Big Blue Huddle

Quote from: spiderblue43 on November 06, 2023, 08:33:40 PMGoing to watch JJ McCarthy closely this  week vs.Penn State. Thoughts?

Never get too high or too low based off one performance. He will do good things and probably struggle at times cause Penn State's defense is legit. Michigans weakness offensively are their tackles and they have struggled to run the ball like they have the last two years. Chop Robinson can have a big deal, especially if Penn State can get the lead.

Michigans schedule may rue them on this day.

Quote from: uconnjack8 on November 06, 2023, 03:28:20 PMFeels like this "deep" class is thinner than advertised.

Don't get me wrong. He can be a starting QB. I just wouldn't spend a first rounder on him with that many red flags.

There's about 4-8 QBs where you ask 10 GMs their ranking and you'll get 10 different list with no consensus on who's where.

It's a quality draft for QBs. I think the ceiling on a few isn't quite high.

Quote from: uconnjack8 on November 05, 2023, 07:32:16 PMWhy isn't Penix the #1 prospect?  Serious question.  Only seen him a couple of times and both times were impressive.  The physical talent is apparent. 

Age
Injuries
Reached his potential
Plays awful defenses
His stats against pressure are horrendous
Not mobile
No threat to run.

Buy these QBs:
Williams
Maye
Daniels
McCarthy

Sell:
Any other Pac 12 QB.
Riley Leonard
Spencer rattler
Dillon Gabriel

Interesting late rounder I have my eye on-
Michael Pratt from Tulane.

Was 100% on Taylor and he told him to throw the ball. But hey - he was awesome tonight.

Brian Daboll said Tyrod Taylor alerted to a run on the final play of the first half. Said he communicated to his QB to pass in that situation.

With the injuries to Milano and White - buffalos defense isn't that great. They struggled mightily last week against Buffalo.

Quote from: madbadger on October 16, 2023, 12:03:25 AMYep but Ezudu is strictly a guard. Pugh has been a halfway decent tackle at points in his pro career. Also at this point Ezudu hasn't even played 16 games in his career while Pugh has started 119.

Ezeudu is terrible whether at guard or tackle. We plugged a guy who hasn't played in over a year and left tackle in 5 years and he was instantly better.

Is this game and indictment of how bad Ezeudu is as well? After Pugh got settled - he was light years better than Ezeudu.

Quote from: Trench on October 15, 2023, 11:53:07 PMWould u agree Tyrod played better than Jones has?

Not really. He made a few nice throws. But again. 6 points against a team missing its two best defenders. The play at the end of the half was the worst play made by any player in football all year.

Quote from: H-Town G-Fan on October 15, 2023, 11:52:22 PMHe didn't have a running game supporting him. Saquon had two big runs on a single drive that distort the average. For the vast majority of this game the Giants couldn't run the ball effectively. Don't know how you can watch that game and claim otherwise.

That's more than Jones has gotten all year. They had over 100 yards. Most all year by the RBs.

Quote from: Trench on October 15, 2023, 11:49:07 PMTyrod ran the offense way better simple as that.

6 points. Awesome.

Quote from: andrew_nyGiants on October 15, 2023, 11:46:25 PMThe offense scored 9 points with Barkley back and Hyatt having a presence which freed Slayton.

He blew a chance at points in the 1st half and at the end of the game.

How was he a difference maker?

He wasn't. His YPA was under 6. He had a running game. And the OL played very well in the second half. Defense gave him short fields all night.

It happens when your skill players are below average.

Have fun tonight gentleman. Don't think I'll be able to stay up. Probably will be ugly, so just shake your head in laughter

Quote from: DaveBrown74 on October 15, 2023, 02:01:11 PMI'm watching the 9ers/Browns game. Obviously he is in a great situation and that cannot be understated, but Purdy is the real deal. He processes so quickly and his execution is nearly flawless. I think he has a great chance of being a major star for a long time in this league.

The Panthers surprised the Dolphins by getting out to a 14-0 lead in that game.

CJ Stroud is doing a great job in his rookie season with not a lot around him. Impressive stuff.

Purdy looked very average when some guys went down.
