Quarterback 2015??

[claw]

Re: Quarterback 2015??

For real guys - imagine Sawyer at QB with Miller beside him and Bailey motioning through the backfield. Put Bailey in the back field. He has the threat of throwing any time he touches the ball, yet the amazing escapability to go with it.

Let's get real crazy - Sawyer with Bailey to his left and Miller to his right. Take the snap, read hand off to Miller and then a quick option look with Bailey who can throw from it too.

We might be onto something if we go that way. It's like Kordell Stewart in a Panther jersey if we do it right.

with Dalton Demos as wideout? (might as well add another QB while we're at it)

If Demo's is a quality WR I see no reason not too. Ger your play makers on the field any way possible. It's clear Sawyer is the play maker throwing the ball. It's clear Bailey could run for 1,500 yards if UNI "wanted him too". Miller has shown, though I know the ISU game wasn't great, that he can be a damn good running back.

If Demo's can make plays then get him on the field somehow

Re: Quarterback 2015??

I've been hearing that SK and Farley don't get along and that AB has been the best QB in practices for quiet some time. All in all if this is the Bailey the coaches have seen then I'm not terribly surprised that he is getting the snaps

Re: Quarterback 2015??

I'd still rather see a traditional QB and AB as a tailback

Raise your hand if you're shocked Farley and *insert any player on the roster name here* don't get along. Buehler? Yeah, I didn't think so.

Realistically, if you were Sawyer would you get along with Farley given how your 5 years on campus of transpired?

Re: Quarterback 2015??

I'm sure AB looks good in practice...especially with MF's afinity for running QBs.

But in a game...as the defense realizes he can't beat u throwing...they pull up their LBs and safeties by 2nd/3rd qtr and close down the run game. And we stagnate.

U gotta put AB in the backfield as RB or bring him in 5-15 plays a game to run his package at QB...which could include a couple throws.

I prefer the latter. Especially after picking up a first down. Run him on the field for a quick snap. Make D totally change their scheme mid game. That would be lethal when combined with SK's quick passing game.

Re: Quarterback 2015??

Yes. And just physiologically, if you do do a hurry up you can't have the same guy running on every play. Otherwise, he's running a 200 yard dash while most other players are running a 40.

Re: Quarterback 2015??

With regard to 4Q QB change, here's what I hope happened

Pregame locker room

Farley - Ok team we are going to run it down their throat this game. And it will probably take about 3 quarters to where down the defense. At that time, we are going to spring our new secret play. Joe, what do you call it?

Joe Davis - A forward pass.

Farley - What will they think of next?


What probably happened

Farley standing on sideline at the start of 4Q, looking at scoreboard

Farley - Joe - whens the last time we got a G** D*** first down?

Joe Davis - halfway through 3Q, before the FG attempt.

Farley - *&**^@%!! Send SK in next. Go ahead at try that thing you keep buggin me about. I believe it when I see it

Between this and the quip about the hurry up subverting the band, you win the thread, Trapped.

Re: Quarterback 2015??

I wasn't able to see the ISU game but watched yesterday. It looked like it took the O-Line a quarter and a half to get the pass protection sorted out. Whenever AB dropped back to pass the receivers didn't have time to finish their routes before someone was in his face. Maybe this is because they were stacking the box because of the run threat but if I was AB I would be nervous every time I dropped back to pass. The pass protection was a lot better by the time that SK got into the game. I thought both quarterbacks did a nice job yesterday. I am not sure we would have been winning at halftime if SK started but I do know he (and a well timed pick 6) locked the game up.

Re: Quarterback 2015??

Just in case any of you were wondering who is the decider on QBs, look at this quote from Farley in the gazette

“I think they both play (Saturday). Coach Davis came to my office this morning and asked which one we’ll start this week. I don’t know that we have to say who the starter is to the players,” Farley said.

BTW Jeremiah Davis is doing a bang up job as the UNI beat writer so far for the Gazette. I think he is providing better coverage of UNI football than anyone right now (discounting Rima and his unique relationship).

Re: Quarterback 2015??

Agreed Jeremiah Davis is running circles around The Courier right now.

Re: Quarterback 2015??

I might be wrong, but I'd have to think that Davis would favor SK....he seems to run the hurry up so much better than Bailey.

Re: Quarterback 2015??

If splitting time with SK is the only way to get Bailey on the field, I can live with that.

Of course my first preference is to give SK 100% of the snaps and switch Bailey to WR/RB, but we all know this isn't going to happen.
