Podcast GSS: Coach Michael Desormeaux (9-26-22)

Sullivan didn't drop a TD pass in the endzone? And Jefferson didn't drop a deep sideline pass inside the ULM 20? LeBlanc didn't drop 2 passes on critical 3rd downs? It was more than special teams and several missed tackles on the ULM touchdowns.

I agree with the QB system, but that means neither has won the job outright. Neither of these guys can replace Levy's experience and leadership. They have very little playing experience at this point.

Yea, I know there were a bunch of dropped passes. I was just trying to paint the picture that while QB play wasn't the deciding factor in the ULM game, I still don't like the 2-QB system.

We missed out on two possible games we could have developed some of those intangibles (leadership/experience) sticking with one guy; games that we lost anyway. But now we're going into game four against a contender for the west with these questions.

This is 100% all hindsight, and I know a lot of posters would be getting after CMD if he stuck with one guy and we lost those two games without seeing the other QB once.

Any guys that actually played want to chime in on this question: can the QB carousel affect WR/QB route timing, bias, synergy? Can that be attributed to some of those seemingly easy dropped passes?

That's why Mike is going to have to make a decision & go with it. It sucks, but that's why he's making the big bucks.

Des came in for Jerry when he got hurt in 05. It’s what started the running game explosion. Babb did end up coming back and took back over. Jerry beat out Des in 06 and then Des took over in 07. I don’t remember them running a 2qb system but Des played special teams and was in on some specialty plays. That’s all I got

That's what I remember. I'm just wondering what's in Mike's head on the 2 QB system.

I only remember one 3rd down target to LeBlanc did I miss one? Who Sullivan? What position does he play?

Maybe he figures Napier did it his first year, so he will too.

Someone said he wrote down all the notes . . .
