   dentaldawg 1mandawgpack RumRunnerDoogie dsw61  Agreed, and my point was that putting up big numbers in some of those mickey-mouse offenses really doesn’t do much for QBs.  TL has the size and intangibles to play on Sunday, and what he needs is to learn how to read defenses and execute in a pro-style offense as spread offenses just don’t work in the NFL.

   DawgDaddy granger35  The talk isn’t even given their offensive identity, the talk is even given the caliber of WRs that they have signed in the past (Watkins) and have committed in the future.  I could see where that would be attractive to a QB and frankly, don’t understand why, other than our perceived identity as a run-first team, we haven’t gotten more high-profile WRs, particularly after AJ Green’s time at UGA and given how popular he is in the NFL as well as the caliber of QB that we’re bringing in with Eason and Fromm.  However, Clemson also has some really good QBs currently on campus and committed, so that certainly can’t be hurting them in attracting high-caliber WR.

   dsw61 RumRunnerDoogie  Well, I grew up with and am good friends with Charlie Ward.  While Richt was the OC at FSU, they never really had a reputation as having mobile QBs.  While Charlie actually didn’t run that much, he ran just enough to cause issues for DCs planning for games and LBs and safties trying to cover multiple threats during games.  My point is this – most great OCs will figure out a way to highlight a great QBs strengths and minimize their weaknesses.  While I certainly believe that TL would be a better fit in a pro-style offense, it wouldn’t surprise me to see Clemson utilize more of a pro-style offense if they were able to sign him.  That said, let’s hope that TL picks the good guys, which I think he will.

   granger35 The talk is about how Clem’s son is even in the talk given their style offense.

   granger35 dsw61 nope
6. granger35 July 13, 2016 at 9:48 PM

   dsw61 So did TL commit to Clemson?

   1mandawgpack RumRunnerDoogie dsw61 We damn near killed Colt Brennan in the Sugar Bowl. I’ll bet he still has nightmares about Marcus Howard.

   dsw61 Of course nothing says that Clem’s son would not modify the offense for the 3 years TL would be there.  That may be the thinking.

   Having said that it seems to me that he would rather just plug into an offense already built to showcase his skills.  But what do I know?

   RumRunnerDoogie dsw61 Agree some put up big numbers, but a lot of that is due to them scrambling around waiting for a receiver to get open. I don’t think Trevor has that type of athleticism. QBs like Watson and Dobbs cover up deficiencies with the OL. The other thing QBs like Watson and Dobbs benefit from is that the D-Linemen tend to be a little less aggressive in their pass rush in order to try and contain them. With Trevor, the D-Linemen are going to come after him because his ability to escape the pocket is not on the same level as a Watson type QB. Hopefully he’ll think though all this stuff and come to realize that he and Watson are not in the same mold and not interchangeable in Clemson’s offense.

    He looked outstanding to me… pass breakups that caused int’s and int’s… him and J. Williams seemed as if they have been playing together for years. CB is the money position and most likely the reason we lead.

    RobDawg  Ghosts in that stadium.  Too many strange coincidences have occurred that allowed ‘Dosta to win games than can be explained as “normal” activity.

    PTCDawg  Gibbs didn’t have a great showing at The Opening.  While I’ve said before that the format of The Opening should not be used strictly to judge a recruit (as there are no pads, no blocking, etc.), several people who are fairly knowledgeable wonder if he’s playing out of position at CB and should be playing safety instead.

    RumRunnerDoogie dsw61  The QBs at Hawaii used to put up big numbers in the June Jones era, and how many of them play or played in the NFL?
14. RumRunnerDoogie July 13, 2016 at 8:25 PM

    dsw61 would be a weird fit since the pass run option isnt really for him. But at the same time the QBs at clemson do put up some big numbers

    I’m kinda surprised that the Clemson staff was able to convince Trevor Lawrence that he fits their system as well as a pro-style system. I see Trevor more in the mold of a Peyton Manning, Tom Brady or Joe Flacco, than a Deshaun Watson. Hope Chaney and Pittman can sell him on the offensive line that will be in place by 2019. This is from Pittman’s Bio:
    “From 2012-15, a Pittman-coached offensive line has led the SEC in fewest sacks allowed—three years at Arkansas and one at Tennessee. Arkansas allowed only 1.00 sacks per game in 2015, 1.08 in 2014, and 0.67 in 2013. In 2012, Pittman coached the Tennessee offensive line that led the SEC with just 0.67 sacks allowed per game.”

    Sounds Good to me!

    PTCDawg seems to be a very possible to get those three
