Probably not spinning as much because Joey redshirted and Bo was an early enrollee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

passthebiscuits 6,859 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Gatewood looking great. Obvious leader for the team. WR group 1 look incredible. Offensive line Driscoll still a concern IMO. RBs are awesome. Defense, young and going to make some coverage mistakes. Worried about pass rush. DBs thin. Noah is my favorite player. Carlson looks more confident. Should be interesting with punt returns. Probably Tutt as he looks comfortable. looking okay on injuries. Knock on wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBiGGiE 2,488 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I feel that, unlike other true Freshmen, we have an idea of how good Bo Nix is. And if Joey Gatewood gets the start, then that's great news because it means he's that much better than what we think Bo Nix is. So I guess my takeaway is: I feel good if Nix is the starter, but I feel even better if Gatewood can notch ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mind expanding on the worry of pass rush? I did expect for that to be a deficiency this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJ was a big loss. I know it’s hard for Freshmen to contribute on the D-line, but I’m hoping between Colby Wooden, and the Mississippi guys Hall/Moore/Handy, a couple of them can get after the QB.

I wasn't encouraged by Garner's comments about Moultry the other day, but I really like what I heard from one of the other players. I think he might surprise and I put my money where my mouth is in the Man Crush thread, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that would likely be the most strategic scenario for this year if Joey plays well. As a first-year starter with extremely limited experience, he needs all the reps he can get to be ready for the back nine of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know some people don't believe that there's much to be gained from playing these teams, but I think they are going to be extremely important for our young quarterback - and other young players. Reps are reps. Think about it from just a communication standpoint. We're breaking in new signal callers on both sides of the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win4AU 4,054 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 We all know it takes about 4 games to really get the offense going. Texas A&M will be breaking in a lot of new players on D.

Texas A&M will be breaking in a lot of new players on D. Get past Oregon and TaMu and lets see how things are going. I would love to see Gus start trying to implement the complete package in Game 1, and with the second team if we get far enough ahead to give them real playing time. IF the offense has been instilled properly in Spring and Fall camp, why would he not start allowing the team to start practicing it against real opponents? Even against cupcakes where it might not be "needed" it would allow the team to be more comfortable with it when real tests arise. One of my big frustrations with Gus is when he puts in the second team, or just the second team QB, and handcuffs them to vanilla play calls. It seems to me that the second team would be more comfortable with the offense when/if they are called on to substitute in or forced up due to injury.

However, if Joey is just stinking up the place every practice leading up to the game, then so be it Makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
