re: I hope Florida...

I think too many people have written off UF. They still have one of the most talented rosters in the country, and Brantley is the kind of QB that fits into Weiss system very well. We all know Muschamp is a helluva defensive coach.

UF will not be a push over, and I would not be surprized to see them win the East (which isn't too hard lately).

So why didn't Notre Dame and Army change to yellow?

Yall are reading recruiting sites when I'm actually talking to some of these kids face to face. Most of the elite talent coming up in LA doesn't have faith in Trent that he'll turn the program around or that he can develop them for the next level.


OK. Why don't you give us some insight into why the kids feel this way? I mean since you're such an insider. Is it because they don't like him personally or they don't believe he can make them better players?

Jeez, that kind of energy bowling in the hallway? Needs to put that into his recruiting trips. This year will tell us something. I won't pack it up just because of one recruit (albeit one very good recruit)

Great for him. He is capable of making an impact on the next level. And the Pats are pretty much the best organisation to play for.

I wonder how the new rookie payscales effect him?

does it bother anyone else that jj validates his performance with statements like this?


Not at all. He is likely the starting QB for an NC contender team.

Do you prefer him to say "It is likely that I will be the winningest QB in Tiger history, but it has nothing to do with me. I am the weakest part of the team."

The only reason that teams get a shot at the NCG is their BCS ranking. That ranking is somewhat dependant on preseason projections. He should at every chance project confidence in his abilities. If he doesn't, then he should be on the bench.

The title of the thread is extremely misleading. They are reporting nothing new and confirming NOTHING.

It is basically a journalist taking a shot at another journalist's integrity. It is the media version of a cat fight.

NOTHING TO SEE HERE. MOVE ON.

That was amazing. If he has good hands, he could be a stud WR.

I also like 1:09 where he sheds off 3 successive blockers and still makes a TFL

re: The biggest and the most interesting

DT battle is the most critical imo. With our LB corps being the weak link in the D, we will need our DTs to step up big time for run defense. Freak Johnson's battle makes this spot the biggest position battle.

As far as most interesting, I think the battle for punt returner will be that. We have a lot of stud skill players who could be homerun threats in the return game. Mo? RR? Gore? Shep? Any of these could take it to the house.
Dude. Just a pure hustle play. He didn't know if the Pats would be able to get the ball back or stop them or what. He didn't care. He made a play for the sake of the game.

That's what it's all about. The outcome of the game be damned. People will remember that play before they remember the score of the game.

And clearly a case of unhealthy man-boy obsession. Kids choose colleges for a lot of reasons, and I tell you what: if I was faced with a choice of getting free room, board, and education in Baton Rouge or Southern Cal, it wouldn't take much encouragment to pack my bags. The only thing going for local kids is being close to family and maybe some of these guys don't like their family that much.

Short story long: McKnight picked the wrong horse in that race though.

I was also shocked how they actually tried to make them run the play for the extra point!


I completely forgot about this. What a joke! Every tiger ran off the field like they just robbed a bank. Take the W and run.

re: Who starts opposite Sam Montgomery?

Go with Adams or Edwards opposite of Montgomery and when it's 3rd/long go with Mingo and Montgomery on the outside or if we go to Mustang. During Mustang I expect to see Mingo/Montgomery on the outside almost every time with a penetrator on the inside like Freak or Downs.


Good gawd its gonna be fun watching Sam and Mingo coming off the edges on 3rd and 7. Who's going to have the nut sack to call a pass with that scenario? Then with our cover corners, its going to be a real gamble any time they throw. Get ready for a lot of draws and screens next season.

Personally I think Edwards will be the starter in the season opener. Just haven't heard or seen much from Adams. If we can develop some run stuffing DTs (looking at you Freak) this could be an outstanding D.

I haven't paid much attention to Mo in run support. Anybody have an idea how good he is? Tyrann seems to be more than adequate on his side.

re: Worst starting QB in Saints history?

Posted by Cussian on 7/15/11 at 10:50 am
Ive been watching since the Bum Philips days when we would get embarrassed by Seifert and Montana twice a year. Based on who Ive watched and without looking at stats, Dave Wilson was the epitome of frustration. God he was awful.

:sarcasm: thanks for the memories
/sarcasm

Oh, and Brooks was sadly one of our better QBs. I don't want to put him over Hebert but his stats do look better and he won us a playoff game with a worse defense.
First of all, I could not believe they were subbing out Lee for Jefferson after that pass. I mean, how hard could it be to hand off the damn ball? What could Jefferson have possibly added to that? Then they were in shotgun and the veins started popping out of my neck, but I didn't lose it cuz my 7 year old was watching with me. Then I saw JJ wandering around the field like a drunk retarded gopher and I lost my shite. Screamed, yelled, cussed as the ball sailed past JJ. I threw my cap and turned off the TV and just laughed thinking about how Miles was going to bumblefrick his way through the post game interviews. I was so tickled by the thought of deciphering his gibberish, I had to turn the TV back on. That's when I saw LSU lined up for another play and it was a real out of body experience when they punched it through. It took me a while to figure out what happened. I felt great but was still pissed at Miles and JJ and myself for acting like a seven year old in front of my seven year old.

The season got better though but it was a while before my son wanted to watch the games. I hope he comes around. Then again maybe its better for him not to get into it that much.

Ware has great vision and has very flexible hips and is agile...and good enough speed and power (with his low base)...ergo, he is elusive and hard to brings down.


Agreed. But you can have more agile hips than a cheetah and it won't mean jack unless you can use them. To do that, you have to be able to see the field peripherally, quickly interpret movement, anticipate what the defender is doing, then get the messages to your muscles to move them. If you can do this in milliseconds, then that is what I mean by instinct.

In the Cotton Bowl, Ware made extremely quick decisions, very efficient moves, and found open space consistently. Ergo, he has shown better "instinct" than Ford.

Either way, they will make a good combo on the field. I just think Ware has the complete package.
:cheers:
Ford and Ware are both special backs. What I think makes Ware better are his instincts. When he hits a hole, it's almost like he anticipates it opening up. Very fast to the hole. Same thing with a defender. He seems to naturally get the balance and timing of a hit to make the defender miss or get a few extra yards. Ware also has pretty good hands. I really think he's going to be special.

Ford is strong and fast, but I haven't seen him do the same things as Ware consistently.
