Chan changes the plan

I can't imagine that's good for Taylor's confidence.

It might give him an opportunity to practice more at "game speed," though. While I don't take anything away from the scout team, odds are they're not as quick as most opposing teams.
 
"Instead of being cocky this week, we're just confident," Oliver said. "We're ready to go out and practice and play our best game."

Hooray!
 
Thought one of his problems to begin with was that he was used to a much faster blitz, coming from all over the place, therefore he was rushing to get rid of the ball. Won't this just make that even worse? If you practice against a certain defense, but then your oppenent comes out and does something completely different, doesn't that mess you up a bit?

Those are my thoughts. The point of scout teams is to practice against the type of stuff you're likely to see, at a speed that's slow enough to learn.

I don't mind a day of starters-vs-starters, but the whole week seems like a bad idea to me, seeing as how we only have ONE problem that needs fixing, and it's QB/WR execution. If I were coaching, I'd do whatever it took to work on that ONE problem between weeks.

Then again, I'm not a coach.
 
If he can't learn how to beat the 1st teamers after a week of playing them, how can he be ready to beat MD's 1st teamers in 60 minutes?

That makes absolutely no sense. He's been up against the 1st defense all spring summer and fall. The scout teams only come into play during the season. And regardless of his receivers inability to catch the ball he's shown no lack of confindence thus far this year under any of the challenges. Granted he may now get to practice on a quicker release if the D blitzs on him allot but that will have nothing to do with confidence. But with our secondary who knows what this will bring...maybe too much confidence.

The problem is not TB. The problem is poor pass play calls from the booth in the wrong situations, 14 dropped passes and 6 very stupid penalties on 3rd an long in the just the last three games.

Ask any of the starters or coaches, TB is one of the leaders on this Team..you don't get that kind of respect from your Teamates by exhibiting a lack of confidence or talent.
 
They aren't going ones-versus-ones on every down. In the Savannah paper it stated they went against eachother 12-15 snaps or so.

Nothing really groundbreaking here.
 
I think it's good, especially for the DBs and QBs, to see gamespeed in practice.
 
The change is not really for Taters benefit. Its to get the whole team, both lines, practicing at real game speed, to create a sense of urgency in practice. For some reason, they didn't have it going against the scout teams. Maybe its because of the talent drop off.

Hooray!

its unfortunate a senior team like this didn't know that already?

its also good that Gailey made parts of the practices quicker and more physical...its about time. You need to do this in college...its not the nfl where the scout teams are fast too.
 
I think that this change will help us out tremendously!! Like to the tune of GT 24 MD 7
