Jrship35 Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Are you kidding? Can you even begin to imagine the level of fantasy we would have had to wade through on this forum if Coach Bowden had subbed in the 3rd string QB with KP standing on the sideline?So I take that as a no he was not a better option ?

ZippyRulz Posted October 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 ZippyRulz, please go back and look at the date on that story.It's dated Oct. 22, last Wednesday, at which time KP was 100% healthy. I just hope someone asks at the presser on Tue. why he didn't play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdt1420 Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 The fantasy that somehow we've been lied to and Pohl was still injured and unavailable needs to stop. If he was not medically cleared he wouldn't have been in pads. If you think he was underprepared from practicing only half the week, well, he couldn't do worse than 4 picks in a half.

mes102 Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 If Pohl didn't have enough time to be prepared during the week due to not being cleared til Wednesday, then why was he the backup QB? Why not Hirschman? That couldn't have been worse. I still can't get over the fact that Bowden said Pohl didn't come in the game because "it wouldn't be fair", but he brought Woodson into the game at Pittsburgh, but that was "fair" because Pohl threw an INT in the endzone even though we didn't lose the lead???? When I watch the Zips, I feel more confident in Pohl. Woodson just looks like a deer in headlights most of the time when pressured and that's normal for an inexperienced QB. It's just when we have a better option, I don't understand keeping him out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're over thinking it. Pohl isn't a Bowden Ball guy so Bowden doesn't want him in the game so he dodged a real answer with one covered in altruism. Pohl is just a plain, old, ordinary QB that wins 8 of 11 games without aggression or excitement. There is no room in this program for that type of player so you have seen the last of him.

zippy5 Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 I think the biggest mistake anyone has made was throwing the ball from our own 30 on the last play of the second half vs. Miami. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just when we have a better option, I don't understand keeping him out there.Speaking of being "fair", it's not as if Pohl hasn't experienced many bad stretches of play over the last two years, and has stayed in games. For what it's worth, I love Woodson's talent and his physical tools, and his ability to make plays. On the other hand, Pohl has an edge in experience. I really don't have a preference either way. And honestly, I have no feeling as to whether one or the other truly is better, and it looks like the coaching staff agrees. In fact, I really don't feel as if either of them is a good option....but they are all that we have until next year. I'm just saying.....With the first half that Woodson played, would it make sense to suddenly remove him from the game a few series later? On many, many occasions Pohl has been allowed to play through some very bad stretches of play himself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mes102 Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 The difference is that you can just tell when the game is swinging the other way and there's no way to turn it back the other way. It got to a point where we still had the lead, but you knew it was a matter of time before we lost that game. I had that feeling at Ohio too. I didn't have that feeling at Pittsburgh or Michigan last season. I would hate to see what Woodson would have looked in that game. Not as efficient is my guess. Part of me feels that Ball State's coverage in first half was to see what Woodson could and couldn't do when reading defenses, scrambling ability, throwing abilty, etc. They made the adjustments at halftime, and the rest was history. Unlike most people, I expected a big season this year. I thought we would beat Howard and Pittsburgh. I thought we would lose to Marshall. I thought we would give Penn State a game. I expected a 6-2 MAC record, and thought 8-4/9-3 was very reasonable this season. Apparently I was wrong. My expectations are too high for this team, and on this board too apparently.

Captain Kangaroo Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Interesting that the Coach's Show made no reference to Pohl.That means Woodson is the starter. Not due to injury either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to disappoint the conspiracy theorists.How can a Division 1 starting QB be out due to injury, and it isn't even mentioned on the team's coach show? What kind of bush league production is it? Ok, I know the answer to that question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave in Green Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Wrong, Go listen to the MAC head coach's call. Sorry to disappoint the conspiracy theorists.Generally speaking, conspiracy theorists are predisposed to see only what they want to see when they want to see it. They have an uncanny ability to tune out anything that doesn't fit with their preconceived notions. They tend to stick together in tight little cliques, shutting out the rest of the world as unworthy of consideration. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Z Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 If they ever have AJ Milwee on the show, somebody please let me know. I would be interested to hear him speak. I have heard very little from him.Here is AJ talking about Tommy Woodson in 2013: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckzip Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 I hear that the Greys are holding Pohl at their underground city at Dulce Base to keep him from playing. The Illuminati prefers that Woodson plays as he will be welcome in the NWO.Rumor has it that Akron had a layover at the Denver airport and that's when everything changed.

He is a paid announcer who is given a script to follow. It's the way that every coaches show is done. It's not 60 Minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilltopper Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Who writes the script? Before the taping of the show, Bowden and Joe Dunn discuss what the content of the show will be. The show is designed to make the program and the HC look good so I doubt you are going to see any criticism of either. All the footage is provided by the university and Joe's job is to ask leading questions so the coach can get his message across. This show is not independently produced but is just a marketing platform by UA. When was the last time you heard a tough question on this type of program? Never.
