I think he's at least as good a passer as Nick Marshall, and Auburn won a lot of games with him and had a pretty good offense. You don't have to throw it like Drew Brees to win in the ACC, especially the way King runs and leads.
Only another Natty is gonna cure these woes we listen to.
I'm with you. I'll be paying attention to the progression. If we get a lot better in the 2nd game that's a great sign. If we're trying to figure out why we can't throw the ball effectively against a ****** UL defense, then we're probably not going to have a very good season. You don't have months to work **** out; you have to make quick progress and build to that crescendo like Neil Diamond.
I don't think a good coach tries to do the same thing every week. It was obviously good enough to beat the spread against a team that a lot of media people thought would beat us or stay within a few points of us. That's pretty good progress from our last game. It wasn't a perfect game, but I don't expect perfection in game 1.
Agree with most but if Major was his corch that means his DC mustve been Dorito? I dont care if you are Joe Burrow/Tim Tebow/ Vince Young mixed you cant will your team to wins every week with your DC having the Dorito 500 challenge weekly
It’s not like we rented a running QB for the opener. You realize we’ll be using this guy the entire season, right?
With respect, it's only one game. What we saw may have been what Lashlee felt Miami needed to do to win the game. It's possible he looked at them and felt we could pound them and score points.. and then that's what he did. I think a good running game is the key to success and maybe he felt that's what he wanted to work on the most. Let's see if things change against UL as far as the run pass balance. I'm sure he's pouring over the tape and seeing what was there and what wasn't. I'd like to see more air raid also but if you can pound mofos in the ground game, you do it.
If that was rust, teams do not want to see King at anywhere near 100%
I grew to like deejay but I’m glad he’s in the nfl and we have moved on to even more gifted backs
You kill me with your Deejay ambivalence. LOL.
Despite the rhetoric on the board, he looked pretty **** good at passing. He had one awful pass (td attempt), I think 2 bomb overthrows, and one or two miscommunications. Most of his other passes were spot on including that zinger brevin dropped. Those errors can be fixed, and he still had like 67% completion percentage
Truly despise this kind of prediction. I wonder what he was saying about Cam Newton when he had to transfer to a junior college, or Burrow after having to transfer from Ohio State and having one slightly decent year at LSU before his breakout. People improve.
Where’s the irony? Passing game typically takes longer to gel. It’s just funny to hear people excepting running stats because of D’Eriq King. The guy is going to be busting these runs all year. That’s the great part of having him.
Who is overreacting to us running for 330 yards? And what is overreacting to running for 330 yards? Being excited about it? Being happy? Pointing out that it's our 2nd best rushing output against an FBS team since 2004? Pointing out that it was done against a defense that was supposed to be pretty good and was good stopping the run last year?
Neil Diamond? Naw.
