And that was his one decent run. He also only had one decent throw. He was 2 of 5. His one throw went to wandale, who was our only offensive weapon yesterday
Unfair statement or assessment of vedral. Who prolly practiced all week with the 1’s and who did not get reps with the first team? I am excited to roll the dice and see the backup get the reps and use his decisiveness to make a few extra first downs along the way as opposed to putting the Defense back on the field and let them rest more. I have not been impressed the AM touch on the ball except to a wide open deep receiver over the middle. AM seems all or nothing and I am ready for a guy that might not be as athletic but can manage the game better and make a play here or there to keep the ball and chains moving. Regardless of injury I think vedral gives us the best chance to win in these inclement weather conditions. AM may be better long term, but for next weekend I want the backup. Could AM have made that 35 yard sideline pass to our best player? Maybe at best. That pass changed the game and gave us a win. I give our best player (Mr. Kentucky) and the backup credit for the win.
Small sample sized. He did look much quicker, not only in his physical speed but also mental processing and decision making. Im not ready to name him the starter 100%. I would like to see him play against MN. MN is a good enough team that it would be a good test for him and the offense, but not a juggernaut like Wisc or Ohio St that would give skewed results. This offense needs something different right now. He might be the piece that brings it to life.
Not sure I agree. Vedral was in for 4 drives. 3 ened in punts and two 3& outs. Plus it's easy to look decisive when all your running plays are called QB runs. He does look faster than am to me however. I think we need atleast a full game of him before we make these sweeping judgements
His one "good" pass was thrown directly towards me. It was not a pretty thing but it got there and Wandale made a great adjustment and catch. That said, I liked how quick he was with his reaction to bad snaps, pressure and covered receivers. I thought he looked poised and ready to play. I have no problem with him starting if AM is not able to go. After finally getting to see AM in person this year, I can agree with some of the assessments that something is physically wrong with AM. It looked pretty obvious to me before he went out with his injury.
AM is a very good QB but is not the runner that our staff desired him to be....his passing will improve when his weapons improve...but there isn't a qb in the country who would thrive with what we have...we have WR who cannot get open and do not make plays...we have no true backs, and no run game...Mills still struggles with hitting holes in this current offense. We basically have no offense outside of a true freshman scat back...and so judgement on the qb can't be made.
IMO Mills is a very good back. He rarely has a hole to run to and he makes good yardage after contact. AM was a great runner last year. It's pretty obvious to me that he's playing with an injury of some sort so I'm not going to bash him. I still remember people bashing Ahman Green I think his soph year because he didn't run as well as he did as a freshman. Turned out Ahman played the entire year with the same injury Taylor Martinez had, a fractured fibula. Something's wrong with AM.
Am definitely looks different than last year. I think it's a multi facited problem were having on offense and a lot of people try to make these sweeping knee jerk reaction judgements that it's all am. Am is struggling, but we also haven't replaced any of the seniors we lost last year with like talent. Some of that is youth and inexperience.for xample i think no by the time jurgens is a senior he'll be better than farmer.
