Fire Farley

[Trapped in California]

This is not directed at Bailey, but if he starts after that performance by Dunne, people will burn the dome down.

Re: Fire Farley

Actually us fans are thinking that too!!

Still early though. Will be interesting to see if Bailey is back at QB against NDSU being that they said Bailey wasn't playing due to an injury. So does he get his job back next week?

Unless he has very compromising photos, there should be no doubt that Bailey is our backup from here on out. The fact that we even have to think about this possibility is the problem with MF.

Re: Fire Farley

Totally agree it's gotta be Dunne next week or there should be an investigation.

I think we'll see AB on the field in some capacity. I think Farley was sitting on that this week.

Re: Fire Farley

Is he really hurt or is this a ploy to make NDSU prep for both?

Re: Fire Farley

Bailey is the backup qb. We need a backup qb. He will practice all week at the qb position. All this talk about him playing a different position has always seemed strange to me. The only position that there is any evidence he may be effective at is running back, but we have 3 pretty good running backs and he cannot just switch to that position without practicing at it. I would rather see him come in at qb in situations where a running qb is our best weapon.

Farley stated Bailey didn't start because he was banged up in an effort to save as much face as possible for all concerned, especially himself and his OC by whatever titled he is called. I'm sure he is banged up, we're 7 weeks into a football season, everybody is banged up.

Yes. I said Bailey should be in at RB. But GonzoCat is right. As I think about it, a "running QB" would probably be the best sort of backup. He's not going to be a true passer who can think through all the progressions. (If he was he'd have stayed in the bigten.) But what is probably wanted in a backup is the ability to succeed without having practiced all the reps, which he generally has.

Under normal circumstances I would agree.

But given AB's athletic ability and legitimate chance to get some NFL looks, and the fact UNI is 3-4 and needs to pull out all the stops to run the table, I don't think there's any way they let AB stand on the sideline and watch for the next month. I think we'll see him on the field.

If you don't wanna risk losing the red shirts for Howell and Ellsworth, you've got Dalton Demos whose worked at QB plus Schulte for insurance.

Who knows. I'd like to see Dunne start and Bailey play as well. Make the bison defense think out there.

Re: Fire Farley

Bailey at wr or rb. There is nothing to think about with him at QB.

Re: Fire Farley

Too much info at once for ya?

Point is...you find ways to use AB and don't worry about him getting hurt. It's win now or never.

If Dunne goes down your season may well be over with anyways. So you play Dunne at QB and use AB any way you can to gain an advantage. RB, WR, kick returns, wild cat...whatever they can install. (I heard from a little bird last Aug that AB had been lobbying for KR duty but of course no one would put their starter out there.)

If both end up injured, well get Demos ready to play out the string and save the two young kids red shirts.

That...my good man...is called a plan.

Re: Fire Farley

It would make sense to put Bailey in at QB on occassion when they're inside the 5-yard line. While it most likely will be a run, the defense will have to figure out who to key on and Bailey can either take it in or option it out to Smith or Malloy. The key for Bailey is to make sure the play moves forward, not him rolling out and scrambling backwards while looking for a receiver to throw to and risk a sack.

Re: Fire Farley

AB inside the 5 wasn't all that successful this year. We've been stuffed quite a few times it seems like
