Had to cover some fights last night(the ones on HBO) and I watched the Savannah St scrimmage this morning. And well, this wasn't even a scrimmage or sparring session but really hitting on a heavy bag(as I've said in the past about games of this nature) so everything stated has to be a bit muted - after all, its Sav St.
- Lot has been said about the QB situation, not sure what I can add except that I hope Richt continues to work the younger ones into the rotation and get them some meaningful snaps. But here's the reality - none of these guys are perfect or polished enough to be a sure thing at this moment. Perry throws a nice ball and seems to throw it on time(something Rosier struggles with) but again, it was Sav St. He needs much more seasoning and reps.
Weldon looks like a wild-card, guy has a lot of moxie and looks like a tough, hard-nosed athlete(got away with a bad throw early that should've been a pick) and Jarren Williams certainly looked good in limited time( many believe he has the highest ceiling)
Toledo will be interesting since it's a road game. Im very curious to see how Perry' reacts in this environment.
I'll say it again, whoever starts vs UNC on Sept 27th, will go into the FSU game as the starter. So the next two weeks will be interesting.
- I really enjoyed the commentary of former FSU Nole 'big' Forest Conely, and he said something that was very obvious and alarming : the UM Oline doesn't get a great thrust off the ball and not nearly as physical as they need to be. It was an indictment of Stacy Searles in many respects. Flat out, early on I didn't see much push or clear running lanes as they ran the ball - and this was vs Sav St. As DMoney mentioned, Gaynor seemed to give this unit some much needed nastiness as he got in the game. Honestly, not a big fan of Jones and Mahoney and what's really needed are some of the recruits from the past two classes to really make that jump where they are factors.
- Again it's Sav St. but it's clear that this freshman class can be special. I want to see more of these guys get larger roles as the season goes on. Bottom line you can just see their athleticism and twitch and they immediately upgraded this teams overall speed right off the bat. The future is now, get some of these upperclassmen into smaller roles and start breaking in the new guys I say. In this day and age, fewer quality players are staying 4/5 years, you might as well get them going as soon as possible.
- Really, that's all I have, I mean it was Sav St
