Dr Z Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Anybody see the TB Show last week? They interviewed Thomas, AJ and Tra'Von about the QB position and how Thomas plays it. All claimed how well Thomas knew AJ's playbook and what AJ wanted to accomplish. AJ claimed that Thomas knew what he was thinking sometimes before he said it. I would be interested to see what happen if the offense went "hurry up" a series or two where Thomas called the plays. PS This idea would have been way better with MTB in the mix, so he could change personnel without substituting, depending on the defensive personnel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I question your credibility if you think a redshirt freshman is better to lead this team than somebody who was well on their way to owning every Akron passing record before missing the majority of their junior season with injury, you are a better talent evaluater than the coaching staff, and you constantly come on here and clamor for Stewart getting more time when the coach has said repeatedly he has been injured and was even the #1 WR before the injury. Your relative is better buds with the redshirt freshman because they started the same year and is therefore calling for him because he shows some potential. I. Am. Shocked.

Woodson is rhe #2 all time passing TD leader for the Zips, even with missing a lot of last season. He is an excellent pocket passer and I have heard players say that Woodson's football IQ is extremely high, something Bowden has stated over the last week. Kato has some talent but not the maturity or decision-making ti be a starter. I think Ramart is nore likely the QB of the future, however. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kangaroo Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Assuming the invested candidates remain in Akron in 2018, there will be an extremely interesting battle for the starting QB position. Kato is the leading candidate at this time, but Alex Ramart is really really good. I'll enjoy the Zips 2017 stretch run, and think about '18 in a couple months.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to attend a few of the August scrimmages, so you could compare his arm strength and accuracy to his three competitors (Kato/Johns/Kelley). His opportunities were limited because he was definitely redshirting in 2017 and the other guys needed to audition, but he noticeably stood out. You will like him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had surgery in the offseason and just started to throw in June. He didn't get to scrimmage much in the summer. I have heard some people claim there was wind Saturday. Standing on the field, I didn't really feel it though. He's been pretty good at the deep throw throughout his Zips career, I would guess the passing game continues to progress throughout the year. He did not overthrow Wolf on this touchdown. I heard Woodson say, I just missed, no excuses, when asked about his overthrows. But I keep hearing coach Bowden talk about wind. He said it again in yesterday's presser. So I'm assuming the wind was blowing toward the scoreboard, since both TD passes were that way?

Section210Zip Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 No he made the throws into the wind. He struggled with putting too much air under the ball when it was at his back and over throwing his receivers. Bowden also said having the wind at O'Leary's back was why he decided to kick the 48 yd field goal. He figured it would make the fg fairly easy but the fact it was 48 yrds would give Tom some confidence going forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t believe what you hear and secondly Nate has been healthy since August I’m not some random fan and 3rd zips don’t have much history to speak of your acting like he’s doing this at Ohio state and last but not least outside of wolf whose an Ok college athlete, Chapman isn’t a WR what makes him more deserving than players that played the position there whole life the likes of dre Williams and dusty go ahead I’ll wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fre5hington24 Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 Unfortunately I’m not......Someone In this panel answer me why is it Chapman can leap frog so many people in that position group.....you can’t tell me he is more talented than the younger kids in the group.. it’s clear as day what’s going on he’s a senior and they are trying help him get to the next level as a WR and because the young kids have 3 years of eligibility they can sit and wait and if that’s what it is they need to be up front from the beginning with the kids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZIp Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 Next level? Haha. Chapman has no chance at the next level. I think the staff has a vested interest in playing their best players. Not sure why anyone here would think otherwise. Chapman needs to catch the ball better, but I'm pretty sure he is leading the team in receptions...........Chapman is also not an outside WR like Stewart is. Look I like what I've seen so far out of Stewart, its also my opinion that he should get some reps if healthy. Before you hate on the staff, how many other staffs gave him a chance to play FBS ball? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LZIp Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) Calling out the leading WR who is the best athlete in the position group and has the best YAC potential as well as our best WR (really not even close) in Chapman and Wolf just strikes me as odd.The first guys I'd be complaining about regarding playing time is Gladney, Young, and maybe even Bickley. Then again Wolf didn't play the first 3 games so.......apparently that wasn't enough for any of these freshman to really break into the rotation either. And I'll repeat, I have advocated for Williams and Stewart to get some chances as the guys I've mentioned above have peaked by this time in their career and aren't bringing much to the table. These posts just scream agenda to me. Edited October 12, 2017 by LZIp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How ‘bout the guy who is the track sprinter with megawheels that can’t catch a cold. Should we still be playing him and throwing him the ball?

94zipgrad Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 IMO, Gladney & Young haven’t brought much to the table, Chapman has had the targets but not played great yet, he has had a lot of drops & the fumble against Iowa State started the change of momentum, not advocating for anyone as we really haven’t seen enough of the young guys to make an educated guess, plus we knew the WR corps was an unknown coming in, but of what we’ve seen we don’t have a game changer, a player who can make the big play, can take it to the house on any given play, we won’t know if any of the young guys can do it until they get a chance but right now your winning & you gotta try to win the East & the knowns they have are gonna get the first chance, I know you want to see him play but hopefully his time is coming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you give the staff tBotD or not? Some still do. Some have stopped. It’s much like life. If you, as an individual, can inspire others to give you tBotD, you’ve just about got her dicked. The average person doesn’t give it for nothing, though and once you’ve squandered it, it’s damn near impossible to get it back. Word to your mother.

94zipgrad Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) And not trying to be a jerk but according to info I’ve read, Williams is a 4.7 guy who is smaller in size but coach has said runs good routes, Stewart is a 4.8 guy with good size, idk but those are NOT typical D1 receiver speed, Burkhart runs a 4.4 & good size but may not be ready, IDK but as a whole the team seems to be improving, hopefully they keep getting better Go Zips Edited October 12, 2017 by 94zipgrad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
