect but not INT. Nobody will penalize him for a PBU in this situation.

| 3 years 36 weeks ago | Really, we're already underestimating App State AGAIN? |
App State is just as good as the Utah we saw. The Utah we saw was not a top 15 team people. Oh, and App. State would have killed Miami OH. |
| 3 years 36 weeks ago | I think you should -1 them |
Certain dropped passes are understandable. However, most CBs also played WR in H.S., and it's not like they don't go through catching drills in practice. Catching balls IS part of your job if you're a CB/S. And if the pass is a floater, or if you get a clean break on the ball and it hits you in the hands, you blew it. Should be a -1, it sure as hell hurts the team more than any other -1. |

Best: Ezeh, Johnson, Jamison Worst: oh man, probably the whole O line Surprisingly good: Minor Surprisingly mediocre: D. Warren |

From what I understand, full pads practices begin on the 4th. However, they have been doing drills and 7-on-7s for some time now. And this makes sense, because there's no way they could go from no practicing to game-ready in less than a month. And sorry for the "son" comment, I always thought it was funny when other people said it. :D Not trying to argue, just trying to give what I've been told. I actually hadn't heard that Threet wasn't running well in practice, so my inferences are based on this unreliable piece of info. But I'm pretty certain that Threet will remain the starter if and only if RRod feels he can operate the read option with some minimum level of efficiency. Now if he can do that, I'm sure RRod will tweak to give him more passes for his strength too, but he's got to be able to run the basic scheme. |

I'm well aware that RRod has run the passing spread very well in the past. He has also had great success with the read option, and so one might think he would be willing to implement either/or depending on his quarterback. And to be fair, he has said he will adjust his plans to suit the talent. However, this does not mean he will adjust his offense to THREET, which would be contradicted by the facts. When one looks at the QBs RRod has recruited to date - Feagin, Newsome, Beaver - what is the trait they all share? Passing prowess or running prowess? Granted each of them can do some of both, but at least 2 of those 3 (Feagin, Newsome) are significantly better at the running portion of the QB role. Further, all reports from practices are that they are spending an immense amount of time running the read option. When you combine these two facts, it would seem a strong indication that he's looking to implement the WVU offense moreso than the Tulane offense, and that he's looking to do it sooner rather than later. If you really think that RRod will waste all that practice time and set the development of his preferred offense back by putting together a pass-only spread for a QB who is only marginally better than another QB on the roster who can actually run his preferred offense...well you're crazy. Threet will most likely get a chance, and if he can run the read option wish some efficiency, I'm sure the job will be his. He doesn't have to be fast, just to execute. If he can't execute well enough in the run game to have the proper effect on the defense, do you really doubt that RRod will bring in another QB who can? Edit: the formatting sucks for Firefox 3. |
