    I actually played against Evans in HS. I guess that dates me a little bit, but when I was in school we actually analyzed Evans to be a spot passer. A lot of the routes that the receivers ran for broughton were to strategic zones on the field, and a lot of the reads that Evans made were pre-snap reads. We did a lot of moving around pre-snap to mess with him. Also he was prone to interceptions because his reads didn’t take too long. He would usually have the work done pre-snap and would just attempt to look off the D a little bit and then just chunk the ball to where the terminus of the route was. We picked him a bunch of times in our game with them, and held them to their lowest passing game of the year. We got to him by confusing his pre-snap routine and reads, and then creating pressure on him with different blitz schemes. I still am not sure whether Evans succeeded at Broughton more due to the system or due to talent, but I cannot wait to see which side of the coin he ends up on. I will say that Broughton’s system of 4-5 receiver sets out of the shotgun the entire game will allow for large passing numbers, but he was a relatively accurate strong armed QB when I played him. I have a lot of respect for Evans, which I cannot say for Stone. This respect comes from playing him; he is intelligent, his sister is a Morehead Scholar I believe, and you cannot argue that he has pedigree. Hopefully he will still gain some yards through the air even in a more run themed attack.

    Thanks cornell, I had forgot about Broughtons offensive passing scheme (wasn’t it a crazy hurry up offense). A friend of mine who was a football umpire had said that it was the wildest thing he;s done in zebra stripes. The center was practically trying to take the ball out of his hands before he gave the ready for play. Maybe this fast break stlye huring up offense caused Daniel to shorten his reads by necessity. It is great that you guys showed up that night and played great football, picking them off a bunch. Unfortunately that offense held field position and turnovers to a smaller standard then your typical football team since the expected to get the ball back very quickly and score fast. This is something (along with slowing down at the LOS to make proper reads) that Daniel has not been served well in his prep years in getting ready for what will be the biggest game of his life this thurs. Good insight, hopefully DE’s maturity and poise will come from deep down and not from what coachs have been telling him to think and react. We will see.

    “since Evans played in game 3”

    Sir, you can certainly read alot into a statement that was not at all intended.

    One more friggin time, I said that someone should be getting playing time, EVERYTIME, especially when the person playing the position has not produced against the likes of App State through the entire first half. There should have been time in the first half to play Evans. What I don’t think some of you dumbass’s are understanding is that Stone can come back into the game, start the second half, third quarter, or whatever.

    At what point would it possibly have more beneficial for Stone to realize that 36 yds passing for entire wasn’t going to cut it. And that if he didn’t show at least some kind of improvement early on through one or two quarters of play, someone else would get the nod. I, Bill Clinton, personally think that it could have jolted Stone (the starting QB) into a better performance against Akron.

    ONE game time experience, when three opportunities were there and playing time (not as a starter) for a back up was fully warranted, were the “golden opportunities” that I was speaking of.

    Follow me closely now Wolfpack4ever, try to keep up here.

    ONE, let me state cleary for you again, THAT IS ONE, SECOND HALF appearance against a PREVENT DEFENSE, has not afforded a backup QB the EXPERIENCE he could have gained by playing earlier in those FIRST TWO GAME.

    Try to think this one out, one time, before you start off on a tangent with another smart ass comment like your last.

    You seem to also have a preference the neutral gear, wait until there is no other option, no subtle adjustments, just make drastic change without working it beforehand, and see what the hell happens.

    Sounds just like your buddy there, the AD, whom you defend almost daily.

    Hey, Wolfpack4ever again,

    After re-reading your post on the Brackman thread, the very first to start comments column, I understand where you’re coming from better.

    You think that someone, anyone, who expects to see reasonable progression and positive, I’m not talking about beating Carolina every time out as you tend to run from one extreme off on a tangent to the other end of the spectrum, but subtle changes that can be attributed to better execution on a regular basis, than the knee jerk acts in final desperation that have happened all over at every level and every facet of the athletics department, we are all just a bunch of beligerant and ignorant fans who aren’t worthy of being around here.

    That is a run on sentence if there was!

    Does the equation work this way:

    Wolfpack4ever – screen name = Fowler + Oblinger (typing in unison)

    Bill Clinton here, finally ready to face the music and face up to my own childish behavior while in office. Inhaling, Whitewater, Monia Lewinski and a trail of other women, hiring a paper eater in Sandy Berger, my fondness for Jimmy Carter, missing Bin Ladin and ignoring his first and I don’t know how many ? attempts to get out attention. You name it, I’m here.

    Unlike Wolfpack4ever.

    In order to obtain and keep good coaches, you have to be fans worthy of it. We need to try to stay on the high road and cheer for our team. Booing just makes you look bad and hurts the players. The players are trying hard, they can’t do anything about the coaches. Let’s quit whining and start showing that we are a classy university worthy of a good coach. We can be winners and it starts with the fans.

    I have been and will be, 100% behind the players in any sport. Also never have tried to run Amato off, or booed anyone wearing State RED. Amato has done too much for the entire program to just walk away now. I personally want him to stick around and make it work out. That being said, I do question some of the recent coaching decisions.

    I was just trying to make a simple observation that maybe some changes and other options may need to be explored. I’ve been saying it for quite a while already.

    Although they’re much later and in a much bolder form than I think should be neccessary, this weekend, those changes will become a reality.

    Oh yeah, if anyone didn’t pick up on it earlier, I don’t like any foolish and pointless comparisons between Bill Clinton and myself. Nothing could be further from the truth.

    vtpackfan—evans was in a system where he would both pre-snap and post-snap read the coverages—pre-snap to decide where to work—post snap for the receiver to throw to—stems, disguises, etc were all accounted for in the process—different than your traditional progression read—one look at one defender and then he knew where and to whom to throw—the quick delivery was all built around the protection schemes which were constructed around the personnel that the caps had at the time—he figured it out pretty well—as i expect him to do this saturday—go pack
