With some exceptions, I'd guess we'll see a lot more rotation through the depth chart from game to game and, except where we may have a particularly gifted athlete at a specific position, no guarantees.indynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82054786841649475.post-12259679425650346382011-04-25T16:15:44.185-07:002011-04-25T16:15:44.185-07:00The drawback for either Hendrix or Golson starting...The drawback for either Hendrix or Golson starting is lack of experience.(TR was the exception) Once they've had a Fall and Spring going against this defense, then they will be ready to enter the starting quarterback discussion. We certainly don't want the 2007 quarterback situation again - a "grab bag" of quarterbacks with no continuity. I think the suggestion to redshirt Golson is worth pursuing! <br /><br />A68DomerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82054786841649475.post-77904886759495053072011-04-25T16:12:22.834-07:002011-04-25T16:12:22.834-07:00AS A FORMER COACH I DO KNOW ONE THING.TOMMY REES I...AS A FORMER COACH I DO KNOW ONE THING.TOMMY REES IS A GAMER AND A WINNER!!! HE HAS AN INCREDIBLY QUICK RELEASE AND MAKES VERY GOOD DECISIONS FOR THE MOST PART. BUT THE 1 STATISTIC YOU NEED TO REALIZE IS THAT HE'S 4-0 AS A STARTER.GARY DANIELSON SAID IN THE MIAMI BOWL GAME THAT WHEN HE SAW REES IN 7 ON 7 HE WAS JUST OK. BUT AT 11 ON 11 HE WAS MARVELOUS. HE ALSO HAD 3 TO 4 DROPS IN THE BG GAME. REMEMBER NAVY LAST YEAR? THE KID JUST SEEMS TO MOVE THE BALL DOWN THE FIELD AND KELLY SAID AFTER THE SPRING GAME THAT REES WAS THE MOST ACCURATE PASSER. CRIST MAY BE A SLIGHTLY BETTER PRACTICE PLAYER BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING WHEN "THE LIGHTS COME ON AND IT'S LIVE."

The question is whether he has changed his way of life so that alcohol will never again be the problem it has been. Engaging in alcohol-related fist fights, and endagering lives of others with alcohol-impaired driving are sufficiently grave behaviors.<br /><br />Will he demonstrate a change of LIFE with sufficiently convincing signs? And what are those signs? It's NOT a matter of paying his dues...it is a matter of true/permanent rehabilitation. A change of life, really...a (dare I say it?) conversion. How does one demonstrate this?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82054786841649475.post-16278841436685357522011-04-25T12:48:39.223-07:002011-04-25T12:48:39.223-07:00If the correct reads were at receivers' feet (...If the correct reads were at receivers' feet (Crist) or to the defense (Rees) then they certainly know the offense. And that's just how those 2 played last season. Crist got worse and Reese almost singlehandedly lost the USC game. Golson and Hendrix weren't throwing to Jerry Rice either, but they actually completed some passes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82054786841649475.post-29075308812419548802011-04-25T11:32:13.001-07:002011-04-25T11:32:13.001-07:00I vaguely remember that as well Anonymous.

I thought I heard that Crist was making all of the right reads / right throws to spots, but receivers who did not know the offense as well as Crist were running the wrong routes (potentially expected given the hodge-podge of a receiving corps that was put out on every snap). If that is correct, it is a much different story than Crist throwing the wrong routes as he did last year. I'm not saying that I would be opposed to giving Hendrix a try, but wondering if others heard what I thought I had.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82054786841649475.post-43536853594457506872011-04-25T08:52:22.227-07:002011-04-25T08:52:22.227-07:00From my vantage point it wasn't obvious at all...From my vantage point it wasn't obvious at all.Mattarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09694403988584662367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82054786841649475.post-10342426851189843162011-04-25T08:41:16.842-07:002011-04-25T08:41:16.842-07:00Didn't it seem obvious to everyone in the Spri...Didn't it seem obvious to everyone in the Spring game that Hendrix is the best choice? I know it's just one Spring game, but he can run and he can throw. Crist and Reese can't outrun anyone, and it's debatable whether they can even throw. I'm tired of hearing that they "know the offense" and "just win." Whose to say that Hendrix and Golson won't know the offense by the first game. And they might "just win" too if given the chance. Bottom line, if H. or G. can't beat out C. or R., then they just aren't very good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
