Team Reaction to Kaaya

Underwhelming response to Kaaya

I got that vibe from Wolford. If your TE or you LT doesn't like you, you will have a long day as a QB!

The ****? Are you saying that the TE won't catch for him and the LT won't block for him?

They are probably skeptical of how he will handle the big stage on Labor Day night.. I'm still shocked.

Bah. It's a veteran squad out there. No reason to get all hyped up especially if Heaps is a friend.

this is football people make mistakes. Golden lived and died with Morris i dont expect that to change with brad

Heaps must be at the local bar getting sauced.

Yes, the Mormon is probably doing just that.

might get better responses from the defenders. most WRs would prefer not to have a frosh throwing to them.

Cot****. Get this thread together or we'll just lock this and start a new one. The team's reaction to Kaaya is actually an important and interesting topic.

Might just be they don't like being upstaged and outhyped by a guy who just got here and hasn't proven himself yet. I'm sure they like him; just don't like 2 minutes of questions about him when they're thinking of their own top 3 round pick type of year. Once he puts up W's and TDs in their stat lines they'll be more glowing.

i was really surprised by waters' words about kaaya, and clive also didn't seem to be very excited about the news.

Those boys want to win. I think they, like me, are very skeptical about putting any true frosh behind center in that environment. But, you got to defer to the coaches. Really ballsy move and no way they make it unless Kaaya is the goods. If he wins this game and performs admirably, this team will go to war for that kid.

Part of the issue with the players is that they found out from the media rather than their coaches. They were put in a bad spot to answer questions about something/decision they didn't know about. And let's face it who wins the starting QB battle is a big deal for the team.

IMHO The players should have been told before the media.

 

[kendallcanes]

Kaaya needs to earn their respect. Win and they will follow.

 

[Dwinstitles]

Heaps is trash lol

You're a nole fan. We all have our crosses to bare.

A Nole fan would never be capable of the Jordan Scalett commitment video. Dwins might be the biggest Cane can of all.

Ty sir, gotta figure a way to get back in that apartment again for a week 1 breakdown.

Not likely. He's from Utah and played at BYU. What about those facts don't you understand?

Exactly...a bunch of f'in 5 year olds in here

I find the players' reactions a bit puzzling given what has been said by those who watch practice. Usually, you want to ride with the guy who's playing better, but I do understand that these guys probably think in absolute terms like "older and experienced is more likely to be successful in X situation." I don't find that to be necessarily true, but I understand their perspectives.

Check time of possession last year. We were UNDER 26 to the other teams' 34+. Now tell me the O wasn't running the D into the ground. They were playing more than half a quarter more per game than the O, because the O couldn't convert 3rd downs. I'm not saying I like the D performance, but when you are thin on depth, talent, and experience, being on the field 34+ minutes a game will take a severe toll.

Kaaya wont be worse than morris. That dummy lost the team and the defense was partially run into the ground because of him.

Stupid **** like this boils the blood. Defense ran into the ground because of No D.

While I would have phrased it differently, I agree with the notion that the O ran the D into the ground. Its not srupid if its the truth
As many 3 and outs as there were - they were just gassed all too often.
