That is true. None of our guys could complete passes vs air this time last year.

Im not talking about this time last year. I mean ever.

Yup, that's what you get with QBs who are running backs first and passers second, to run a middle school style offense.

I hope we never recruit another.

I agree. I want a real QB, a guy that can sling it all over the field. I hope Franks becomes that guy. With his athleticism, he could be dangerous.

Shouldn't Trask be perfect for that? A middle school offense is the only kind he has ever ran after all.

I agree. Send him to a Div 3 school where they run it.

I saw that article and stopped when I realized it was one GC writer basically interviewing another GC writer. Going back to it now, I see it leads off with a discussion of one of them spending several hours over Friday and Saturday at baseball games and some football sprinkled in. A bit of 'woe is me' for the writers I could do without. I appreciate they are actually attending UF sporting events and writing about them, that puts them miles ahead of Dooley/Andreu, but I do fear we are mere weeks away from a listing of their iPod playlists once basketball is done and they are filling time between baseball games with football in the quiet time.

EDIT - noticed several of the pictures on that site are from staff photographer "David Bowie". Really?

I did some checking and sure enough, it is - Gator Country’s photographer David Bowie was on hand for the game and he brings you an exclusive photo gallery of the Gators win over.............

Zach Abolverdi had a periscope and answered some questions, I few things he said...


Expects the quarterback position to be between Del Rio and Appleby, thinks McElwain would want to redshirt both Frank's and Trask.


He said he expects the running back battle to be primarily between Scarlett and Thompson. Expects it to be a 3 headed beast though with Cronkrite.


He said from what he's seen in practice the most impactful receivers so far have been Swain, Worton, and Massey. Says Worton has been playing well as well as swain, and that Massey is just an electrifying player.


He said the offensive line actually looks pretty good. Even said this position could be a strength if we can figure out our starting 5. I loved hearing this.


Says the defensive line looks good, Brantley looks great as well as Cox. Whole defensive line looks good.


He said he thinks the depth at linebacker could be really good if those like Anzalone and Mcmillian could actually contribute. Davis looks really good.


Claimed that Washington is currently starting at SS alongside Maye it seems, and that Dawson is taking over Poole's place. Gardener is being played everywhere.


Lastly, he said Pinerio looks good and is definitely the kicker, and that the KR will probably be Massey. Figured you guys would enjoy hearing these things.

Pretty sure I said in my "Breakout Players for 2016" that I expect Worton and Scarlett to be the ones that do. Hopefully these guys prove me right this year.

Just curious. We do still play tackle football right?

I think they get in pads on Friday.

It's their strategy to see if our linebackers can make it to our opener. I have my doubts.

This entire assessment by him is weird. Everything that I've seen has said that it's Del Rio's to lose. Trask may even be second! Appleby is only an emergency reserve.

As far as receivers are concerned everything that I have seen has said that Massey is fast but has not been particularly impressive on routes. As far as him talking about him returning kicks that's not new information. That's the reason he was brought in. And I've seen nothing saying that Swain is the best receiver. I have seen that with Worton. The other person that I am consistently hearing about is Hammonds. Not Swain.

 

[GatorTAG]

Just hearing and seeing a lot about our team "playing well against air" and getting concerned.

Less than 3 but greater than 1.
If you believe in Jesus ya betta call him son.
Tell him you on the way, cause ya boy Crucial's cray.
Puttin this senseless Law to rest will be a piece of cake.
Of course the answer's 2, and you shoulda knew.
That's how many gerbils are runnin loose in you.
Your girl still exclaims even tho I miss some things,
While she's grind on my **** and straightnin my bangs.
The Chatta crew knows that the jokes on you,
Keep it easy fellas don't let the Law bind you!
