Quick note on Embry Peeples

[Yaller Jacket]

I still think we should roll him out more. I've been saying as long as Josh has been here that he throws much better when his feet are moving.

He thinks about it too much when he's not moving. He knows he hesitates and then he adjusts for it by throwing harder and releasing later so the arc is lower but the length of the path the ball takes is about the same. That's why all his misses are overthrows.

I would agree with this. But there's another factor that makes the roll out a good idea, or at least it seems to me. I think we could make some big gains giving Josh the option of keeping it if no one is wide open. Josh is fast and he has some wiggle. Let him hit the easy ones, but if he sees a lot of green in front of him, encourage him to take it himself.

Good idea. I'm thinking a nekkid bootleg right with a run-or-pass option from the left hashmark around our own 30 on third and two and Bebe or Hill screaming down the left sideline.

Deep ball accuracy is completely a "feel" thing for the QB... I not sure its a learnable trait. We'll see.

Hamilton learned it. But that still doesn't mean its learnable. ;)

He ran the fastest forty time in the spring that our coaches clocked on the team...it was a 4.35 if I recall. Marcus Wright, Cooper Taylor, and Correy Earls were just behind him..again...if I recall correctly.

Never trust a high school coach timing his own player! : - )

Cooper actually ran the fastest time, but Embry was 2nd with a sub 4.4 time (along with Wright). Dominique Reese was pretty high also.

You are correct...Coop ran the fastest time with a 4.38 and had the best vertical at 38.5".

Embry was the only other sub-4.4 with a 4.39.

Marcus Wright, Corey Earls, and Dom Reese were all sub 4.5.
