Re: Loston Ready to Play, Jury out on Shep Gadgetry. We're better than that. Haven't we learned from the Saints that sometimes you can get a little TOO cute? :hihi:
Re: Loston Ready to Play, Jury out on Shep And besides, are the half-dozen trick plays we MIGHT run like this in a year worth burning another year of eligibility for a player that will only get BETTER for us the longer he's around?
Re: Loston Ready to Play, Jury out on Shep If the substitutions were that bad just imagine how awful the game plan and play calling must have been. Can't really judge too much in an all star game. Plus the black teams O-line was pitiful. Or the white teams D-line was really prepared.
Compare Shep to Charlie Ward: Ward TD run up the middle against Miami http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDCgOgtTRCU Ward TD run to the right again Miami http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1VTnrl645E Ward TD pass against Florida http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZsrdVlXG9w
Re: Loston Ready to Play, Jury out on Shep This still doesn't explain how the other two QBs for the Black team outperformed him.
Re: Loston Ready to Play, Jury out on Shep Shepard was 2/6 passing for 106 yards and had four carries for 39 yards. A TD passing and a TD throwing unless I miss my mark. Didn't he have a pass or two dropped also? When you get 6 attempts to throw the ball.. have 1-2 drops, 1-2 completions, and 1-2 bad throws.. that's not enough to say he got out played. Accounting for 2 TDs.. give the guy some credit.
Re: Loston Ready to Play, Jury out on Shep Keep in mind that Pryor plays even though OSU has a QB with BCSNC game experience. We have a QB that won the chick-fil-a bowl. I live in Destrehan and hope that Jefferson can beat out Shepard. I would love to see Jefferson start 4 years and win 4 bowls like Pat White. But it's going to be a tall order. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/recruiting/football/columns/story?columnist=luginbill_tom&id=3801773
Re: Loston Ready to Play, Jury out on Shep especially when the white team, plays there QB every series but 2...it's kinda unfair to rate the QB's equally.
Re: Loston Ready to Play, Jury out on Shep So you think Shep will redshirt? I think he should, but from what I hear thats not his plan.
