Unconquered

Keep in mind.. Coker and Trickett had the better OL.

Tank Carradine embarrassed Hart today.. he desperately needs a RS.

Not that I disagree with anything you said about today's game, but I honestly didn't care how certain players looked. I was more curious as to who was playing and where they were playing and how they were used. I mean, we know E.J. is better than what he was today. I really don't understand why people watch the Spring Game and think they have a grasp of who got better this Spring and who didn't (not saying the OP did this, just people in general that are complaining about what they saw).

Overall, the things that I liked most in terms of what I was not expecting...

- Brooks was better than I thought. Not just the pick-6 but just being in the right place.

- NLS had a good game, again, not to judge the entire Spring in 1 game, but he looked good.

- Punting...terrible

- Greg Reid had KB on lock down all day. Was impressed with that.

So let me get this straight...

You say you don't understand how people look at the spring game, the only footage we've seen this year, and analyze how certain players looked. Then, you proceed to analyze Brooks , NLS, G5, etc. based on that spring game?

EJ did not look sharp with his throws regardless...is it early and not a big deal? Yeah its not a big deal. Is it wrong of anyone to state the obvious observation that stood out for most of the game? Nah.

I was fine with EJ checking down because he didn't do it enough last year. I loved the rollouts we used for all the QBs.

Predictably, WR and DL looked like the strongest units.

I wanted to see more rushing plays, personally. I couldn't make a determination if we really could run or not.

A 5th year senior QB should look like an all american in the spring game..........not like the 3rd stringer with a ton of potential.

Forgot to mention O'Leary. I think the kid is going to have a "GREAT" year.

What I noticed:
G5 locking down KB.
EJ looking the same as he has for 3 years (I guess I'm on board with Bush's assessment that EJ hit a ceiling).
Wilder seems to get more yards than he should every time he touches the ball, but I'm not sure he's going to break any homeruns anytime soon.
Coker & Tricket both seem to have the playbook down, and the tools to be our starter next year.
KShaw & KB made some nice catches, they should be solid. KShaw takes some hits, that guy is a warrior.
Green, Dent & Haggins got a few grabs as well.
RSmith looked great. He made some tough catches and consistently got up ready to run the next play asap. He looked like he was taking the practice very seriously.

It's a spring game, so I don't put much stock in broken plays that turn into touchdowns. It seemed like walk-ons were in as much as starters - so the score is pretty irrelevant. However, I did like to see the long drives that ended in touchdowns. The offenses in this game looked better than what I saw on the field against UVA and UF last season.

What I didn't see:
- consistently good throws from any of the QBs - all catches are not equal. If you throw it behind a guy and he has to reach and is immediately down - it's a completion, but it's not nearly as valuable as a well placed ball that allows some yards after the catch. Since the QBs couldn't be hit, would they have been worse if they were actually under pressure, or would they have been better because they'd be less in their heads? - I have no idea.

- consistency in the running game. Wilder looked good enough to get us 2-5 per play, but no one else stood out to me.

Based on what I saw (which is all the info I have) - I'll be happy with an 11 win season, but I expect a 10 win season.

Dine looks great
Olinemen look average
Brooks is a beast
Los may need to rethink RB
RBs are average
QBs are good not great
Telvin should play a lot

I saw FSUgonoles24 bashing us over on a Cane site. So he thinks we suck.
