If Des calls running plays. I can’t get the NOLA bowl out of my head. All he had to do was run the football more. We were spotted 3 TD’s. I cannot remember when this drive occurred or the complete details but I believe We passed it 3 times for 1 yard to get a 1st down at one time and failed to get a crucial 1st down in the 2nd half there. It changed the game.
Drew was a generational talent. He threw thru passing lanes created by the OL. The 3 OL in the middle, 2 guards and center had to be super solid to keep pass rush in check. The tackles created passing lanes. His receivers had to run precise timing pass routes because many times he was throwing to a spot where the receiver was supposed to be. He was real good. Hall of fame good. But, if you pressured him up the middle, he struggled.
Tom Brady didn't have the wheels at all. But he stood tall in the pocket and could throw over the OL. If you recall watching him, his short passes over the middle were on a downward trajectory, especially to his shorter receivers.
16-6. Fumbles killed us in the second half. The Jax state game was one of the worst offensive called games I’ve ever seen. And it didn’t get much better in the second half when we needed stopping 3rd downs. I hope that year 3 is the year everything starts clicking for Des. Nobody deserves to succeed more than him. He’s poured his heart and soul into this program.
CF was third string at the beginning of last year. If BW is healthy he is the starter with the most upside. You will be pleasantly surprised if BW can stay healthy a full year.
This is the year!
