Robenson Therezie has found a home. It's probably a bit frustrating in light of Justin Garrett's remarkable acclimation to the hybrid position, but at least the staff knows where Therezie fits now. He's a phenomenal talent -- a thick, compact hitter with excellent acceleration -- but he doesn't have the coverage intuition needed at cornerback. At the hybrid spot, Therezie can be a hell-on-wheels pass rusher and an addition to the Tigers' ability to tackle in the open field. I expect Ellis Johnson to design packages that allow Garrett and Therezie to play concurrently.

I never understood why he wasn't being utilized in a way similar to what LSU did with TM. It's a perfect role for his abilities, and would allow him to wreck things off the edge with his explosiveness and physicality.

He's got an arm. On his hudl highlights, he runs backwards roughly 10-15 yards and throws a 60 yard bomb off his back foot that went for a touchdown. I agree, I think we'll find out about his accuracy when he gets on campus.

Hopefully he can jump in and learn quickly...

I mentioned this a few pages back. They both seem to be performing too well not to be on the field. Maybe we can go with a small package that moves Garrett to LB and Therezie at Star (Not all of the time just in certain scenarios). As far NM goes he may be on par passing wise, but he would run circles around KF and JW.

Johnson has already done that in our dime package.

Really hard to judge based on that. His defense was always getting beat so bad that he had to take many gambles just to stat in games.

Just took a look at his stats. And mainly, his interceptions that everyone was freaking out about.

15 of his 20 INTs came in games in which the defense gave up 49+ points.

28-28 at half.
49-35 @ end of the 3rd.
Interceptions: 1 in the 2nd Q, 1 in the 3rd Q, 2 in the 4th Q.
1st INT came when Garden City was up 21-13.

3rd INT came when down 56-42.

@ Butler: L 84-13: 21-35, 213 yds, 2 TDs, 3 INTs

Interceptions came in the 2nd, 3rd, & 4th.
Garden City was down 42-13 when he threw the 1st INT with 20 secs left in the half.

Interceptions came in the 1st & 2nd. 1st one was on a 4th down conversion attempt.
21-10 @ half.
49-17 @ end of the 3rd.

No use Joey. I've been saying it since we started recruiting the guy and nobody is smart enough to give a damn.

Most people are going to be pessimistic about this based on our current QB situation and the fact that he was only a 3 star with a bunch of interceptions. Doesn't matter how bad his team was. I think most on here understand his situation but try telling that to other fans or rival fans and see where that gets you. It will just seem like you are making excuses.

---

I am more worried about the fact that he wasn't in position to be successful. It seem likely at this point that we will have a few games in which we are done more than a handful of points at some point. I would prefer not to have INT and forced throws to "catch up."


I still think JWall or NM will be QB and won't be disappointed.

I really want JJ to come around fast and play

JJ is extremely raw and a freshman.

When is the last time a TRUE (We ain't talking Johnny Manziel fake FR) freshman came in and played at a level acceptable to where we want to be?

On the other hand, a number of JUCO QBs have come in and done well in the past. Maturity, higher competitino level, more familiarity with complex schemes, physical maturity and often they are on campus earlier (say summer as opposed to fall)
