Dr Z Posted November 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 If had a dream, it might go like this. Kato is able to play today, but his injury limits his ability to move out of the pocket. This forces him to keep his eyes downfield and go through his progressions. The Zips light up the scoreboard with Kato throwing for 400 yds propelling the rest of his college career as a pocket passing phenom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZIp Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 Somewhat what Dr. Z is getting at, if Kato is good to go, I have to imagine he is nowhere near as mobile as he normally is. Hopefully his accuracy is on point, and the OC calls plays that put him in a position to succeed. The offense likely shouldn't be the same, even if he does play. To the contrary, if he isn't able to play/plays but ends up being ineffective, at least we have had 9-10 days to prep and Ramart should have gotten plenty of reps, so more prepared than last week. I predict a close game either way. Hopefully we can pull something out of our hat. I think a bowl game is important for this program.

I predict a close game either way. Hopefully we can pull something out of our hat. I think a bowl game is important for this program. Think what's important is that Bowden and Co. show they can beat some quality MAC teams on more than hoping they 'can pull something out' all the time to do it. Every team has injuries or other maladies(suspensions etc) to key players every year. Do the Zips win the division last year if Nelson doesn't play. This group has a chance,no matter who is at QB to show that the program is actually moving forward. Win the last three,good indication it is because they have to beat at least a couple of good teams to close it out. Lets see what happens when ALL the votes are counted. But, as was said earlier this week Nelson would have to make one heck of a recovery to be effective this week. Ramart is a different type of QB. Wonder if he returns next year if he thinks he might not play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He came into a game in progress, cold, without a lot of reps with the first team. It was also a gameplan built for Kato. To some degree I have noticed teams struggle against a backup because if the lack of film on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zipsoutsider Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 Our D needs to step up to this run game and force them to throw it. We need D to either give us great field position or score for us, today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottditzen Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 There are more players than fans at this game. Also so we have a better chance to win by direct-snapping the ball to Van Edwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need some help to take the pressure off of Ramart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zipsoutsider Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 (edited) It is sort of unbelievable that EMU only has 7 points and that this is still a game. Edited November 10, 2018 by zipsoutsider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zipsoutsider Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 We need to let Ramart throw down field and maybe call a QB draw.we are so fenced in we cannot dig out this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
