My thoughts as well. But so far he's clearly the best option. Here's hoping our O-line doesn't let anyone near TB this year. I think he'll pick teams apart if he gets time.

Todd looked great when he got going. He's definately in command and moves the offense. But his picks continue to concern me. Great INT by Coleman on the first one, but it was a little behind. Lead him a little more and no pick. The second was a bad decision. He got big pressure up the gut and tried to dump it right up the middle. So far, TB looks by far the most polished. But he just can't turn it over like the end of last year. Teams are going to bring the heat like crazy on him this season.
Brian Hartline looks awesome. He's gonna have a HUGE year. He's got it all...speed guy and a great possession guy. A lot like Gonzo.
Henton didn't have any time to throw at all. Hard to really assess him in his first half of work because of it. But he got some nice yards on a scramble and threw the ball away when he had to.
Bauserman looked great. First time I've seen him. Looks very poised and threw a nice ball. But, he didn't have any pressure on him really.
Didn't notice much on D. I'm an offensive mind after all. 
Oh...sucks to see Hines limp off. That didn't look good! |
Nice observations. Just to add, Herron looked GREAT. Like someone stated before, he seems to have great vision for such a young back.

Yeah, forgot to mention that. He did look pretty good.
What are your thoughts on the return game?
I thought it was nice to see Small get right up in there and not jitterbug around. He looked like he was on a mission on that one KO return. Mo Wells had a nice KO return as well. We HAVE to improve from last year in this dept.

Same but I can assure you USC will get to him at least occasionally and he just can't turn it over when they do.
I've got to remind myself it's just spring.
