See post # 40.Just looking at post histories, would it hurt to not be a complete negative Nancy every once in a while?

I'm optimistic about next year, similar to how I was optimistic about 2016. We lost 4 games that we had a lead of 2 scores in. That's very rare
Yeah, the guy was such a leader he decided to quit rather than man up and compete for the job.Maybe he can show what a leader he is like MJ was last fall when he was told that the role he would be playing wasn't going to be what he expected.
I know you don’t post much but you’ve been around here long enough to know that what you said is absolute factually inaccurate. I request a retraction.Yeah, the guy was such a leader he decided to quit rather than man up and compete for the job.
He didnt miss many reads in the tenn game really only thr pitch read on the 2 pt. They were giving keep reads all gameLost confidence? In himself? He started in game 1 trying to do it all himself. If anything, he didn't show confidence in his teammates. It won't be last year's experience that will make him better. It will be a ton of film study and a heavy dose of CPJ showing him where he was missing reads. And hopefully Lucas Johnson and Tobias Oliver will be applying maximum pressure.

What you really mean is injured his foot came in to a game we were losing moved the ball on 5 consecutive carries then re injured that same foot and it turned out to be career endingYeah, the guy was such a leader he decided to quit rather than man up and compete for the job.

Doug
Let me add.
I think he had shoulder injury as well. Early in season i asked his dad how was his shoulder and he said close to ready. Dad could have meant foot but i dont think so because i also asked about passing.
In the first game where mj got reps, he would hit the hole but did not drive thru. He also would roll his body as he was going to the ground.
I think w foot shojlder injury and 2 rising freshmen qb back ups he realized he was not rsally able to help the team.
Doug, slapping a shell sbocked soldier got Patton put in time out. I assume u didnt know aboug the injuries ☺
What percentage of our pass plays come on third and 4th down? I’d take a 25% improvement there.To me he seems much more elusive and dynamic in the running game. And that's 80% of what we do. So lets say for example Lucas Johnson could complete 62.1% of his passes, just to make an easy number that is 25% higher than Marshall. That would only give Johnson a decided advantage on 25% of the 20% of our plays. That's 5% of the plays we run. Yes this is a massive oversimplification. But being able to complete passes on 5% more of our plays is not necessarily enough to overcome what may be a material advantage on all the rest of the plays which are rushes of some sort.

TaQuan's biggest flaw is his happy feet, he takes off running too early/rolls out if the pocket too early. Luckily this is something that can be fixed just with experience and playing. It is one of the major downsides to cross training QBs at other positions, he has a RB mentality that he needs to overcome. Nobody can know for sure but I feel like his mental checklist on a lot of his roll out throws goes: 1st read -> Running Lane -> Second read -> scramble/throw a prayer. If he goes to his second read earlier or trusts his first one I think the numbers will go up.
It wasn't career ending. He was told he'd be able to compete for the starting job in 2018 but unless something significant changed, Marshall was the guy and Johnson would be in the mix. Jordan then quit.What you really mean is injured his foot came in to a game we were losing moved the ball on 5 consecutive carries then re injured that same foot and it turned out to be career ending

I'm sick of Jordan's amen corner constantly trashing Marshall on here when anybody close to the program knows we started the right guy last year.

I support Matthew Jordan and I support Taquon Marshall and I support Lucas Johnson, and Tobias Oliver and all Tech athletes that dare to take on the responsibilities of football and school.
Yes, and a lot of us (i.e. me, among others) keep forgetting this. A notorious complaint around here is that our QBs only make one read. It's helpful to be reminded that this is how a run-and-shoot passing game usually works. Since the opposing Ds are normally all "OMG! OMG! He's gonna throw!" and immediately back up to cover lanes when our QB drops back, it isn't surprising at all that we often end up with a QB keeper on a designed pass play. Or running draws, for that matter.Actually most of our passing concepts are 1st read, run, second read. That is a staple of the the run and shoot passing concepts.
Yesssss. We need to remember what we give up when we get what we ask for. TaQuon is a great runner. I want him get better throwing the ball (and I'm dead certain he wants that too), but … running the ball and making the reads comes first.I only hope we can complain about TaQuon averaging over 100 yards rushing a game and 27 total TDs again this year. LOL.
