K92 Posted August 31, 2010 Report Posted August 31, 2010 article "I'm the leader," Nicely said. "Listen to me and that's how it's going to be. I'm not backing down from anything." I hope he can perform so the rest of the team can follow and feed off his confidence. Do we have a budding star here? Quote
Dr Z Posted August 31, 2010 Report Posted August 31, 2010 "Our offensive system is one where we fit the system to the personnel," Ianello said. "But I do believe that our quarterback has to be able to be under center, because we are not a spread team. You have to be under center because now, the defense will always have to defend the run. We will be in the [shot]gun, but I'm a believer that you've got to be able to get that center-quarterback exchange done, and we will." Throughout spring drills, Nicely struggled in that regard, as more than one center-QB exchange was botched. During preseason camp, the snap has gone much better, but the transition was slowed even more by the fact all three centers were injured during one week of practice, pushing Akron's first scrimmage back by at least three days. Nicely admits it has not been easy. I'm sorry for the umpteenth reference to 'Hard Knocks', but they did a small piece about the center QB exchange when Joe Namath visited camp. Sanchez was having problems too. It amazes me that this is still an issue at the NFL level. I'm going to be keeping an eye on it early in the game. Hope it doesn't result in a TO. Quote

I saw that...Wasn't he saying hands on top of each other? Poor Broadway Joe, he looks so beaten down...at least he sober now! Quote
