Quarterback Situation

(1/5) > >>

FOOTBALLFEVER:
For the year we are 62 for 118 with 7 td's and 8 int's. In conference play we are 26 for 56 with 1 td and 6 int's. The good thing is we are sitting at 5-1. It is my understanding that Hunters shoulder is just fine, but he is on his way out and can't play..We need to move forward with what we have and forget about the possibility of him playing this year. Having only 2 quarterback's on a roster is a offensive coordinator's worst nightmare and a defensive coordinators dream come true. Keep in mind we still have half the season to go plus the playoffs if we can make it. Monty will have to be very selective with what he does with the quarterback play from here on out. The Defense will have the upper hand in how they defend us..at some point we need to start being more productive in the passing game 

IAA Fan:
Nice post Fever; what do you think will work on establishing a better pass game? I think option could work, but that is just as bad on the QB ...if not worse. Does anyone know the rules on partial season athletes? I do have a lot of faith in Montgomery though and I think that if Wells continues to work with the team and is willing to do scout this week ...we will be okay.

Wells is still hurt. Hurt enough to where he can't even throw the ball on scout team. It's going to be Davis and Mays the rest of the year. It's defense or bust for this team.

go guins:
One thing that hampers the pass game is the QB isn't getting any help from the receivers.  We need some separation and somebody to “go get the ball” once in a while.   

We are also going to need to shorten up the routes.  The INT's on Saturday were late and long across the middle.  Need to be shorter and quicker.  Hard for a kid, but otherwise you get ints.

I agree with 1AA on the option. The debate on hitting the Qb will wage on forever and it's not a easy call for the official's to make. Most often then not it is acceptable to them unless there is a deliberate blow to the head. Our defense would not treat defending the option play any differently. I don't know the extent of Ricky's injury, but it seemed like his knee/leg got buckled pretty good on the running play. He's a tough kid and for him not to return to the game tells alot. I don't know how you can risk him playing this week unless he is strictly going to hand off and throw from the pocket. On Nathan's int he made the mistake of rolling out and throwing back across his body under pressure..That's just youth. I feel there are some high percentage passes Shane could put in for him. I just don't think he is ready to throw into the heart of a Missouri conference defense. It was a really good sign for him to find Webb on the Wheel route up the sidelines. Our weakness right now at quarterback is the ability to read defense's and we are using the run to set up the pass..Bottom line this is just a tough situation to be in right now
