One of those days, if you feel like it, do spread the gospel for us dummies brother. I understand that generally i'ts a matter of prioritizing, but I swear my money runs off on me when I think about a nice trip

Definitely. I love traveling to nice places on a budget and living beyond that on the trip. If I could make an income writing about it I’d quit my job and move abroad. I might do that anyhow at some point.

The first "drop" you're talking about wasn't even for him. Jordan was behind him, that's why the ball was thrown so hard.

He also had a drop on a corner route later in the game that would have been a tough catch, but OK I'll give him a drop.

Those 2 plays don't mean much to me. What disappointed me the most were the other mistakes. The hold on the fake FG that he clearly didn't even come close to needing to make. The abuse he took in the run game (to be fair, Brevin got smoked a few times too). And in the 4th quarter on the boot we ran to the left (short) side of the field, he clearly ran the wrong route because JT was supposed to come behind the formation into the flat (and got tripped by Donaldson as he got knocked off the ball like most of our OL did all night), and Mallory ran some sort of half-assed speed out and him and JT were separated by 5 yards, max. Clearly not the design.

ALL OF THAT BEING SAID, it was the first game of the season and it's not like he did anything that lost us the game. Even if he doesn't hold on the fake FG, does anyone have confidence we're powering the ball in from inside the 5 on that defense? Maybe it happens, maybe not. But Mallory will be fine. Making a whole thread calling him out when he was probably the 17th most critical reason we lost is retarded.

That holding call was horseshyt. Had no bearing on the play and it’s the sort of call they could make on someone on every running play.

Just split Mallory and Brevin out wide as both had a tough go trying to block last game. Which is why guys like Irvin and Polendy need to step up in that departmenet.

Yes, the 4 TE formation. Will be 5 TE once Njoku gets his assignments down. Good luck stopping that.

Huh? How was this directed at me? I dont consider myself an analyst, I am merely a fan. I have never claimed to be an analyst or football expert of any kind. I dont blog; in fact I dont even have an account on facebook, twitter or instagram. Never have.

Mallory dropped multiple balls vs UF. At least two, I believe it may have been even more. And they were blatant drops. Not balls most players would likely drop as well like you're making it seem now. I dont collect film clips. Maybe someone who does can post them here to satisfy you. The guy had yips on a big stage. Not the end of the world, and like I said above, something we likely wont see again.

But the blocking was a completely different story. I guess you didnt take the time to read Lance's breakdown. You should, it was really well done - heck, it was very analyst-like! If you had, you too would have major concerns about Mallory blocking, and not just when he is up against Zuniga.

He didn’t have multiple drops in the UF game. But carry on.

I expect him to have a great game considering he was lost out there against UF.

I think he settles down and show's why we all thought so highly of him.

I can see some maybe suggesting he wasn't "enthusiastic" enough blocking - but a little tabasco in his jock just before the game can tune him right up!

It was so far in the middle of nothing that they had to call it. It wasn't much of a hold, but he was holding him and everyone in the stadium was looking at it. Agree that if that happens in the box it's probably not called. But there was nobody within 15 yards of those 2 kids. He's gotta understand it's 4th and short, he's 10+ yards downfield. Just let go after a second or two, Baxa easily had the first down.

Robert Knowles played better than Will Mallory did against Florida in week 0, but it's still cool to pile on him because he gave up some big plays against FSU. If it's ok to hate on Knowles at every turn, why is it sacrilege to point out that Mallory hasn't quite fulfilled the lofty expectations set upon him by all of our podcaster analysts?

When threads like these are originated you're just asking for it. "Mallory was awful in week 1 -- therefore I'm predicting he's going to ball-out (something he's yet to do as a Cane) this coming Saturday." That's such extreme homerish behavior and is equally reprehensible as calling anyone a Greentree All-American imo. There's no reason to believe that Mallory will have a monster game on Saturday. Brevin Jordan? All day. He's done it. Will has not.

Hate to be that guy, but he's the leader in the clubhouse for "Greentree all-American".

I'm sure he's 10 times more ****ed at his play than we are he'll get better. I know when i was his age I'd be looking for blood wouldn't matter who's it was... Only difference he's an elite athlete, he'll get it done.

This kid is from Jacksonville and could easily have been on the other side week zero. Save the jokes saying he was cause he had a bad game. Crazy how we demand LOYALTY from the local kids to stay home and rep The U, but as soon as they have a bad game where is the fan LOYALTY?? God forbid they do not become great players like fans demand (ie. Robert Knowles ). I get sphincteritis just like everybody else when a kid that struggles gets on the field, but I cheer for him and I sure as heck do not bash him. It is one thing to discuss a bad performance or bad play in general, but bashing and pinning derogatory labels on them from the confines of your keyboard is cowardly and it certainly is not being a true fan. Be better than the folks up north. If you are Cane then be all about this :neonu:. See below. That should mean something to :neonu:.
