Obvious now that Jaybo is major step down from Josh

[wesleyd21]

You're not allowed to talk about football if you thought Jaybo should have been the starter.

He just isn't big/fast enough...yet.

Kyle's comments are no stupider than the posts calling for Jaybo To replace Josh the last couple of weeks. You cannot have it both ways. Jaybo has a bright future but is clearly not ready to run the offense against a first class defense. He looked like a true freshman yesterday.

In today's world we have two categories of folk.
We have the Optimist and we have the Pissemist.
I clearly am an Optimist, but Kyle, you appear to be in the latter.

I just hope JS doesn't read your post and become so discouraged by his supposedly "fanbase" that he never wants to play again.

He is just not elusive enough, fast enough, or strong enough to keep the ball and get long runs.

AMEN!

Jaybo needs 2-3 series each week to keep his rhythm and timing. Don't fault the kid for playing the first time in what 4 weeks and looking rusty. In this offense the second man will get playing time, its up to the coach whether he's prepared or not.

I completely disagree with this. I hated the whole idea of bringing in Nesbitt last year as a change of pace because it disrupted the flow of our offense. With what Nesbitt showed yesterday, if he's healthy, he's completely capable of running this offense, and it would be foolish to put in Jaybo just to "keep his rhythm and timing". That's what practice is for. You want to keep him fresh, then give him some snaps with the first team in practice, not the game.

What flow? Run, run, pass, punt is not a flow.

I would like to see Jaybo get a little time, but it depends completely on the flow of the game.

rw1, we had 12 possessiosn yesterday which is actually higher than we've had in some games. Would you really want to let Jaybo have 25% (3)of our possessions given a choice?

As bad as our offense was last year, when we actually did get something going, we would send Nesbitt in to run. Then when Nesbitt would get stopped, we would put Bennett back in with most of our momentum gone.

A series does not have to be a full possession, but 2 out of 12 possessions would not be bad, unless he's totally ineffective in which case he shouldn't playing at all. And if thats the case (and Miss State and Duke games says it is not) we are screwed this week if Nesbitt can't play.

And while getting reps with the first team in practice is important, game speed/conditions are different than 10 plays against the scout team defense.

I'm one of the posters in favor of seeing JS get atleast a series a game. I think jaybo did fine yesterday. The first play he had was not his fault. he got nailed on a toss play. we all know where the fault lands when that happens.

On his INT, i didnt get to see JS but I did see Bebe Thomas with one on one coverage starting to burn the receiver. He made the right call throwing it his way. My guess is he threw it off his back foot and he just didn't enough under it.

So yea lets take it easy on the true freshmen because he didn't screw up too bad.

When did Nesbitt get stopped? He damn near ran for a first down every time he touched the ball.

There were several times that the defense either figured out that the QB draw or sweep was coming and stopped it, or Nesbitt missed on one of his ~3-5 passes on the season. He had plenty of effective gains, but defenses did catch up to him eventually.
