Quarterbacks

Re: Quarterbacks
Dawkins has done more than enough to win the starting job over a healthy Anu. Dawkins' threat to run pulled 2 defenders off receivers opening up Brown on the first down before we scored at the end of the 4th. He can make the throws, he just needs to not be so quick to throw it away. No way we were even in this game as late as we were if Anu started.

I'm a big fan of Solomon, but Dawkins took the starting job tonight.

Absolutely. He gives us the best chance to win right now.azpenguin wrote:I'm a big fan of Solomon, but Dawkins took the starting job tonight.

Re: Quarterbacks
Somebody explain to me where are the plays to Griffey and Poindexter? I know they were running well and the JJ news is fucked, but a little more passing up top . . .

Re: Quarterbacks
Poindexter got 2 catches in a row before he hobbled off the field. Don't remember seeing him after that.BearDown89 wrote:Somebody explain to me where are the plays to Griffey and Poindexter? I know they were running well and the JJ news is fucked, but a little more passing up top . . .

Re: Quarterbacks
Yeah Poindexter got hurt early on and was out the rest of the game. Dawkins has got to find Griffey though. It was very curious how Dawkins was 11/11 to start off the game and then just fell completely off in the passing game.Fishclamps wrote:Poindexter got 2 catches in a row before he hobbled off the field.

Re: Quarterbacks
Anyone notice that the final play was go get it type of play to TJ. No idea why you wouldn't want Griffey on the side You are rolling to.BearDown89 wrote:Somebody explain to me where are the plays to Griffey and Poindexter?

Re: Quarterbacks
That Dawkins, Stiff arm to avoid the sack, "get off me", run to the right and then toss for 40 was a thing of beauty.
Anu would've been sacked or run out of bounds.
Love Dawkins.

Re: Quarterbacks
Well and the 2 times he threw to Griffey were PI's on Washington.

Re: Quarterbacks
Okay, I missed the Poindexter injury. I like him. And then Griffey, for those who can pick it up, is he not getting open or can BD just not get it there yet, or something else?

It looked like they were doubling Griffey with their safety over the top.BearDown89 wrote:Okay, I missed the Poindexter injury. I like him. And then Griffey, for those who can pick it up, is he not getting open or can BD just not get it there yet, or something else?

3. Brandon Dawkins, Arizona: The Wildcats ended up falling 35-28 in overtime to Washington, but Dawkins delivered a darn near superhuman performance down the stretch to keep the underdogs in it. First came a 56-yard run in which Dawkins' long strides and impressive upper body strength made him resemble Colin Kaepernick in his prime. Then came a Houdini act of a play: Dawkins escaped a sack, ranged to the sideline, and then unleashed a 54-yard strike to Shun Brown while falling away with a rusher in his face.
Re: Quarterbacks
Braxton Burmeister keeps setting big-time San Diego Section records (and be sure to check out the embedded video interview... kid has a winning personality, too).
Burmeister sets another San Diego prep record

Re: Quarterbacks
He seems to have all the tools but to be fair those records are not being set against the top level of Cali football.
What JJ Taylor did last year number wise was truly impressive given the level of play it was accomplished at. BB is playing like 2 or 3 levels down from the top.
Still he looks like he has all the tools to succeed at a high level in college

Re: Quarterbacks
I hope Dawkins gets healthy because he is the only qb who gives the Cats a chance at a win.

Re: Quarterbacks
I kind of like this Lev guy. he asks and points out tough things. I know he used to cover the USC Trojans so I am sure he is not shy like a lot of the other home town scribes.
I think it was him who asked RR about being 0-3 and the teams mindset when RR then bristled bak about nobody likes losing and that they wouldn't quit. Sure looks and sounds like some of the players have. Maybe time to ask that question again

Re: Quarterbacks
And in both of those instances, he's staring right at the receiver. It was really frustrating to hear Tim Brando rag on our receivers for not continuing to work to get open when the play breaks down. I'm watching, thinking "yeah they know there is no chance the ball will get thrown." Nice that Lev confirmed that thought.
