Its not like Tanner is a sitting Duck in the pocket!! This is what kills me,

people act like Tanner has led feet and can't move in the pocket. He obviously isn't the runner Taysom is, but he is plenty mobile in the pocket. See FR season, he scrambled very well, buying time for his receivers to get open. The Boise State game comes to mind. He can and he will be able to move around!

Do you realize how many programs would love to have a 9-4 record?

3/2/17 10:16am

That is such a simplistic view. I'm glad you're overjoyed with nine wins in 2016

SandYFan

3/2/17 10:16am

No one said anything about "overjoyed".

soupie

3/2/17 10:18am

9 win seasons are a success -- especially for a first year head coach

It's a shame you've considered driving off a cliff because of a 9-4 season.

I don't agree with this. VERY FEW predicted 9 wins last year.

No, they didn't. No, they wouldn't. Nor would any coach.

"Nor would any coach" - Plenty of coaches would make this kind of promise.

You don't promise starting spots. You promise competition.

The OL should be more solid this year. Will be more experienced if guys come back healthy. It needs to be.

3/2/17 9:42am

Has Hans ever had anything positive to say about the OL or DL?

ColoSpgs

3/2/17 10:07am

He was actually very complimentary of the interior guys on the OL

Having Lapuaho back will help a ton, and IMO Kieffer Longson is going to be a

TM doesn't get enough credit for his mobility. Sure, he's not TH vs TX but very servicable for a QB.

In some ways better. Taysom took a ton of sacks by waiting too long and

Shteve

It gets ignored because he uses it to find receivers, not to run.

southernfriedcougar

3/2/17 11:45am

Tanner always, always keeps his eyes down field when scrambling

3/2/17 11:47am

To me, that's what scrambling for a QB should look like. Tanner won't switch to a RB mid-play but that's good.

soupie

3/2/17 11:51am

Amen

3/2/17 12:05pm

That's why receivers got open downfield too. They knew he would throw it.

That 3rd play from scrimmage vs Boise in 2015....man, what a thing of beauty.

I think it's more about timing than throws being "spot-on." Our poor pass

Even when healthy, Taysom's pocket presence wasn't great.

Downtown

3/2/17 8:48pm

Tanner is an anticipation thrower, which you want. Taysom was a wait until

ag4cougs

3/2/17 11:18am

Um, how do you know that? Has Tanner run that kind of offense?

3/2/17 2:19pm

Type of offense has nothing to do with this

southernfriedcougar

3/2/17 2:26pm

It absolutely does. It wasn't called for in the Anae 2.0 offense, so Tanner

3/2/17 2:37pm

Timing is part of every passing offense. Anae 2.0, 1.0, pro set, spread.

ag4cougs

3/2/17 2:58pm

Um, because good QB play requires anticipation throws. Did you watch

ag4cougs

3/2/17 2:57pm

You realize Tanner played in several games this year, right?

rggee

So take quick drops or move the pocket. There are ways to buy time that don't

Look at the best NFL QBs they arent sitting in pocket for 20+ seconds

Y4LYFE

3/2/17 1:56pm

But they do sit in the pocket for more than 2 seconds,

byu_coug

They also pose a threat at two seconds or less with their arm.

Tanner could easily hand the ball of to Jamal and throw quick slant and outs

on the flipside, our OL would pass protect a lot better if the QB's didn't hold
