Padron: Improved, still inconsistent

[couch 'em]

Padron looked much better for most of the game. Still has a ways to go.

It's so hard to see from the stands, but I heard several remark that Padron seems to be locking on his receivers.

Compared to what?

He was 14-35 for 169 yards.

Dunno how much is him and how much is the loss of ES.

If he does not improve this year, I hope there is real competition next year, but by whom....a RS Freshman?

I think, there's probably a few things that KP is not doing well. I'm just hanging on until he reaches that point when he 'gets it'.

i don't know, wasn't impressed by the play calling honestly. i dont know how many times padron is under massive pressure and receivers are streaking down the field with their backs turned until the last second.

I don't understand why we don't run more quick slants

The interception was vintage BLM.............

You have to factor in the opponent.

not really, beasley saw at the last second he could get behind the defense, hesitated slightly and padron threw the ball when beasely hesitated. they almost were on the same page for an improvised play. it was an all out jail break what do you want the kid to do. he honestly protected the ball well.

not quite, I don't think. Beasley was spinning away from the defender to get to an open space, just as KP released the pass to the spot he had been in (and, both were scrambling to save a play). as I recall, BLM would throw the ball directly to the defender after forgetting jersey colors.

hoop fan.....great minds, eh?

Just saw on ESPN that we basically doubled the offensive output of anybody that has played TCU to date. Padron ain't right; I think we all see that. Some of that is the two opponents we have faced in our losses.

[ReturnToGlory]

Hopefully we'll see something different next week. Fortunately for us his biggest challenges are behind him and I think we will see him steadily build confidence throughout the season after being tested so early.

indeed.

BLM, give me a break. Have you no memory. Padron is going to be just fine.

Opposing d-coordinators now have 10 games of film on the kid. He has not yet adjusted to being game planned. He has no productive over-the-middle receiver. His 5-9 WRs are invisible running through BCS-level secondaries. He is basically relegated to out routes, which are INT risks; passes to the flat; and deep balls.

Let's just see how we feel once he's had a chance to go against C-USA. I expect good things and some real progress by late this season.
