Even when healthy, Taysom's pocket presence wasn't great.
Something that was always a bit strange to me, given his athleticism.

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

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

No one said anything about "overjoyed".

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Tanner always, always keeps his eyes down field when scrambling
cougarmanguy
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.

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

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

Type of offense has nothing to do with this

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

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

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