Taggart said they've had plans to use Quinton Flowers the first two games but "we didn't get to it." #USF

 

 

Guess that answers the redshirt question.

Wowza. I could have found 5-10 times last week to get him in the game.

[Triple B]

Can he long snap?

[Rizman]

Who cares, that was last game.  Should of, could of, would of.  Moving on.

Wonder why he would announce this?  Seems kind of random.

[smazza]

if flowers is the future red shirt him

 

if he is better than white or bench play him

 

if flowers is not the future play him in the slot

 

USF NEEDS TO BE CREATIVE AND USE ALL THEIR SKILL PLAYERS

If we couldn't find the situation to use him when out #1 QB goes down on the very first play, I'm hard-pressed to believe they had any intention of using him.  Unless of course they had the package ready for when we're up by 21 with 3 mins left int he game.

I'm sure it wasn't an announcement, it was probably more like an answer to a question ...

[Who'sYourData?]

These types of things just make the coaching staff sound dumb.  And similar things even happen in the NFL.  I would guess they wanted a situation where the game was in control to introduce Flowers and in both games the offense wasn't running smoothly so they didn't go that direction.

 

If you are only going to use him if things are going well, why use him at all?  That tells me it was either a gimmick or a way to make Flowers happy by getting him on the field.  E

 

I really see no explanation which indicates that Flowers would actually add something to the game plan.  So if it isn't something that could help, why bother?  Aren't we trying to win games?

If they have a Flowers package for when we're up by 21 this year, they shouldn't have even issued him a helmet.
