'19 NC QB Sam Howell

[MADISONGAVOL]

Zone. Gonna have some man in there. But the bread and butter is zone runs. And one cut and downhill runners. Banks is the future.

I personally prefer zone ...good news doesn't zone typically get lineman in second level vs man

I have dreams of watching our line doing their best Travis Fredrick/Zach Martin impersonation and blockbuster by linebackers and dlinemen 15 yards down the field.

Heck, if they could’ve learned to cutback and the TE held their edges there was about 1,000 yards left on the field. I think our backs ran with power and use their off arm well, just ball security and reading the gaps. We were even shoving people around in the first half of the UGA game. Just not making plays.

More play action can take the wind out of those DEs sails, but it wasn’t used enough last year.

Well in that case, Mr Crompton was only 6'3".

Sims had a better season. Two inches. :wink2:

 

[LaagerVol]

I'm gonna miss the shotgun from the 6" line 3 times then throwing a INT. Just sayin

Some people on here defended that. Blows my mind.

 

[Dooby15]

I think he’ll be a Howell of a player

You can see yourself out Nick.

A 6'2 QB once came out of the hills of Western Carolina and was a great QB for UT

That was Heath Shuler

I didn't think he was that tall

I think they fudged a little on his height

Probably somewhere between 6 and 6'2

Neither was the average linemen back then. Things change for a reason.

I was considered a Butch defender. I openly detested Byrd being wasted at WR, not using our best returners in favor of “safer” options and not incorporating the offset I into the offense as DeBord wanted. It all boiled down to trusting that the coaches knew what they were doing and it would work out. Always said that the final verdict would be realized no matter WHEN individual fans got there. My approach didn’t affect his timeline and neither did the one’s of fans that preached failure from the beginning.

Drew Brees thinks he’s tall enough. And no, 6’3 isn’t undersized. It’s actually the average height of an nfl qb

I defended him til UF last year.

I was unofficially done by UMass. Get it done now after UGA. He lost the team after Florida imo.

Howell is 6-2. Might grow a little more but his height is fine. His passing skills and leadership are what we're recruiting. He also has a high chance to come out of Summer camps a composite five star and #1 overall pro-style QB.

I think 6’2” is plenty tall enough. Hollaway is like 5’10” you don’t see that much anymore. The average lineman was around 6’2”. You could play QB at 5’10”, now the average lineman is around 6’5” that’s why you’re going to need to be 6’2 or so for today’s game. There’s always exceptions to the rule but not the norm.

Lots of people in the RF football talk thread did. I had multiple back and forth discussions about it.

If you are talking about multiple discussions, Bruin is just one poster. He just appears to be multiple.

correct. I got to meet him once, and he is pretty close to 6'2". Im close to 6"1" and he is a hair taller than me.

 

[orange parmejohn]

Getting the #1 PS qb on board would be great offense recruiting bait.
