GunnerBill Posted September 3, 2016 Posted September 3, 2016 Watching the Houston - Oklahoma game. Houston's #41 Steven Taylor at outside linebacker has been mighty impressive. They are moving him around the formation, rushing him off both sides and he is blowing plays up everywhere. Quote

Blokestradamus Posted September 3, 2016 Posted September 3, 2016 Bad day for the 'Liking Baker Mayfield' brand. He was terrible, couldn't let it fly. Quote
GunnerBill Posted September 3, 2016 Posted September 3, 2016 Bad day for the 'Liking Baker Mayfield' brand. He was terrible, couldn't let it fly. His offensive line was pretty terrible. Quote
Blokestradamus Posted September 3, 2016 Posted September 3, 2016 His offensive line was pretty terrible. They were but he was vacating clean pockets. Didn't get rattled that badly last year when protection broke down. What's the deal with Fournette Not watching but I guess the same as the Alabama game last year. Give him no room, he's no good.

Buffalo Barbarian Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 great game. Rosen had killer int at end of game, which should have led to a game winning FG but that guy dropped the ball in OT was the clincher. Overall Rosen had a average game and has a lot of work to do in this new offense but should get better as the season goes along. Quote
YoloinOhio Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 Last name Williams? Check Clemson player? Check Position of need? Check WR Mike Wiliams to Bills in 2017 Quote

Buffalo Barbarian Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 I really like these reports, but ... when did Christian McCaffrey grow to 6'2"? um, maybe looking at Chad Kelly who is above him, could have crossed the lines as I was going back and forth between sites. Thanks I'll get that fixed Quote
mannc Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 Just heard on FS1 that UCLA has switched from a spread to a Pro-style system. Now I am even more interested in QB Josh Rosen who may struggle at first with a new system but this could be a boon to his NFL aspirations. "You virtually never hear coaches talk about the need to change the style of offense so that the sophomore QB has more authority and options at the line of scrimmage. A switch to a pro-style offense is almost never contemplated. Yet, that's what's happening right now at UCLA. When head coach Jim Mora recently discussed the Bruins' new approach on offense with Sports Illustrated's Pete Thamel, he emphasized the need for UCLA to put more on Rosen's plate and allow him to shape the offensive from the line of scrimmage. Plus, in a statement, Mora said this: "What you will see is a multifaceted offense incorporating tight ends and fullbacks into our schemes. Our objective is to be a big, strong and physical offensive unit that has flexibility of personnel groupings." Mora's a former NFL coach, and he just elevated a new offensive coordinator, Kennedy Polamalu, who previously spent six years coaching running backs in the pros. The translation here: UCLA's going pro-style. So, who is this young signal-caller? And how is it that he came to have such a mastery of the game at such a young age that a former NFL coach like Mora would give him the keys to the car? Rosen's story includes two fairly unique attributes. The first is that Rosen is very intelligent, so much so that his desire to understand things for himself rather than taking coaches at their word was labeled as a potential problem by Trent Dilfer after Rosen's Elite 11 camp. The same ability to learn that saw him prepare for college with AP credits (in subjects like physics, no less) that will allow him to graduate in three years also shows up in his ability to understand defenses. The other unique skill Rosen brings to the table is footwork. Although he only ran a 4.99 40-yard dash in the SPARQ test as a recruit, Rosen pulled off a 4.25 shuttle time that compares favorably to many of the DBs he's working against. Rosen is excellent at making quick moves in the pocket to buy time to throw. He's not a scrambler or a guy who should be carrying the ball on designed runs, but his ability to buy time or thwart pass-rushers with a few moves is more than a little valuable. Most interestingly, Rosen's plus footwork sprang in part from his past as a tennis player. Where Rosen is not necessarily unique but is certainly elite as a QB prospect is in his tangible attributes, such as his height and arm strength. At 6'4 and 210 pounds, he has the prototypical build to easily survey the field from the pocket. He has both the arm strength and the accuracy to hit windows that most would be advised to avoid" http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2016/6/13/11886520/josh-rosen-ucla-quarterback-jim-mora If we flop again this yr, we should tank for this kid next yr. If he turns out to be the next Manning then that is an opportunity we can't pass up. It's a nice story, but Mora couldn't coach his way out of a wet paper bag. In fact, it's incredible how bad the coaching has been at the two LA schools the past 20 years, Pete Carroll excepted, of course. Quote
