my bad black shirts are only for the defense... that **** won't work on Bush/Carter

 

[Cribby]

Does this jersey switching stuff work?

I think it worked at first when he got here and now on the younger guys that come in it works. its to motivate the guys to bring out there best.it doesnt work on the older guys who know they will start.

I know why they do it, I was curious if it works.

I just look at as their way of saying, you are not doing everything you can do if you are not in the black or orange. I see it as a way of making sure they know and everyone else knows that more is expected of them.

It definitely works. Right when I downgrade my girlfriend from a black apron, the next time I come home there's a great supper and the house is spotless.

I'm gonna leave something here and remember I said it. Don't be surprised if Kaaya is the starter that this Heaps guy is gonna throw a fit and leave.

Leave and go where exactly? Going to leave when he is 1 play away from being the starter (if Kaaya wins the job)

Throw enough **** at the way and eventually some sticks.

Wow u got so amped up typing that you completely missed the word if. Heaps has a history of leaving schools so how off base was the thought of him leaving?

I know exactly what his post said.

And like I said, where is he going to go? And why would he leave?

I couldnt tell where but i do know when williams returns what does that mean for a guy who didnt come here to play back up?

 

[Anonymous274945958675743]

If Kaaya starts is what I'm saying.

Kaaya is my pick at QB.

But I'm speaking the hypothetical. Don't be surprised, we've had it happen before. I really could see Heaps leaving if Kaaya gets the job. The guy has left two programs already, don't let anything slip you.

Do you realize how stupid that sounds? Heaps has put everything into this since he arrived. You're saying this guy who has 1 year left is just going to give up? Ummmm no dumbass he's gonna stick around because who is gonna get a shot if something happens to brad? Williams may not be ready. -.- good to see you put thought into that.

I'd be willing to bet it will work with TH when two other dudes are CB's. He got abused on that run by Trayone, and did his usual head down weak tackling. I love his game, but his tackling needs work. So I think it would work there.... anyone who takes pride in what they do it should work on. Don't be surprised to hear about a few monster hits by DP if he don't get his back soon, yeah I'm talking to you Gus Bus... you might want to talk to the coaches to make sure he don't get too ****ed about not having his black jersey...lol

Pretty sure if Tracy got abused that play would have been part of the plays of day. Or at least mentioned in the camp notebook. Tracy grabbed Gray's ankle/foot and at least slowed him down if not completely tripping him up.

Howard and Bush are lazy tacklers. Have not been impressed at all with either. Watch their body language away from the action. They dog it big time.

We coming. We going to surprise.

That's a horrific poo fling of a post. At least you did it in less than 16000 words.

HOW short is Heaps?!

Listed at 6'1", so probably around 6'

Heard he's 5'10 - 5'11

What's the average on our OL?

5'8", so we're good with Heaps.

I'd love to see 5' 8" 260 pound Cuban guys as our OL. That'd be hilarious. That's basically the type of OLine that gave Marcus Forston fits during his all-world HS senior campaign. We can run stretch plays and have the OL distract defenders with croquetas and pastelitos.

 

[Miami82]

We coming. We going to meet expectations finally.

FIFY

 

[bomb]

What's the average on our OL?

Maybe 6'5

Works fine for Drew Brees and Jonny M.

And just about no one else on the planet.

In the NFL, but it sure worked for a lot of guys in college. Shaun King was under 6 feet (actual height, I knew him at Tulane, though he was listed at 6-1) and he set NCAA records for QB efficiency. Joe Hamilton was 5-10, and was a Heisman candidate at Ga Tech. Heck, Brock Berlin was listed at 6-1, and that's being generous, and he had a very good senior year for us in 2004. There are plenty of others too in college who were very short, and did just fine.

The fact that you had to use Shaun King from mid major Tulane and Joe Hamilton from GT, both from nearly 20 years ago says more than any reply I could whip up. Add in the fact that OL we're on average 2" shorter back then than they are now and you have a compounding problem. There are always outliers, but if you are depending on a longshot to come in, you're going to lose your job. Give me a legit 6'3"+ all day at QB please and thank you.

Russell Wilson also. There's a few short qbs out there

This. Where else could he even have a chance at playing? This is his final year of eligibility and it's not like he can drop in somewhere else and learn a playbook in a couple days. I think if Heaps gets the nod, Olsen stays but if Kaaya gets the nod, Olsen leaves.

Shaun King might have been at Tulane, but I would have taken him at Miami in a heartbeat. He broke NCAA records, and burned some really good defenses in 1997 and 1998. Joe Hamilton was a Heisman candidate, so I'm not sure why you knock GT. He lit up national champion FSU in '99.

But, if you want to call them outliers, fine. How about last year? Out of the Top 10 passing leaders in FBS last year, the #5, 6, 7, 8 and 10 ranked QBs were under 6-2.

Lastly, I don't really care what you'd rather have. I'd much rather have a 6-5, 220 QB too. That was never my point. It wasn't an either / or. It was one or the other. It was me showing that shorter QBs can (and have, and still do) have A LOT of success in college football.
