Interesting to hear that about Tuggle because all the anti-tugites we saying he was inaccurate and did not have a strong arm.  Hmm.

I never heard arm strength as an excuse.  I did hear accuracy and decision making.

I always thought that we were going to go back to a Beasley style offensive philosophy where Tuggle would run a lot for short-to-medium gains and throw a lot of deep balls (hoping that YPC was high enough to offset a low completion percentage).

I still think that's how it's going to go.  I highly doubt we see a lot of medium distance routes this year.  However, the one thing Tuggle will be able to do is throw the ball deep enough to put it on the table as a weapon.  We'll still throw a cac ton of out routes and curls to the outside, but unlike CCQ, we'll throw it deep several times a game to keep the defense honest and maybe score a cheap TD or two if they're sleeping.

I'd like to agree, but do we really have that many options of guys that have legitimate 'stretch-the-field' speed?
Don't get me wrong, we have some solid receivers, but I can't think of any burners in the mix that can get open by just running vertical routes.

Not all deep routes are vertical, and just having the threat to run them opens up the run game and short passing game. That said, just like last year, the defense will be the problem with this year's team.

Yeah, I realize that, but it seems that typically when Snyder chooses to throw deep, it's more often than not a vertical route. Maybe he'll adjust to different types of deep routes.

How dare you post non-superstar-like info during the spring?!?! How are we ever going to obtain the 2011 Smoke candidates with non-glorious info such as this?

Possible positive:

The fb groupies who hang out at the union are better looking this year than last year at this point in time.

What was that other info we had that said Klein had moved to WR full time?  And I'm not surprised he's running with the ones, Tuggs has only been on campus a short period of time.

This.

and by not overwhelmingly impressive he means "Tuggle is a shitty passer." Probably 2nd worst on the roster.
If Sams comes in and impresses, he has a chance to be our guy this year, nobody else is running away with it.

Quote from: DoDRepeat
Back to Tuggle, Really strong arm.. Very accurate and has good feel of reading routes and hitting receivers on time. Can make the tough throws too with good touch.

One of you is either lying or just a horrible judge of football ability.

Seems like DoDrepeat gets his info from players?  Not sure if I trust some videographer's opinion.  Also, I bet okcat is super butthurt that he wasn't given that honor.

Players are horrible evaluators of talent.  They always think their teammates are the best they've ever seen at whatever position.

I believe it was some third rate website that had Klein at WR.  I hadn't read it anywhere else.

This could be true.. I haven't seen him in person, just info from a few players.

Which is exactly why we rarely hear negative info this time of year. Everyone is all american capable during spring ball.
