Throw Downfield

[carolina scarlet]

Hey Guys:
I pray for the best today but what I am specifically watching is whether we start to throw the ball downfield. I have been watching Rutgers football a long time and while we can disagree on the QBs' who have played here, I personally have never seen a QB at Rutgers who could throw downfield like Mike Teel. Suddenly at least in his 2d year, the ball was going inside on crossing routes and occasionally the long out.

I have seen them all from Jack Callghan to Jack Emmer to Ed Mcmichael to Savage. McMahon, Nova et al. But Teel changed the game for me and I have not seen it since. Not saying he was the greatest but am saying that downfield attack is what we need now.

By downfield, are you including 10-15 yard completions? I think we need to see more passes over the middle in this intermediate range.

Mike- glad to see you posting again. I hadn't known you moved down to the Carolina's- I thought you were still up here in the NY/NJ area

I intended this to be a heartfeld serious post. I only wish in HS and at Rutgers I had had the career Teel had.

Can you respond to my premise that we need the QB to open up the middle run and the sideline pass for minimal gain to occasionally throw the crossing and downfield pass.

And, I am not Mike Teel.

I just hope we outscore the opponent and don't much care how we do it.

"Aces in my book"? Just how old are you? That's, like, a 1920's saying. 😝

He could throw trash cans 75 yards? That is impressive.
