If anyone knows how Manatee's offense was run, this should be the same way. One or two word call and the rest will come from the cards on the sidelines. Many schools run this type of play calling. If I'm correct, the card is going to be for the lineman and the blocking schemes mostly. Can anyone confirm that? On a side note, this should help CWT a little but I will note that after watching Kinnan call plays for over 10 years, he used to frustrate us as well with the slow play calling as well.

That Kentucky game will get ugly real quick. Running with two PGs on the floor and a coach talking about his best recruiting year ever?!?!?!? Don't look for this one to be anywhere close. I was kind of hoping this matchup didn't take place for another year or two. But I guess it'll just be one of those 40 point losses. I hope not but it's hard to compete against schools that continuously reload like they do.

I think Mack will excel in the new system and it will take some of the load off him as well. Mack had over 5 yards a carry and average nearly 90 yards a game on the ground last year in a horrific offense. Spreading things out and allowing Flowers to run and possibly option the ball to make in space could surprise a lot of teams this year. Hopefully our wideouts and TEs can block with out holding this year. If we can cut down on our flag count, we should look much better this year.

We get yelled at when we merge threads ... Merge it if you may. My feelings will in not be hurt.

Honestly, I don't mind if the waiver is denied and would like to see how Flowers can run the spread/read offense. I think we have great running backs as well as flowers acting as a runner as well with his build. It can def work only making Flowers make quick easy throws and letting the guys in space catch(yes I mean actually hold the pass) and make plays. Get back to fast Florida football. I think Woulard will help the defense get faster and learn to contain a little better as well.

Your comment leads me to believe that you don't think we have a QB on the roster that is starter material. If so, you are not alone in your thoughts. I don't know. All I know is that in limited action last season, Flowers put too much air under his throws for my taste. Was that nerves or inexperience, I guess we'll find out soon. Kean and Woulard are unknowns at this point. The position seams to be Flowers to lose. Let's hope he's as, "special" as CWT has said he's been. One thing I don't get is the choice of system from the start. You're in Florida with mostly the leftover talent that didn't go to the Big 3 but are still quality kids with lots of speed. So why try and use a pound the ground style when most of the kids were used to playing a spread offense or a read option? We burn White's redshirt with how many games left? Now we have two(or had two) different style QBs as mentioned and switching to a spread/read attack. I can only imagine if we had used this from the start.

Will it be raining that day?

Does he still get to run the scout team in practice? If so, I think this could make our defense much better having to deal with a mobile QB(along with Kean) as so many schools run a quick pace offense. Does anyone agree.

What if we had a great QB? Plenty of teams had good QBs and still didn't perform. So, I would say just that. "What if?"

I have a question. Did we actually have a QB on the roster that fit what we planned on running or did we try and run a pound the ground style due to no real faith in any QB?

Yes, if we can't get the plays in quicker than last season!

There's no way he get the waiver approved. Aaron Lynch got his denied and I don't see this being any different as there doesn't appear to be enough of a hardship to approved it.

Well if I recall(not that it matters now) but couldn't we have had Teddy B but Skip said he wouldn't give him the starting spot and Coach Strong did. i remember his visiting, but I don't remember reading anything along those lines. also, wasn't BJ the starter at that point? I stand corrected. Sorry he didn't start until game 4.

I can roll with this!

I disagree and I think it all depends on the situation. There have been plenty of true freshman to play right away and if a team is short at the QB position like we are, you're going to see plenty of freshman start. Here's a quick reminder of those youngsters that played right away.

No... it's "financial aid" ... as long as they remain "student athletes" and are not classified as "employees" (see the Northwestern NLRB case) It may be treated as financial aid but it WILL be taxed. The university will be able to withhold the taxable portion of the stipend to assist the athletes if they choose to do so. I'm not sure how you think it won't be taxable, "but I could be wrong(in Carmin's voice)". LINK It might be reportable but unless these kids have significant reportable income coming in from somewhere else (which the vast majority of them do not) it would probably be below the taxable threshold. This could get messy with tax implications and if it's NOT treated as taxable income, I see the government wanting a piece of the pie. Let's see, the Feds already take what they call an "Origination Fee" on Federal Loans such as Stafford Loans and do absolutely nothing but pass the debt along to a loan servicer such as Nelnet. You can bet they will want a chunk of this extra money. Just my thoughts working within higher education. Since $4500 is below the individual deduction... even if the income is listed as taxable, since these players will be earning almost no other income, chances are they pretty good they will not be having to actually pay taxes. Agreed, but your original statement was that the stipend would NOT be taxable. I think we have all come to agree that there will be little tax(if any) paid on the income.

What?!?!?! Are you just attempting to increase your post count?

Exactly.

I would guess after Brady appeals to the Supreme Courts.....

Just a fun little topic looking forward. What will stands look like before and after their band leaves the field?
