I think we will still throw a lot this year because our WRs are too big of playmakers to leave them out of the offense. I'm sure the reads will be dumbed down but you still have to get the ball to Coley, Dorsett, and the rest of the guys.

So we'll be seeing the same offense we saw last season?

From what I gathered it seemed like Coley had to scale back the playbook for Snickers.

What's the over/under on WR screens per game?

I don't think Olsen has that job locked up at all.

Kaaya was hand picked by Coley...if anyone doesn't think he isn't going to get a LONG hard look they are out of their minds. What has me worried about Olsen is his propensity for turnovers...mainly via bad overthrows. Let's keep in mind he's throwing these picks against what is more likely than not going to be an average at best defense.

I think it's 50/50 he starts. The fact he has a year on Kaaya doesn't mean a thing since he's making the same mistakes a straight-outta-high-schooler would make as well. We're going to run the ball a ton this year so whichever QB manages the game better with fewer mistakes is going to start that first game against UL

Please, Al went with Harris, Morris, was going with Williams. Crow has better shot than Kaaya -- Al likes him some older dudes. I like Kaaya, but if Olsen can't beat him off, we are in trouble. Not saying I don't like Brad, I love the kid's attitude and he has skills. Just saying, it is a better sign if the staff actually has a starter on team already. I am tired of wavier wire. How much better would it be having Collins between Duke and Joe. We struck out Al's first two years at QB recruits, if Olsen sucks that make three years-- what makes you think Kaaya is any good then.
 
"Just getting us into the right play," he said. "I've probably thrown maybe four picks all spring, including the scrimmages. I'm trying, if something's not there, to check it down, get us four yards, five yards. You check it down to Duke (Johnson) and he can take it the distance. When stuff is not there not trying to force the deep ball so it becomes an interception and now we're sitting on the sideline and the defense is back out on the field. It's just all that stuff I think I'm getting better at."

dear baby Jesus, let this be true

This is different. Morris starting over Williams last year isn't the same thing or a fair comparison. They took Williams as a transfer after the scheme at his school changed to more of a read option.

Kaaya was handpicked. Remember....right after the dead period we had 2 guys up in the air which were both considered major priorities - Kaaya and Valentine. The first visit they made immediately after the dead period was Kaaya. He was obviously their #1 priority.

I just haven't seen anything out of Olsen that screams he has an advantage over anyone at this point. He's the #1 right now because of lack of options.

Options arrive in the summer. I can't outright pick Kaaya to win the job because I've never seen him play. All I've seen are the same highlights everyone else has seen. The only thing I'm saying is Olsen isn't a sure thing starter. Kaaya is going to get every chance to beat him out.

With the weapons we have on offense we just need a guy who won't create excess turnovers. We'll see what happens in the late summer practices.
