2022 Quarterback Battle

[Scott Malkinson]

I heard defense looked much better than offense on Saturday. Which is to be expected at this point. That particular clip looked as if a receiver wasn’t where he should have been.

That's usually the case defense is always ahead of offense in the off-season

Ok, I'll ask...what is his name? What High School? Position?

This is a personal friend of BeauCajun. I don't recall his name at the moment. Minden High School and he could be OL or DL.

How have the RBs and WRs looked in practice?

WRs are all the same names you heard last year minus obviously Lacy and Williams. Fleming, Stephens, Bernard, Rogers, Jefferson, Carter, Bell……Probably the position with most experience returning and the least amount of concern.

He had to cancel his visit For Saturday. Got invited to Jr day by an SEC school.

I am pulling for Chandler as he has the IT factor

Chandler signed his LOI and started recruiting from the git-go. Dude was all in on the #cULture.

The summer of the Covid year, when the team broke up into small squads and practiced around town, Chandler was at Chargois Park by my house.

I realize it was only 7-on-7's, but dude was tight with his throws. DBs that were in a receiver's hip pocket didn't have a chance. There was no chance to get your head around on short and intermediate throws.

And while Chandler may not be LL running the ball, he's a helluva lot closer to a LL than he is to a Brooks Haack. (But while LL was faster than Chandler, I think Chandler will/would be a more decisive runner.

Guessing Leblanc is and oversight?

[CajunT]

Guessing Leblanc is and oversight?

Yes

[John Cocktolstoy]

Guessing Leblanc is and oversight?

Nah. Folks on here said he can’t catch a cold figured it wasn’t relevant for this conversation. Did he even contribute at all last year?

[KajunKrazy]

Guessing Leblanc is and oversight?

Very limited in the spring due to post season elbow surgery.

I have no idea who will be QB, but I do know that he will need good pocket awareness and be able to scramble to make off script plays. LL greatest attribute was turning a sure sack into positive yardage. Our OL will not be as good this year and our QB will have to be able to get outside the pocket to keep the chains moving.

That’s an attribute many on here seemed to never account for and give Levi credit on. As good as our OL has been run-blocking over the years, he’s had to escape a ton of pass rushers who got penetration immediately off the snap.

Now, I’m not discounting a possibility that on some of those plays there were immediately outlet options that could have quickly gotten the ball had he read it pre-snap and made that split second decision. However, that’s just speculation.

If it’s Fields or Wooldridge taking over, then we better hope that option and quick read is there and executed. Those two won’t make so many escapes.
