Offensive line trouble - David Wunderlich Film Study (CSU vs UF)

[jhbyrd]

RG SR Fred Johnson is the weak link. Not quick and making errors in other prior games. The OG back ups are Freshman Bleich and RS SO LG Heggie.

Can Heggie play RG? How is his injury recovery progressing? The freshman Bleich may make more errors but is very strong for his age.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Even 2008 Tebow made some bad plays every other week or so.

I heard his completion ratio wasn't quite 100% either.

Those boys have had 3 different OL coaches and they're still ass! The only thing that will fix our OL problems is them not being on it anymore and an infusion of top tier talent. Most of our OL isn't SEC caliber but instead group of 5 caliber!

New top tier OL talent certainly is needed.

To be fair , the 3 coaches is not the player's fault and it does not help when you are taught different techniques and or systems.

Fred Johnson does seem confused a lot but at least he gives effort. Ivey dogs it constantly.

Any QB who isn't 100% sucks.

I'm not sure what people expected with Franks this year. I guess they were imagining 2008 Tebow.

Agree that Franks should not be proficient in a brand new system. He is better than last season but that is a low bar.

My issue with Franks is seeing the open WRs. Of what I have seen of Trask he seems to naturally see the field better in terms of passing. My guess is Franks is better at reading the running
game reads than Trask is. Injuries happen so we need all 3 of these QBs.

Franks made plenty of bad reads in that game. I think it was his worst game. The play you mention however was NOT a bad read. He read the play correctly and delivered the ball to the correct receiver, but the pass was way way late leading to a pick.

Minus the first drives, I don’t think it was his worst game. Far from it. He actually progressed during the game and picked the right read. Remember, he’s not asked to read the entire field, only half. He’s making good reads, but many times he’s late to throw or the o-line fails to read the defense on the play. My take.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

At some point, I'm going to assume we put McCoy back on the field and give Buchanon a ticket home.

I don't know how much we have to see of this.

Fred is terrible too but at least if he figures out who he is supposed to block he may be able to slow them down.

When do you see Trask “see the field better in terms of passing”? Practice? Routes on air? He’s thrown 3 balls in his college career for 22 yards!

Spring games. You can see that he reacts quicker than Franks when passing and has a quicker release which can help avoid sacks.

Mullen is smart to only give Trask running plays in mop up duty. If Trask succeeds passing then it could fuel the fire of people calling for the insertion of Trask.

Hopefully Franks gets better at seeing the open WRS quickly. He seems to get it in the running game.

Well, that’s because he was playing against our defense! Haha

As was Franks.
Trask would be under pressure from the first stringers and get rid of the ball quicker.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

He was under 50%, going largely against walkons. And hit the defense between the numbers twice in twenty some passes.

Zero tds. Zero yards rushing.

That is the real world.

... well, from right there where he's sitting he sees the whole game passing.

Franks has a 53% completion rate now. I’m not a Franks fan, but I do see him improving. I have to believe that Trask doesn’t have some of the tangibles or possibly even the intangibles or DM would have him in there at the first big mistake.

Not ready to give up on Buchanon. Seen him struggle for sure but, also seen progression. He needs another season of S&C, certainly.
But I’ve seen a few things I like. Going to watch him very close this Saturday to see if he takes another step forward.

Don’t think Tony’s kid did horrible. Just a low ceiling.

 

[G8trwood]

Lol, Franks is better but slow. When limiting his choices we also help the OL and others. Quicker plays with less reads. FF is consistently late and short and likes to keep the ball. Manage him and he can manage the game

Was wondering where to put this and this seems like a good juncture.

Was watching the Boise-Okie St game and saw a very Trask-ish stat: the Okie St QB was starting his first game in 1,735 days. His last start was 2013 in high school.

Trask says, Hold my beer...

 

[Theologator]

Morel Stevens needs to be benched. The aforementioned dropped TD. And he single handedly killed a drive with two bonehead plays.

I got agitated with him on one series where he flat out refused to block a guy on successive plays (and he was in position to make the block both times) and killed the drive.

Made me wonder where Raymond was. Did he play?

 

[Theologator]

Ironic that he has the highest career completion percentage at UF. Not Grossman. Not Leak. Not Peace. Not Danny. Yet he is “inaccurate”.
