And, some other wild cards here. Can't wait to see these guys in the spring. And, I have to note, another QB tryout? If anyone thinks Jake Rodrigues is the anointed one at QB, you are missing the message the Aztecs are sending. |

Think it really helps getting the guys in early for Spring Ball . With the 8 additions is it known if some players are leaving the program , other then the former kicker who , did the kick offs then left the team , near the end of the year.

The starting quarterback job will have to be earned- whoever emerges as the starting quarterback should be ready to have a great year- I can hardly wait- of course- I am hoping that the DVC guy will win out- especially since I am his uncle!

That's a lot of kickers on the roster again this year.
I'd forgotten about UAB folding. Hopefully the young man can play!

 Hey it is worth-it to check-out the HUDL videos of QB Adam Wood and WR Curtis Anderson. Wood is listed at 6-4, 215, and Anderson 6-3 190. Wood can throw the ball with accuracy and looks to have poise in the pocket, and Anderson can catch and block. Anderson looks smoother in his routes than Larry Clark...walkonfan...

I have watched all of Adam Wood's games on hudl over the years (I am a missionary in Central America so I have never seen him play live) - he is a shade under 6'4" in his socks- and he is a throwing athletic quarterback that can run when needed- but even when he is forced to scramble out of the pocket he is looking downfield and prioritizes throwing over running- he is a wide receivers dream!- he is also good at throwing to the 3rd or 4th options as he makes quick decisions. He was a starting linebacker and quarterback in high school- and he was a pretty good basketball player as well. He has not had any major injuries. He has 7 younger brothers who are all athletic as well- the second brother Ben (probably the best athlete of the bunch) is a senior at Las Lomas High school and prefers lighting it up on the basketball court to football- although he is quite the football player!
The other quarterbacks (from Oregon and Kentucky) are very good quarterbacks- but the others seem to have some negatives (granted I've seen limited videos of them)- the Kentucky guy can really throw but seems to be immobile in the pocket- probably the result of injuries, while the Oregon guy seems to be a big strong armed quarterback but injuries seem to have slowed him down somewhat as well. The only negative on Adam I can think of is that he started playing quarterback late- his all around athleticism put him at wide receiver and linebacker until during his Junior year when he started playing quarterback- My guess is that during spring ball Adam will just keep getting better- while the other guys have had more quarterback coaching throughout the years and they have probably already peaked- GRANTED I am not a football expert and I am heavily biased- but I think that if he gets the equal reps during Spring training that he was promised that he has a good chance of being number one or two.
Anyways- I can hardly wait until Spring training!

The link below has his stats for last year- 28 td 16 picks is correct- his team couldn't run very well (43rd in JC's California, 11th with the pass) which allowed the defenses to put extra guys in coverage or to blitz- which did lead to more more picks and sacks this past year-his 1st year at DVC he took over the starting job 5 games into the season, and he would take on defenders when he ran and wound up getting hurt and he did miss the last couple of games- but he started sliding after runs this past year and managed to stay healthy. Old Dominion did come in late last year (2014) during the Summer and offer him a scholarship (they apparently did not like their number 2 quarterback situation)- but he turned it down hoping to receive more offers this year. Right before deciding to walk on at San Diego State the new offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach at U of Kansas (he came from UC Berkeley) wanted to offer Adam Wood a scholarship to bring him in this year- but the head coach decided against it saying said he did not want to use the scholarship on a JV guy that could play now- his focus is currently rebuilding so that Kansas is a good team 3-4 years down the road. He is a tall, strong athletic guy that will continue to get better barring any serious injuries- and there are no character problems to be worried about with him www.cccaasports.org/sports/fball/2014-15/players/adamwoodoz36 |
