Around SBN: Champions League Preview with Jimmy Conrad

Football for dummies


I'm just going to declare the obvious and say that Arizona Football in 2010 is done.  Quite frankly, that performance tonight was disgusting.  Clearly, we cannot beat the top tier of the PAC 10. 

Both of our losses were decisive victories for the other teams, duh. (Yes Oregon St. played lights out that night regardless of the final score).  Oregon St. along with Stanford, Oregon, and USC make up that top tier.  Arizona football reside just below that.  Need I say more?   Yes?  Then allow me to further elaborate shall I.

 

****NEWS FLASH****

Trevin Wade is an imposter.  YES I said it!!!

How many times do I have to watch him give up big plays before he gets benched??? permanently???  (Please don't let me die before I see this happen.  I know the Rose bowl thing will probably never happen but at least this is more realistically in the coaches control.  Grant this poor mans wish coaching staff.)

Because of his ego against Oregon St., we suffered early and often opposing team's pass completions for touchdowns or big gains - TEXTBOOK BURNS especially with regularity.  Oh do my eyes decieve me?  Deju Vu?? on the first Stanford touchdown as well - idenitical reciever patterns - was he hurt on that play too? 

Come On People.  He admitted it himself, he STOPPED working hard for THIS PROGRAM.  He has integrity.  Good for him.  But he took days off because HIS success on the field made him feel entitled.  2008, 2009 SUCCESS! 

And don't even say a word about Iowa right now.  Practically every time Wade has capitolized on big plays (his whole college career) he's seemingly at the right spot at the right time while simultaneously being out of defensive position in relation to the wide receiver.  I'd be so bold as to say that it is for this very reason he has as many interceptions as he does now - because opposing quarterbacks can't anticipate or prepare for something that's not coached to them in practice - basically an idiot in the backfield wandering aimlessly.  Yes, I'm saying it was pure dumb luck it what it is.  Pretty much.  Ok, of all the INTs I've ever seen him make, not one, was due to him getting a good jump on a receiver.  Isn't that what good cornerbacks do?  Isn't that how they normally get their picks???  I've never seen him get his that way.  He's always just running around back there and sneaks one.

And what kind of cushion are you suppose to be giving these guys anyway??  He's like ten yards away? Why??

Go be entitled on the bench Wade, at least you can't help us lose football games there. 

And was it just me or did that first unblocked hit on Foles cause him to completely abandon his game/poise/composure and ultimately thereafter cause him to release most if not all of his throws earlier than he normally does ;therefore, causing an inordinate amount of unusally dropped balls by reliable recievers?  Did anyone else notice that??? 

That hit stayed in the FRONT of his head umm only the entire game.  I wonder how healed that dislocated knee really is.  I sure hope third stringer Bernie's at least getting some good reps....  And what's the ETA on that one mobile-in-and-out-of the pocket-while making decent-passes-guy? (when he's not hurt).

WE could have used him.  Sooner than later.  Foles is not foles right now.  Nor is he fully healed.  Magic is not real.  He needs time.

Man I couldn’t say it better myself, the only thing I think you missed is the horrible performance by our O-line. I could understand getting confused by the moving around and different looks, but at least hit SOMEONE!! There were plays I saw lineman just looking around lost, seeing Foles on the ground. How can we stop one of the highest rated D-lines (Iowa) but not stop WSU, UCLA nor Stanford??? Did they quit after the OSU loss? I am scared to see the rest of our season play out. The teams we beat either sucked horribly or beat themselves as we are doing.

Agreed

Stanford didn’t just send four defenders the whole game either though. They’re smart enough to diguise blitzes and take chances at getting to our quarterback – funny how that works when you try it. But US, so lame and predictable…. I’m done.

Let's not turn in the tickets just yet.

Keep in mind this is only the second loss of the season. Remember when that came in the first 3 games? Be angry, but be realistic. The team will learn from this, and the coaching staff will learn from this. And I agree, as soon as Scott is healthy, start him.
As for Beirne, I’m sure that coach Scelfo has been and will continue to work with him, and he’ll be ready if needed.

Their wake up call was last years Nebraska game. Did they already forget that embarrassment? The way they are playing I hope we don’t get a tough opponent in a bowl game. It might be ugly, again. I know it’s just their second loss, but since the Iowa game the Cats have been on a slow decline. They’ve been playing sloppy football and just getting lucky on very poor quality teams. I hope they improve dramatically this week. Something needs to change. I will be in the stands screaming my head off, again. I still have faith!

Good to know.

I too, will out at the game losing my voice. Probably put away around 4 Sonoran hot dogs before the game. (We all have our traditions…) As for the Bowl opponent, I say bring them on. As has been pointed out before, coach Stoops is learning as he goes. This is his first head coaching job. He learned valuable lessons from the Holiday Bowl mess. I can promise you, whatever happens between now and whatever Bowl Arizona is in, the Wildcats will be focused and ready to play.
Also, fear not for the future. Have you seen the recruiting class Stoops has lined up? Looks like his best yet, and the season isn’t even over yet. He’ll land a few more. Full list of Arizona’s verbal commits on the AZ Desert Swarm home page, on the right side bar, below the FanShots.

I hope so.

Thanks for the the encouragement. Hey any new news about Daxx Garman? Is he at least practicing with the team? I hope his quality doesn’t deminish after being shutout for a whole season.

by F'nA on Nov 12, 2010 4:11 AM PST reply actions  

No news yet, but I'll go hunting.

But make no mistake, his future is very much in doubt. When Arizona offered him a scholarship, it was based on their projections of where he would be as a QB after another year of development. So if the Arizona recruiting staff thinks they have a shot at another 4 or 5 star prospect, I don’t see how they can pass that chance up.
I won’t give up on Garman yet. If he shows up, Frank Scelfo will do what he can with him, which is quite a bit. We are blessed to have him as Arizona’s QB coach.
