Golden says QB has to be more accurate.....

I just finished making Morris a 1sr rounder on NCAA14.. For real though. No coach is going to come out and say we are awesome let's play... You will never hear a coach that is satisfied, unless they just won the final game of the season. He wants everyone to improve and that's the bottom line. Stephen Morris is the Captain of this offense and he should want him to better.

On a side note, when we were on top of the world, our defenses always domintated our offenses, so maybe we are headed in the right direction. Just a thought. :)

All about his footwork. Watch the width of his stance. Same issue for 3 years. He's ok with it until the pressure comes from the interior (like most QBs).

On the upside, we're apparently generating pressure from the interior. So, there's that.
 
Sounds like coach-speak that you want to hear: a guy actually expecting more from his team. Imagine that

This will be a very tough scrimmage tomorrow, golden is motivating Morris to come out and torch the D & the defense want to stop the offense after they got beat in the first scrimmage. All I want to hear after the scrimmage is that Morris stepped up to the constructive criticizer by Al & the defense tackled better and played fast.

Exactly.....

If Stephen Morris goes out and lights up the defense, then Golden is going to say "i'm disappointed at how the defense played, they need to step it up."

If the defense steps up and causes a few turnovers, which is what Al Golden also wants, then he's going to say "i'm disappointed at how the offense played, they need to step it up."

Jedd Fisch was a very good QB coach. Don't know how good Coley is, but expectations for SM should be tempered until after the UF game. We should have an idea of what kind of QB he will be after that game.

Not for nothin' but Coley produced two first round draft picks as a QB coach/pseudo OC, and Jacory is a 3rd stringer in Canada.

Just playing Devil's advocate.
 
The Don has been a little edgy lately. He's clearly sending messages to the team via the press because he thinks guys might be getting a little sloppy with their technique. I take everything football corches say to the press with a giant boulder of salt. Every QB needs work on his accuracy unless he's completing 100% of his passes. When the bullets start flying, El Girafe' will be one of our least concerns.

Did any of you actually read the quotes? It sounds to me like he is talking about drops. You don't typically say things like:

"...With the experience that we have, with the protection we're getting and the type of quarterback we have leading us, there's no excuse for that."

to convey that the QB needs to be more accurate.

Agree

Chise, I can go all Asian Joe Namath and guarantee that when Golden gets things rolling here, you will never, ever hear one of our guys ever utter lines like,"Well, y'know I didn't bring my A-game last week," like Vilma did during that malaise filled year of 2002 under Coker

I welcome this new hard-nosed, never satisfied mentality at Miami

I think Golden is like a great jockey in this regard, he knows when to coax and he knows when to go to the whip....

The expectations are outrageous to be honest. He's got plenty left to prove.

I agree. Well, if he was still throwing short of the chains on every third down, Golden would have mentioned it, so maybe his accuracy is a good problem, if it means his other, worse problems are better?
 
Golden the master of his domain just pressed Up-Up-Down-Down-Left-Right-Left-Right B, A, Start on Morris's buttons.

Jacory didn't have the physical talent to play in the NFL.

But yes I'm excited to see what Coley can do.
 
I like to listen to other coaches around CFB...Saban on Tuesday sounded the same as Al....its on the players now...

Then he becomes "The Mummy", and not the fast one like the remake or the Hammer/Christopher Lee ones, but the slow, sack taking Karloff mummy.

I love the fact thatGolden will accept nothing less than perfection.
If the team is doing great, they are still not where he wants them to be.
He said yesterday he's really worried about the offensive line because we don't have 10 starters in the 2 deep. We only have 7.
Gotta love this guy.
He's worried about everything until he has 22 starters on offense and defense, then he'll be worried about something else.
Even if we go 14-0, we will still be "not where we want to be."

Works for me.

I mean, if Golden came out and said "I think we're all good" two weeks in to camp we would all want him fired. There is always room to improve and good coaches are by definition perfectionists. The tackling will never be good enough. Until the completion % is 100%, it won't be good enough. We are all just chomping at the bit for the season to start and any thing that gets said / any clip we see gets read into more and more with each day.

Very good.

Good point BUT perhaps just perhaps Morris DOES has to be a bit more accurate! It is not a far fetched statement because in the past accuracy has been his Achilles heel. He has smarts, leadership, and big time gun. With all the talent we have we do need him to be accurate. IMO a fair statement if indeed it was meant that way.

If we played a west coast, dink and dunk offense and he's at 55-58%, I'd say we have an issue, but we chuck it deep quite a bit. An intermediate throw seems to be 25-30 yards on a rope.
Last year we threw intermediate and deep more than any other team I saw during the year. If you factor in all the balls bouncing off our receivers hands I'd say Morris' % would have been over 60%.
