ellitor 33,107 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Can't remember if I've seen anyone else touch on it but Seth apparently had a hamstring injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WFE12 9,191 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 So Nix has one legit interception so that's fine. Any word on Seth's injury? I would think it's not serious since no one has reported yet. WRs have been bad last fall camp and the spring camp even without injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was about to post on this but if the reports of Brown & Davidson only taking 10 snaps while the 1st team was out there is true then & I'm worried since that implied the 1st team OL was actually dominated by some 2nd teamers. Oregon’s DL doesn’t scare me at all. If we struggle against them then we won’t win many games in the SEC. I’m still hopeful they’ll get it together. No way they can be worse than the last two years imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't necessarily think it's unfair because it's done to prevent injury. I see it just as a disadvantage for any QB to notb e able to go live.

I think it equally is a disadvantage to both but I understand why the need not to go live. Like I said before, even NFL teams don’t let the QBs get hit in practice. Now, this would be different if neither QB never went live all spring, summer or fall but that is not the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, Gus said as much earlier this week (no live QBs). I know that it would be a huge gamble to have them go live that could backfire tremendously. I guess the negatives would outweigh the positives in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could easily argue that not going live is of greater benefit to Gatewood than it is for Nix, it just depends on how you want to look at it.

I think the opposite. Gatewood, the less polished passer, can show his ability more w/ live rushes so coaches can see his ability to escape the rush, pass on the run and also run the option. there would also be a better feel for his down field passing if he knew he had to find a WR, throw it, before he gets hit... Not going live for Gatewood may give a false sense of improvement and success. JMO... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got a guy 6’5 nearly 240 and still little raw as a passer that is restricted to a Stidham type passing offense. Nawwww Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was making quality passes without the need to run, wouldn’t that make him even more dangerous with the ability to run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nawwww You take a way a player's strengths and force them to work on their weaknesses. It's almost like this is practice, and the goal is to get better. If you are defending a point guard who favors his right hand, you force him to his left. If you are coaching him, you do the exact same thing. It's actually pretty logical.

Oh no, how terrible of me to show that some of those you listed are not good QBs. You dont build sustained success off of nick marshals. If you did, Paul Roads would kickass. Hurts couldn't even hold onto his starting job after 3 years and multiple nattys. How terrible that he lose his job to a worse runner, but better QB.

How does a QB react when he is about to get teed off on. Stidham is doing amazing now in the NFL when he can bounce around 5 seconds. What about when he is allowed to get hit?

Win4AU 4,054 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 @ellitor How far back are Brahms, Stutts, Hamm, or any of the other backup OL in a development standpoint from the current starters? Most of the 2s have been around at least a season now and should be getting it by now. I’ve also heard some of these younger guys are meaner than some of the current starters.

DAG 33,997 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 For example, in 2010, when we had the cam back, Cam Newton couldn't just run all over Bama. We had to pass the ball to win that game. 90 percent he could do that, but there will come a time where you won't be able to just use your legs to open things up.
