Spring Practice 4/3 - Early Portion Notes

View as article
DBJ a legend? The sky's falling. Just kidding he's is a friend of mine. Post to the corner with just one shot apiece? I wouldn't be too concerned as that's one of the tough ones. I'm starting to believe that Williams is going to be the man.

The practice reports are interesting and all, but so little of the practices are available to the media that it's hard to put any stock in it. For example, seeing one throw each from the QBs to the back corner. We either trust that the talent and coaching is there or we don't. Spring game will be the first decent look we'll get at what the team looks like, and even that is pretty limited.

100% this. It's amazing how many people fail to understand this.

I remember going to an open portion of practice for the Canes as a kid during the 2002 season. The small portion of practice we saw included QB warmups and throwing a couple routes against air. Ken Dorsey was easily the least impressive of the bunch during these drills. Didn't mean a **** thing

Before the torrent of massive over reactions, even the best QBs have misses, especially early in PT active cycles, and in even in the NFL.

Not that I’m making excuses because a shoelace bubble screen shouldn’t happen.

But a post to the back corner of the end zone? That’s one of the hardest throws. I’m assuming these throws were defended. If you can’t get it on the money, make sure you don’t get it intercepted.

Overall, go ahead and overreact like you normally do.

It’s way too early to be concerned about a bunch of young QBs. Like I’ve said a thousand times, let’s see if there’s separation by midsummer or fall.

Exactly, scripted practice setting post route the DB will dominate.

Richt you genius...he's having the qb's look horrible during the media observation, so they can write reports on how bad they look. LSU is going to prepare to stop the run and boom QB 1 is going to light them up! Lol

Dorsey wasn't fighting for a starting position. Just saying he could of been coasting

no overreaction here. But as you also mentioned shoe lace throws on bubble screens should not happen at this level, and it does seem a pattern with at least one of our qbs. Hard to imagine any accuracy improvement on any other throws if that one throw can't even be mastered.
 
I think this is the tight end throws they were talking about. They weren’t defended if that’s the case.



Here’s what I had to say in another thread. It’s amazing how different it looks when you actually see it with your own eyes, as opposed to how you imagine it.

First, not seeing great finishing effort from the TE’s.

Second, it’s a fūcking timing issue. These guys they’re throwing to aren’t that fast, they look slow in fact, and it’s obvious the speed is being misjudged.

Third, this kid of shlt is common early in practices, arms get loose as practices progress. Ever notice QBs throwing on the sidelines during games sometimes?

These throws to tight ends tell us very little.

I don’t see anything to be concerned about in the big scheme of things, to be honest.

Yea from that video it looks like our TEs suck
 
Those routes and throws looked scripted from richt and the qbs to be slow and horrible. Honestly.

Most of these tight ends won’t see the field once Jordan and Mallory get here outside of Irvin , not worried
 
Most coaches want that throw to the back corner to be put long because it you put to much air under it it's a pick. It's either a my guy or nobody type of throw so I don't know why people are overreacting to those throws. Better athletes on the receiving end will make those throws seem like perfectly placed throws.

I meant to say the TEs but the whole thing from the pace to the routes to the throws looks scripted/off like richt did plan it lol

**The QB rotation remained the same going into the third week of spring practice (Malik Rosier, N'Kosi Perry, Cade Weldon, Jarren Williams). An average day from the QB's today, but they also ramped up the difficulty of the routes a bit. The routes were: bubble screen, TE drag across the field, post across the field to the sidelines with weakside play-action rollout, and post to the back corner of the endzone.

**The QB's really struggled on the post to the back corner of the endzone route. Each got one shot at it and all of the QB's overthrew their intended targets. Pretty ugly. Williams looked the best today, but that isn't saying much. Weldon really sailed one and was way off the mark on a sideline post. On a bubble screen, Rosier threw at the shoelaces of Michael Irvin II and he couldn't come up with it. Then, on a TE drag route, Perry threw one nowhere near Brian Polendey.

**Tight ends were good today, with the only drop coming from Polendey on a pass from Perry right between his numbers.

**Navaughn Donaldson was back working with the first team line after previously being demoted to second team for Saturday's practice. Whatever message the coaches were trying to send to Donaldson, it has been delivered. Hayden Mahoney was back with the second team. The rest of the depth chart remained the same here.

**The RB's got an extended (compared to what we've previously seen) run in practice today. They ran RB draw and RB pitch with the QB's out of the shotgun and the rotation remained the same as it has been (Travis Homer, Deejay Dallas, Lorenzo Lingard, Robert Burns, Crispian Atkins). Burns has bulked up, but is still maintaining his quickness and running well. Even though I previously speculated he may be bulking up for fullback, he's still working with the RB's and, most importantly, is still healthy. The one absent from the RB rotation and working with the fullbacks was actually Trayone Gray.

**The defense was broken up doing individual drills, so nothing to get a read on depth chart-wise. Ditto for receivers.

**Miami legends Gino Torretta and Don Bailey Jr. were out on Greentree and on hand to catch practice this morning.

Sounds like we need a team rule - bubble screen passes MUST be at least knee high.
