There's some very good news in that news, particularly the QB play, O-line, WR and RB results against what you would expect to be a time early in the training when the D would make things difficult for the O. Trevion, Hunter and Feaster must be coming along just fine.

Nice to see Hunter Johnson getting the ball down the field.

Only 5/11 but 10 YPA which is really good. Still early on, but Bryant and Cooper haven't really shown that ability yet.

Agreed. Based on stats alone (which, admittedly, are often deceiving) it looks like Hunter had a better day. If you take away Kelly's 38 yard pass from the goal line (which sounds kind of fluky against our defense), he hit 7–13 for a pretty low 4.3 YPA.

YPA means nothing

they could all be 2 yd passes that the receiver made something of. He!! they could be shovel passes.

It definitely means something. In this instance we need some


Mar 29, 2017, 8:35 PM

context because the sample size is so small and those could've been short passes that the WRs broke for big gains as you said, but when you look at YPA over the course of the season when QBs have 300+ throws you can pretty much take it at face value.

Based on the way the coaches are talking though, I don't think it was short passes that the WRs broke off for big gains.

Elliott: You saw him extend some plays with his legs. He looked confident in the pocket. He made some good throws and put together some drives."

Swinney: He threw some really nice balls. He took advantage of his opportunities and made some really nice runs, extended some plays with his legs, but he put the ball where it needed to be. He had the best day today.

That doesn't sound like WRs making plays for him. It sounds like he made some nice throws down the field for some big gains.

The story says this is Coach Swinney's 10th season, isn't the 2017 season his 9th as the head coach?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

9th as full time HC. 10th if you count the 7 games he was


Mar 29, 2017, 8:37 PM

interim HC in 2008.
