Tate Over Pope etc...

[Billy D Williams]

It ****es me off that Enos, Stubblefield and Manny chose to play the little boy who could not win the QB job at two schools to play over Pope, Hightower and Wiggins!! That's BS. Those guys all practiced the receiver position all off season and Tate does for one week and he gets to play. I hope like **** those kids were either hurt or suspended because if not that is phucked up! Don't be surprised when one of them opts for the portal.

 

[skeeter]

I kinda lean this way...BUT BUT BUT, I will see how it plays up, and we don't know what those guys look like in practice.

Is there any validity to the Pope injury rumor?

This definitely hasn’t been posted about enough.

Yeah they hate winning so they put the guy that gave them the worst chance on the field. That's the difference between coaches and fans

Dude, some Xanax is in order.

 

[bacane]

Yeah, coaches played the little boy who couldn't win QB job at two schools just to throw him a bone. Anyone suggesting Diaz and Enos playing favorites is clueless.

 

[AK_Cane]

I just want to see Tate on ST light someone up haha

 

[Geddy Lee]

Jesus Christ Wiggins isn’t better than any of those guys listed. He’s our 8th best WR. **** I’d take Few over him.

Yall realize not every wr plays the slot dont you? Lol at some football knowledge around here.

 

[CFDan]

every time tate was on the field, it resulted in a positive play. the only stupid call was at the end him playing QB and wasting a down on a run.

 

[umiamifan1]

I understand the frustration, but I also respect the strategy behind it. Those receivers don't elicit the same reaction out of the defense that Tate does, IIRC he was at least partially responsible for Deejay's success out of the wildcat just by serving as a decoy / distraction.

ddscane confirms Pope was NOT hurt and was shocked leaving the locker room after the game. Shocked Tate played over him

Very good take. I’m so glad this narrative is in play. Let’s play the results. UiF had to take a timeout with Martel on the field. Both TD runs were a result of him going in motion and making the DE and LB jump to the outside giving both DJ and Williams the lane need to score. You’re right they coaches didn’t know what they where doing.

You may disagree with the coaches decision, but there is no need to disparage Tate.

All this Tate Hate.....childish and silly....kid is a baller with skills, and that Gator D paid attention when he was on the field....

Missed it, a lot of threads out there, but ain't nobody here going to tell me that after one week of practice at a position he never played, showed better skills as Pope? The staff in a few days thought Tate at WR gives us a better chance to win? I don't dislike Tate in the least, but GTFOH!

 

[Rellyrell]

Why is Hightower not in the game more? That's another question I have.

 

[jar4989]

Hightower and Wiggins DO NOT PLAY the slot WR position

 

[Rickd]

He constantly got major separation when he ran routes. One play he was wide open - 8 yards from a defender and about 10 yards from the end zone .. would have been a TD if JW had seen him. On 8 plays he was used as a run blocker ... 210 pounds and very physical ... who is Pope going to block??
