Jaybo with broken collarbone

How is Washington's passing by the way? I don't recall it being too great at the spring game, but I haven't really payed attention to him lately. I guess I have to now.

Whether Jaybo peaked or not is irrelevant. He was by far the best back up QB, and in this offense where the QB is prone to get hit more often loosing the 2nd string QB is a big deal. Dropping from Nesbitt to Washington is a massive drop off in skill and experience. Now that Jaybo's out, time to put the green jersey on Nesbitt aka not more hitting him.

I'll give you experience wise it's a drop off, but it's definitely not much (if any) in skill or athletic ability. Washington has A LOT more athleticism and overall upside for the team. Don't get me wrong. I don't want to see any player of ours get hurt, Jaybo is a good kid and a good QB, but it's part of the game and we can't start singing the blues now. If you run practice to not get hit, you also run the risk of the QB's not being ready for game speed and game time hits. The first time they get their bell rung can prove very costly if they don't know what they're looking forward to

Red Means Stop!

Did you read my post? That is exactly what I'm saying... that teams in general (don't know about FSU, beej's statements are pretty damning) don't go into a game with the intent to cripple a key player.

Quoting myself here but...

What I don't believe is that the same defender will aim at the QB's ankles or throwing arm with the hope that it breaks and he's carted off the field.

It needs work, but so does everyones. Shaw's passing wasn't that great last year. A lot of down field underthrows and had Duke not started Gary Coleman at CB on Demaryius it could've been a lot worse

Regardless the passing game needs work from all angles, Nesbitt, Washington, and on down the line

No I read it and understand it. I'm saying that YES, they may not want the kid carted off or ankles broke, but they do aim for the ankles and throwing arms.

Look at Auburn vs LSU and Glenn Dorsey. Dorsey had a bum knee and Tuberville (aka Ross Perot's Double) had them chop blocking and diving at his knees all night and deliberatly

They didn't want to end a career, but they did want him out of the game....that's my point

Unfortunately that's the game of Football....dirty as it may be and sometimes obvious

I agree if the QB is a fresh/soph but Nesbitt knows whats its like to get slammed. He's a team leader and a vital part of our offense, it's more important he's healthy on game day than getting his bell rung a couple times during the preseason.

Here are some quotes from practice reports:

Tevin Washington doesn’t have any game experience, but he has looked very good in practices throwing the ball, well at least he has to this untrained eye. He had a very pretty touchdown pass in Saturday’s scrimmage as well, throwing a high pass into the corner.

Backup quarterbacks David Sims and Tevin Washington made several good throws in the scales drill, with Sims connecting on three consecutive pretty passes. Washington hit Zach Fisher in the 7-on-7s with a pretty deep pass. Johnson said after practice that he thought Washington was making good progress.

The quarterbacks looked much smoother in the drills on Tuesday. Josh Nesbitt made some very strong, laser-like throws, as did Jaybo Shaw (who has a nice touch) and Tevin Washington.

Starter Josh Nesbitt was 2-for-12 during the exercise, while third-string signal-caller Tevin Washington had the strongest performance, going 5-for-6, passing mostly in the flats and short yardage situations.

With the loss of second-string quarterback Jaybo Shaw to a concussion this week, third-string signal-caller Tevin Washington has gotten more reps in practices to state his case for seeing action this season.

He has not disappointed.

During Wednesday morning’s opening two-a-day session, the right-hander from Wetumpka, Ala., enjoyed one of his better outings of the fall camp, completing several passes long downfield to his receivers.

Of the plays to note, there was one long perfectly touched strike he delivered to receiver Tyler Melton along the left sideline, in which Melton made a catch over a leaping corner deep downfield.

On similar 1-on-1 drills, Washington also connected with backup receiver Quentin Sims on a pair of sharply thrown slants across midfield.

The performance was enough for Johnson to take notice.

Tevin and Jaybo were very efficient during seven on seven drills, but for the second straight day a lot of good throws were wasted by 6 dropped passes.

Didn't make this stuff up :) From either ajc.com, macon.com, or jacketbuzz.com

Read the Navy thread. Johnson has never gone no-contact on an uninjured QB. Not at GT and Navy anyway.
 
TW will be ready after a few more CPJ boots under his butt.

More power to Jaybo, though.
 
If there is a world-class lineman on ST who would like to talk about whether people intentionally try and take out payers on the bottom of piles, it sure would be interesting to read his opinion.

Got proof? I don't think any legitimate college team coaches their players to break people's ankles in a pile. It seems like that is what you are implying. That certainly didn't happen to Josh last year.

In addition to everything else that has already been pointed out, remember where Mickey Andrews spent his playing days.

At Alabama. Under Bear Bryant.

And then look at where he was when an Alabama player, trained to take out other players, training developed by Alabama coaches, shattered a Tech player's jaw as the Tech player jotted off the field.

Andrews was trained by the lowest scum in the history of college football. He's coached under one of the biggest hypocrites. His defences have historically targetted opposing quarterbacks.
 
I hope our team's new goal is for Mr. Washington play the entire second half on Sept 5. They know what they need to do for this to happen. Hang it on em, Tech!
 
If I ever believed there was real intent to injure it would be our game with Auburn in Atlanta in '75. The wishbone was rolling and with late spearing hits they took out our QB, Danny Myers, best RB, David Sims, and seems like one other back - maybe Rucker.

Not to mention the cheap shot from UGA that ended Eddie Lee's career.
 
This really sucks. Hope Jaybo can recover 100%, and not re-break it when he comes back. I was worried about the durability of our quarterbacks before this, now I'm terrified.

FSU is a dirty school. If you don't think so, then you've never watched them. I have no doubt that they will be going full force with the intent of injuring Nesbitt in any way possible, and I don't doubt that the dickless wonder Swofford won't do **** about it if they do.

Come...not Saint Bobby

I'll be the first to say that he's a good Christian man, but his on field integrity is in definite question as far as I'm concerned
