God forbid we have a QB that hits his players in stride. Last QB we had to do that was noodle arm Dorsey.
Based on what? One bad play you saw Redwine make? Figured you would have learned your lesson after your OL fiasco to stop making ridiculous declarations without any basis to support it.

I haven't watched a scrimmage. Can you post the link?

Yeah *******, one play I saw Redwine make. Not Young and Dean getting beat for TDs, and just one interception that I can remember seeing through two scrimmages.
Jesus you're a hot little potato this morning.
Trust him, he just knows. Our QB's had good stats in a controlled scrimmage that we can't see, so despite not knowing who exactly they were going against or what really happened, trust him, they suck. The coaches have been hyping the development of our top 4 CB and starting safeties all summer/camp, but it's meaningless, cause we're screwed.
I can't believe guys give up touchdowns in practice!

I'm not saying they won't be a good unit this season or that they haven't looked good during camp, but through two scrimmages there hasn't been much in the way of good press or highlights for that matter. I don't know who could refute that, but it certainly doesn't mean they will stink this year, but it could take some time and they probably won't be as good as some here are expecting imo.
Baseless stats for you to gush over. But yeah, no highlights or good press.
Scrimmage 1:
Young INT
Finley INT
Scrimmage 2:
Dean FF
Michael Jackson 3 TFL, 1 sack
Finley 1 sack
Jaquan 2 TFL, 1 sack

Sorry if I'm not impressed by these guys picking up sacks against the cardboard cutouts comprising our 2nd team OL.
That said, I like them as a unit and believe they'll become good. But the practice reports about Berrios, Langham, Harley are equally positive so something's gotta give. They're not there yet, is all I'm saying.
People's expectations for Delaney appear to have been met early on but many predicted big roles for Dean, Bandy, Carter immediately and those guys have never played a down. This likely isn't going to be a seamless transition back there.

And glowing stats from the offense, and nothing but praise for Langham, Berrios, Harley after every single practice but let's ignore that.

I kind of agree with you. Either the upperclassmen QBs are really improving, or our secondary is struggling. However, when you put all the first team D pieces together, I think they will be fine.

Yeah, that's exactly right. 100% negativity from me 100% of the time. That's who I am. Nailed it.
Enter NFL prospect Delaney (and fellow talented transfer Jhavonte Dean, unavailable to the media on Tuesday), who apparently is living up to his billing.
“Dee Delaney,’’ defensive coordinator Manny Diaz said Tuesday, “has got ball skills. Some guys, if you throw it near them, they’re going to catch it.’’
Indeed. At 6-1 and 193 pounds, Delaney isn’t just a hard-hitting, lock-down defender, he can catch. He led the FCS Citadel’s Southern Conference with six interceptions last season for 163 return yards, and is tied for second in career interceptions, with 13.
“I don’t think he takes a snap for granted,’’ starting linebacker Zach McCloud said.
Diaz likes the way his players are going after the football in practice, saying, “You can tell they’re responding to the greater emphasis we have put on [causing turnovers]. We’re getting our hands on more balls.”
One player who’s stood out so far is transfer cornerback Dee Delaney. Delaney, a fifth year senior, played last season at The Citadel. Now, he’ll compete to fill the void left by standouts Corn Elder and Adrian Colbert.
“We brought [Delaney] in with the mentality that he would compete for a starting job,” Diaz said. “Not just with him, but with Jhavonte Dean, we had to bring in some quick fix guys.”
Cornerbacks coach Mike Rumph also discussed Delaney’s progress on Tuesday.
“A pleasant surprise,” Rumph said of Delaney. “Just very strong, and physical, and athletic and, most of all, he’s almost taking control of my room already.”
As he read off the statistics from the first scrimmage of camp, Mark Richt was bemused.
“Malek Young -- two tackles and an interception,” the Hurricanes coach said with a smile and a slight shake of his head. “He seems to have an interception every time we scrimmage.”
“He’s always had those instincts and ball skills, but he knows the defense way better now. He understands where the offense is going to try and take advantage,” Hurricanes cornerbacks coach Mike Rumph said of Young earlier this week. “He does a great job of being in the right place when those situations occur. It’s kind of falling into place with him and slowing down for him now.”

It's sounding more and more like the upperclassmen QBs aren't as bad as people like canespimp promised they'd be. He saw them play in a scrimmage during the spring and knows everything now apparently so look out.
