Spring Football game

[RedBug58]

On many throws, Blaine securely had the ball in hand from a good snap and plenty of time but there was typically good coverage on his receivers or he made a bad decision. Again, I know that he didn't have two of his best receivers to play with as that limits him with his rhythm that he typically has with those guys but I just noticed that he pressed more and made some bad decisions. I don't believe that it means anything more than just having a bad scrimmage. He still managed some good things as he led to the TD late in first half.

On Blaine's behalf, 1) Blocking was not that good causing him to rush and several times he was hit while passing also, 2) he runs quite often, but yesterday when he took off to run if anyone even touched him they stopped the play. So the "backups" and the "Spring Rules" put a negative spin on his style of play. Neither of these will be present in the Fall. The good news is that we have two great quarterbacks; with even more in the hopper!!

It was good to see Brian, Jake and Guy get those jerseys. I guess they couldn't get in contact with the other guys on the wall or they had previous commitments.

What? You an NHL fan? LOL!

A few more points that should be mentioned.

1.) Neither teams RB/QB combo had the unified line that they will probably be starting behind when they are all one team.

2.) Gautier's one long run where he was touched down after about 15 yards would have been about a 80 yard TD if he would have had to be tackled.

3.) Bret baer is awesome. At his success rate on onside kicks we just go for one every kickoff.

4.) I was one of the fools who sat over on the student side, needless to say I got a tad to much sun.

Director of FB Operations T.W. stated on BeV (without JayWalker) that the stratagy of the White Team was to draft heavy on the O-Line and D-Line.

When you have two good quarterbacks going up against each other, the "Time Machine" stratagy is not a bad way to go. Unfortunately/Fortunately they needed the Commish to find them a running back.

Blaine did not have a good game throwing yesterday. He was off, way off, on a number of passes. He did have a number good throws, too, but many of the bad ones were real bad. However, like you, I think was just a hiccup. One mediocre scrimmage. I think in the fall we'll see the real BG once again.

Blaine showed in the New Orleans Bowl he does not need a lot of time, but I still think every split second helps.

It looked to me as if most of the starters & major contributors were on the white team. Gauthier seems like he is feeling the heat from Broadway. The best thing I saw besides a wide open offense W/ good physicality was the coverage of our DBs.The most disappointing was Surgeant's effort. Don't know if he was playing injured, but he hardly ever got separation.

Figaro will be good, if he can get some more work in catching the ball, i saw him drop numerous easy balls during warm-ups, and in the game

Normally, I would agree with you but it seems that ALL of our receivers tend to struggle with catching the ball consistently at this time of year and even early fall. Guys like Lawson, Surgent and even Ladarius Green have struggled in recent years at the beginning of the season and spring to get it together and play great as the year goes on. I'm sure Figaro is a better receiver in terms of catching the ball than he showed this weekend as many guys had drops, including Jamal Robinson who had a big drop.

Idk about u guys but i cant wait til ex ole miss commit Delvin Jones Touches the field,he goes by "ocho" because of his simular facial feautures of chad ocho cinco, All the guys on the team believe he has all confernece potiential and will be a dominate LB/DE in this league, during practices and scrimmages, he jumps up and down and screams and celebrates Just as much as the coaches, That will transfer on the field and i cant wait to see it
