From what we saw in the spring, lots more short throws to the TEs: Brunskill and Richardson appear to be coming along with swing passes to the RBs. I don't think the WRs have shown great promise yet, but one or two may emerge, such as Holder and Clewis. But power football is our staple and I don't see that mix of 60-40 runs featuring DJ and Chase Price changing. By August 12 or so, I'll bet we'll know who the QB is. I'm pulling for the kid that started for Kentucky as a freshman. You mention Richardson, but isn't he behind Wells on the depth chart? It would be great if all 3 have good years and we can see some 2 TE formations. YEs, Wells is listed as #2 behind Brunskill. But I think you will see lots of TE passes this year and Richardson is quite a talent with the ball in his hands. I see Wells as more of the blocking TE. It will be interesting to see how Horton has changed the offensive scheme as fall camp unfolds.

Our running game will be even more effective if defenses have to be aware of our deeper passing game. Sure you have to throw to the WRs some, but our strength is power football, which means long drives. Disagree on stretching the field. If we can show we can pass short and intermediate that does "stretch" the defense as it means someone on their D has to cover TEs as well as WRs. Remember last year when we almost could not throw at all and some opponents (Fresno) were able to line up close to LOS? That cost us that game. Horton plans on correcting that. That said, I was at the New Mexico game and they tried it but DJ got about 250 yds anyway thanks to great blocking.

And that is after years of extended drinking of the Rocky Retread Refreshment.

Must it appear in every single thread on this board? How about you complain to the AD and President of SDSU at will and stop interjecting this line of thought in every thread that aren't about the HC/AD/President of SDSU? How about every time you feel the need to interject your boring fire Rocky conjecture into a thread NOT ABOUT ROCKY you take the time to email Rock/Sterk/Hirshman. You are becoming a bore and that's truly sad as you've brought much to the conversations in the past.

He has moves, hands and has good foot speed, like Escobar. Oldie Out

The Spring game , very little of the offense was installed . It was very vanilla/ basic . We will see as they install the offense now what happens . Horton will be in charge of the offense . He has said Pro Style with Spread options . Sure sounds as though it could be rush the ball , short passes to TE"s , also get the ball to the quick skill guts in the open and let them turn short gains into longer yardage plays . Get the ball to DP and Penny in open space . It is a good idea to try to stretch the field but last year we did not have a QB that could throw the ball well , WR's that would fight for the ball or a QB that could do the option play . So other D's would load the box and make our QB win the game . In the Spring game the only long throw and catch was JR to one of the WR's . Wells and Brunskill are both big TE's that block and can catch short ball. Richardson has the skill set to be more of an offensive style TE , more speed and elusive then the other two . They all caught balls in a crowd in the Spring game . Q's will be what QB's step up , does the OL give the QB time to throw , or is it quick plays ?. What receivers make a better effort to get open and catch the ball . Starts with QB and OL . In general the Offensive coaches this year , seem a lot more involved , vocal and pushing the offense
Maybe can we stay on topic . This one is about QB's . Not HC or AD or President at SDSU . there are others if you want to talk about them

Instead of addressing the valid point I made about the "power" topic, you jumped off-topic to attack me. Interesting. Why would you assume I've not written the leaders? You feel I'm not capable? You obviously do not know me.

You mean there is something other than the "faulty" leadership, that you actually comment on? Must've missed that day.

This thread is a disaster because it is a battle between three QB's not two.

You're free to spew anything you wish as redundantly as you wish. It really is of no concern to me. I'll just chime in every once and again to make fun and/or light of you. No fantasy here. But I'm starting to wonder about you.

I'm pretty sure MOW did not get a coveted position he applied for in the SDSU athletic dept and has now made it his life's work to tear down the people in charge. It's a classic scenario with all the tell-tale signs, which I'm sure MOW will vehemently deny. EBT payments are undoubtedly nearing their terminus.

Let's allow the speculation to continue....although I think we can now officially call this thread derailed. Nevertheless, I do appreciate your sense of humor missiontrails. Good wit, even though caustic at times.
