Scrimmage #1

Advertisement
I doubt anyone is gonna lead the QB competition after today. I expect that battle to extend well into the summer and fall camp.
I’m sure there will be hella overreactions on here regardless though.

I’m just hoping for us to come through it injury free. Everything else is gravy.
 
Let the the overzealous predictions and over the top reactions,..BEGIN!!

Let the the overzealous predictions and over the top reactions,..BEGIN!!

1. O doesn't score every touch, Penos is a loser, fire Manuela

2. D doesn't get a sack/TFL/INT every play, Blake is a loser, fire Manuela

3. ST doesn't score/block every punt, whats his nutz is a loser, re-hire Hartley and then fire him instantly, fire Manuela

4. Whatever today's outcome, Fly The Banner.
 
What I would love to hear about today's scrimmage:

1. Great QB play from all 3 QB's
2. Offensive Tackles holding their own
3. Hightower, Hightower, Hightower (I just have a really good feeling about that young man)
4. Gurvan Hall taking the next step
5. Gilbert Frierson proving to be a solid backup for Finley.
6. Mallory flat out dominating
7. Payton making a strong case to be in the rotation
8. Running lanes open for our RB's
9. Ford dominance to transfer to the "game like" setting.
10. No Injuries!

Good list only things I'd change are no injuries number 1 and solid consistent play from the wr's as in no drops.

Brief yet complete, very nice.
 
Managed to get my hands on a post scrimmage transcript—

“Hang on y’all, I think we’ve got some numbers here. Let’s see, let’s see...

Perry, 4 for 8, 57 yards. One TD, one pick. Pick wasn’t his fault though, receiver ran an out when he should’ve, should've... done something else.

Kaaya had a good day. Didn’t play obviously, just swung by the facility after making the Bengals practice squad. Seems happy. Happy for him.

Uh, Williams. 3 for 19, 109 yards. 3 for 19? That can’t be right. Anyway, 2 TDs, 1 pick. Pick wasn’t his fault, well, it was kinda his fault. Led the receiver by about ten yards.

Martell looked good. Some drops hurt him. Had a few rushes for some yards. I think he got into the end zone a time or two.

Dallas, 7 rushes for 44 yards. Had a catch or two, I believe.

Harris, who most of you know as CAM-RON Davis, 3 rushes for 9 yards. They played him with the 2s and such. Nursing a leg injury or something. One TD, think it was a fumble recovery though. Blocked really well today.

Burns looked great in warm ups. Best I’ve seen him since he’s been here. Did a few cone drills as well, coach Diaz is really excited about that kid I’m sure.

Number 4 had 8 catches for 124 yards and 3 TDs. Not sure about those numbers... most of that was against air anyway.

Osborn, 6 for 63. TD. Fine young man, all around.

Payton had a catch or two, Mike Harley did as well. He’s coming along. Wiggins and Hightower each played some. You can see this group misses Lawrence Cager.

Will Mallory had some key blocks on some runs, especially the one Dallas had. Don’t think that’s reflected in the stats though. Also caught 12 balls for 203 yards and 4 TDS. Irving had a few drops.

No defensive stats today, but Coach Rumph has done a great job with the young DBs. That’s it, y’all.”

“Thanks, Coach Richt.”

“Ok guys. And y’all don’t call me that anymore.”
 
You'd have to be kinda nuts or playing favorites to select your starting QB after only one scrimmage.

First of all , its highly doubtful that you can throw many of the things our QB will be facing or will have to know in this new offense at all three candidates in only one scrimmage.

Im sure, Diaz & Enos realize the extreme importance of making the best decision for the team and are willing to wait until all of the facts are in ...instead of being overly anxious to make a snap judgment.

What's the rush anyway? All QBs to date are improving amidst the close competition. Best of all, with waiting you'll have a good starter plus competent backups

So sit back and relax....we're going to be here awhile.
