Well said and I was a big Lewis fan from the first time I saw him make the Miss. State defenders look silly in that superdome game.
I just like the prototypical qb assets that Fields brings to the table. Yea I wish he was taller but really impressed with what I have seen in limited game action so far.
We're in good hands with Chandler. I saw shades of a young Blaine Gauthier.
He has enough wiggle and speed to be a 10 yard threat to get a first down and keep the sticks moving. I also like how he utilizes the middle of the field.
Excited to see the growth of Fields and CMD. Geaux Cajuns
Maybe so, but you would hope in a game vs an opponent like SLU (who has legit FBS talent in the secondary) you can do things like that to help your QB2 get some snaps in case you need him later in the season.
I like that Coach Dez went into the game with that outlook. I expect we won’t see Wooldridge this coming weekend unless we’re up by a very good bit in the 4th Q. So….I hope we see him, in that capacity.
Well…our previous HC did that and the following two seasons we finished in the Top 20.
I’d be surprised to see Coach Dez follow that all season long, but for the first three games, I get it.
If Fields does go down this season (hope not), we might be thankful Wooldridge got some reps vs 1st team Ds.
You know for all the let's back Des talk that I was subjected to this past summer, there is an awful lot of armchair coaching going on right now. I happen to agree with every single decision That Des made this past Saturday night. I'll tell you why. He's a new coach of a team he's familiar with, but has to learn more about new players & what they can accept on the field.
At no point in that game did the thought cross my mind that UL wasn't completely in charge & had the ability to turn on a set of burners we didn't see. And we didn't see them for a reason. the coach decided to get a good look at both of his young QBs &give them both a chance to gain confidence for when the games really start to count. I also loved his decision to go for it deep in SLU territory when they got stopped.
I'm actually kind of glad the play didn't work either. It produced a coachable teaching & learning moment for Des to have in his back pocket for later on. The man must learn what his players can do under fire & still build confidence in his team. If I were to compare him to the bozo 50 miles away who just allowed his young team's confidence to be destroyed, I would say Des flew his first solo flight with very few strategical errors & has his team right where he wants them as this point in the season. they have the confidence to know they can win & turn it up if needed. And they have the experience of getting the knots out of their stomachs. Great job Mike Desormeaux.
