Diaz comments on second scrimmage

[mr.h]

There is also a 75% chance with our ****ty OL that Jarren is going to get knocked out of a few series, and possibly several games. I trust Martell to pick up the slack.

I haven’t heard a word about putting in a FB for block protection for the QB and to open holes for the run game..

Talking bout how they gave up. He said a lot of players in the first half had a defeated look on them which he’s trying to eradicate from the program.

That's why so much of what Manny said had to do with mental aspects. Obvious that Manny's big task, or one of them, was instilling new mentality into offense and special teams (no more 20 yard punts).

Leadership ability might have a lot to do with who ends up at QB.

Imo the starter won’t be announced. Have a feeling Manny wants the Turds to prepare for all 3. I wouldn’t have an issue with that.

There is nothing different to prepare for, regardless of who the starter is. That's failed logic.

I'm just happy we haven't suffered any major injuries in these preseason practices (knock on wood). IIRC Nesta is the only one who's been injured in fall camp so far. Hopefully there are no surprise suspensions for Week 0, but all I care about in preseason is staying healthy.

You don't know they were trash. You didn't see the scrimmage. All you got was Manny's spin. No matter how good a scrimmage really is, Manny will always dwell on any deficiencies or shortcomings.

You're just like so many neurotic fans on here.

Saban always complains about practices.

I think a lot of it is coachspeak. Every coach will always talk about things that still need work.

Scrimmage might have been far from great, but I doubt it was "trash "

Realistically all he got was the writers spin on Mannys comments... ... But I agree with your post..

If they can pull it off - go for it. Clearly an advantage vs Florida. But Dan Mullen seems shady enough that he would find out by any means necessary, and of all people I’m sure Manny is aware of that.

Mullet’s got his hands full with suspensions and criminal behavior, as usual.

Very little info, tons of assumptions. CIS at it’s best

People literally taking no information and then pretending it’s something and then using the pretend information in their heads to make final conclusions about the state of the program

The most bizarre shid ever.

Its annoying AF to read.

Manny Diaz - I want my players to be comfortable on camera and have a social media presence

Cis- Manny must have chosen Nkosi as Qb. He post home videos on snap chat so he definitely comfortable and got a social media hype.

 

[SCarolina Ibis]

I was a Tate fan early on...but doesn't it seem at this point that Jarren is better than the other two??? More consistent, throws a better ball, maybe not as elusive as the other two but has speed, etc. I feel like if you just start Tate "because you don't want to start a redshirt freshman against UF" then that itself is a cop out.

Hopefully that's not what they're thinking. Just wouldn't make sense. Don't want to start a redshirt freshman QB, but a true freshman LT is ok?

What about manny saying no one did anything in the first half.

 

[Pentagon Cane]

Oh so we’re bama now?

Of course not, but he is demonstrating a key characteristic of all very successful college head coaches--ruthlessness in the pursuit of winning.

He should be used to it... this is not his first rodeo in Jailville

 

[ThomasM]

I said this **** last week. Pick a guy so we can move and get steppin’

The offense is in flux with all the uncertainty

Ideally, this would be best. I have a bad feeling about picking a starter as the team is heading out of the tunnel on 8/24. Whoever the starter is, they need the bulk of the practices, and very soon. It's a shame no one is stepping up and taking it. I do believe Diaz is in a hard spot here, because he doesn't want to give the job to someone that hasn't stepped up.

5-7

Your post was truncated .... I’ve recovered the full version for you

The number of dlcks I suck each day is between 5-7

Pressure busts pipes & makes diamonds...

I'm glad he's being hard on them, it's what they need.

Keep pushing until they show you exactly what they're made of, don't crown'em & make'em think that they've arrived.

Practice & scrimmages should be as hard as possible, because when game time comes your opponent isn't gonna go easy on you. Every championship team in both College & the NFL all say that their practices were harder than the actual games.

Don't let up one bit, if it takes until 15min before kickoff keep drilling it in their head that they need to be better & they must compete at all costs as if their life depended on it... No other standard will be accepted, that how you toughen them up for battle, that's how you win.

Excellent take. The difference between winning and losing is culture in most cases. At least Diaz sees the symptoms and understands the disease. Set a high standard and hold them accountable. One punch in the chops and this team has folded and rarely been able to recover.

 

[WeBallinBoyz]

It's obvious that Manny and Enos are deciding between Jarren or Nkosi... and i'm ready to ride with either one.

Dude you might be mentally handicapped cause N'Kosi is the only QB who's turned it over multiple times both scrimmages

 

[Pentagon Cane]

What is this disease Diaz says infects some players on da team?

"Where in the past, when things have not gone well, there would sort of be a tanking for the game."

Sounds like folding under pressure and getting that glazed over look in your eyes... and throwing interceptions to the other team.

Can’t win like that. Don’t care who the QB is.

Trevon Hill seems to be coming back into football shape quickly, that's what I got.
