Pyron vs FSU

[stigs02jrt]

Brent Key just announced that he "fully expects" Pyron and Gibson to both play vs. FSU if Sims can't go. Get your popcorn ready!

Playing to win.

Oh... great.

With that being said, I fully expect Sims to be a go Saturday. Something about that kid just gives me a vibe he will start come hell or highwater.

I think Sims will WANT to go Saturday, but if he is still hurt and cannot run, he's a liability to our offense imho. We'll all see soon enough...

Hoping the uva loss was a matter of starting fsu prep early. Three weeks should be enough.

I wonder - with a long week of practice we could get more pass happy. If Sims is dialed in, he could give them fits.

I hope the young man plays like his hair is on fire!

May have tipped off that Sims isn't playing. Did he say that to make FSU change their game plan and Sims will play? Is Key that deceptive? The fact he said Pyron will play says more about Gibson than Sims.

He's just playing the game.
He said "I'd assume...wait, that's not the word....I'd expect that both Zach's will play on Saturday."
While he also said that Jeff was day-to-day.

I honestly am thrilled to hear this. Since we received Pyron's commitment, I haven't been this excited about a QB since we landed Sims (I'm not drawing comparisons between the two).

From what I've heard about Sim's injury, it can take about 2 weeks for minor foot sprains to heal - if you're staying off it and allowing it heal. For more serious sprains, they can take 6-8 weeks. I bring this up to say I'd be shocked if Sim's is able to go this week. I can appreciate trying to tough it out, but further damage is the more likely outcome...

For Pyron, it is a VERY low bar to beat.10? tries with no first down? pleeeez

No need to tread so gingerly like you’re some kind of step child, fire away

I come here for the intelligent humor, the insider analysis is secondary.

Joe Ham said this morning on 680 that Sims participated in full pads practice yesterday, FWIW.

Sprain or break ?

Sprain or break ?

Key at beginning of presser said it was a sprain confirmed by MRI. Also different injury (same foot / ankle) than game before. Day to day for Sims is what Key said.

That's what I heard. Don't know anymore really. My sprains never recovered in a week. Sims was walking around during the UVa game after he was benched. So who knows.

If Sims starts the game, I doubt he finishes it.

Might be trying to set up the ole Sims switcheroo from the UNC game last year. Gibson starts and Pyron comes in as we try to move the pocket and dink and dunk them with underneath throws and deep shots. Then Sims comes in and FSU can’t adjust quick enough to a run first QB.
