There Are Two Types Of Interception

[TheBestAvailable]

Willis: Put me in the game, coach! I won't listen to anything you say at all. But I make lots plays with my feet!!

JJ: Feet? Not familiar with this word, "feet." Please explain

A play made for our team is better than numerous plays made for the other team, correct?

If we get 50% of our first downs by Justin W. running QB keepers and it meant we actually had a CHANCE to win/compete would you take it?

Would you rather have NO CHANCE and have BLM "stay in the pocket like a good little JJ trained robot" simply to throw interceptions in very bad situations(because he's being forced into a situation he's not ready for)?

You tell me what you want? Also, even the greatest of experts are still human beings who make mistakes. It is clear to a lot of people that JJ is making a mistake with the QB decision this season at SMU.

All I could do was laugh last night as I watched the best QB on this team try to catch passes in the red zone from a guy who should be on the bench.

its obvious JW isnt cut out for this system because hes buried at the bottom of the depth chart.

just keep on laughing

[TheBestAvailable]

Trust me I will. It's funny as he77. How stupid this decision is.

We finally get a legitimate coach and he comes here to lose his mind.

BLM was good enough to commit to a school that has actually been to a bowl game in the last decade. If he went to Hawaii, you guys would be complaining that SMU had let another Texas qb leave the state. He is a freshman give him time. JW is a good qb, but not for this system. He could not make the throws the BLM can.

that was painfully obvious last nite. I hate to tell you folks but I'm getting pretty tired of these justifications claiming Willis can't make these throws. There is not much difference in the spread and the Run and Shoot when throwing the ball downfield and reading the defense. Where did you guys come up with this BS. Yes the Run and Shoot requires some quick reads on short routes but Mitchell's interceptions are coming when he is throwing the ball downfield when he has time to read a defense.. This is a total BS distinction. The fact is that Mitchell's % of interceptions is off the charts when he is throwing the ball downfield. He's doing all right on screens and dump-offs to Martin which are glorified handoffs. In the "real June Jones vertical passing game" Mitchell's performance is even more abysmal than his stats even suggest.

JW can also Run in the R & S when a gift is present.

I'm concerned that JJ's system is so structured that the QB is afraid to scramble for fear of riding the pine.

Some of you may be willing to write off this season as a training camp but I for one am not!

JW is a good qb, but not for this system. He could not make the throws the BLM can.

But not for this system?? He threw for 26 TDs in 06 and only 6 INTs. While he may not be the perfect QB for JJ's system, he certainly is the best option at this point. Mitchell has no business being on the field right now. He looks completely lost....and his throws are nowhere near accurate. Honestly, it was just painful to watch him yesterday. Tech is an average, or slightly above average defense at best. Eastern Washington, a D-II school, scored 24 points against them in Lubbock.

Geez there certainly are a lot of great coaches on this board. Willis has put up gaudy numbers and went 7-17. Jones went to the Sugar Bowl last yr and has 76-43 college head coaching record. I am willing to give JJ the edge and the benefit of the doubt on this subject for the time being.

[LA_Mustang]

Okay, since he has a 76-43 record we should not question anything he does??....great logic. He absolutely knows more about football than any of us, but that doesn't mean he can't be wrong about something. My opinion is that he's making a huge mistake in his starting QB. He has consistently said he will put the best players on the field...I don't think he is doing that at QB.

[LA_Mustang]

btw, he definitely made a mistake by not calling a TO after the Sanders catch that was ruled out of bounds at the 1. It was a TD and the coaching staff, the one we should not question, absolutely dropped the ball on that....and cost us 7 points.

5 INT + 0 TD = BLM

So y'all don't think Willis bears any responsibility for the situation he's in? Just asking

If JW's suspension had anything to do with this situation JJ wouldn't even have him running routes as receiver in the red zone .

[LA_Mustang]

He does deserve blame....but from what we've been told, he did everything asked of him to get back on the team...and he has said all the right things.
