You're telling me that running 2 plodding TEs in routine 12 personnel and just shifting them pre-snap every single down isn't what constitutes and electric offensive philosophy? Well I'll be damned.

David Wunderlich @davidwunderlich.bsky.social · Sep 8

I miss having an offense where the guys running it came up with new ideas

It seems like BlueSky hit a wall. Not sure what the stats are but even popular posters here get a likes. Twitter still seems to be significantly ahead of BS. The issue I still face with Twitter is that almost every post I make is liked by a bot. And almost nothing I say here gets interaction.

Josh @raptureveteran.bsky.social · Sep 8

So we have at least one leader on the team? That's solid news. I'm sure it'll lead to tremendous changes.

Josh @raptureveteran.bsky.social · Sep 7

This isnt the answer to your question, especially since you paid, but I do have links to working Redzone streams if it comes to the worst for you

Josh @raptureveteran.bsky.social · Sep 7

Yeah spitting on someone was wild. Kick him off the team for all I care.

Josh @raptureveteran.bsky.social · Sep 7

It very well could be. In that instance this further falls on Napier because he has zero business playing qb for Florida until he is completely healthy.

Josh @raptureveteran.bsky.social · Sep 7

I'm trying not to be harsh but anyone defending Lagway as this future first overall pick that can carry Florida to greatness clearly has very little knowledge of how the QB position is supposed to work. Ignore his comp % today. Note all the screens and short throws. He's not good

Josh @raptureveteran.bsky.social · Sep 7

There is a strong chance that Jones is better. And even if he isn't, with the portal now you can EASILY upgrade over Lagway when the new coach arrives in December/Jan.

Josh @raptureveteran.bsky.social · Sep 7

Lagway has looked so bad, lacked so much confidence, his mechanics are so all over the place (and again, not sure how much of this is lack of reps vs coaching or both) that any future threat of him transferring when Billy is fired should be ignored.

Josh @raptureveteran.bsky.social · Sep 7

When Florida starts 1-3....1-4....I am completely fine with Jones getting a look as the starter. I know it was LIU, but Lagway looked shaky and lacked confident against LIU. Jones was flourishing and shined in these departments.

Josh @raptureveteran.bsky.social · Sep 7

He over threw a ton of receivers today. Just floating balls high. Yes, there was the big drop by Tony and you can debate whether or not Brown should have caught that ball in the 4th. But Lagway looks just flat out bad, bad to the point that.....

Josh @raptureveteran.bsky.social · Sep 7

Post-snap he has happy feet, he again isnt sure as he scans the field, he locks onto guys more often. His mechanics look bad. He looks shaky in his process. His footwork is bad. He's not throwing with any confidence outside of a few throws.

Josh @raptureveteran.bsky.social · Sep 7

A year ago when he looked like a stud freshman QB, he was throwing the ball with total confidence. Pre-snap he knew what he was doing. He was tall, confident, looked like a leader. Now? He looks shaky, he looks unsure of himself, unsure of the play. This is just pre-snap.

Josh @raptureveteran.bsky.social · Sep 7

I am not going to sit here and say I understand why he didn't practice. Whether the nagging injuries were that bad, whether it was a family decision or just peak stupidity from Napier and the staff. But he looked flat out horrendous at several spots in this game. BAD.

Josh @raptureveteran.bsky.social · Sep 7

Let's talk DJ Lagway.

He is not a good QB.

I can sit here and say he's bad. Would be a slight exaggeration, but I'm comfortable saying he's below average at best right now.

Josh @raptureveteran.bsky.social · Sep 7

Florida lost this game for so many reasons that don't come down to a safety. Eliminate the safety. USF is scoring a td at the end. It took them 3 plays to get into plus territory. They were at our 20 with a minute left. I wrote a longer thing but there's so many reasons we lost.

Josh @raptureveteran.bsky.social · Sep 7

I never bet but I'm going to open accounts and just bet against Florida for the rest of the year. I'm going to make bank

Josh @raptureveteran.bsky.social · Sep 7

At best I see Napier lasting until after florifs loses again to Georgia. And when hebusbuktikwtrltndired there is not a scenario where Scott Stricklin should have any business making the next football hire.

Josh @raptureveteran.bsky.social · Sep 7

The boosters can't allow the threat of someone as bad as DJ Lagway transferring scare them into keeping Napier around. The boosters should be loud and very stubborn with what they do with their money until Napier is gone. If this effects recruiting or bottom tier qbs like lagway transfer? So be it.

Josh @raptureveteran.bsky.social · Sep 7

Oh but prior to that it's 4th and 4 from plus territory and Napier decided tp punt like a coward. That punt was a touch back. It took 2 plays for USF to get the ball into the same spot they would have had it if Florida had gone for it but failed. It took 3 plays for them to get into UF territory.

Josh @raptureveteran.bsky.social · Sep 7

At no point did this absolute clown of a coach decide to call a timeout under 2 minutes with USF driving. I guess he thought he'd spend the timeouts when Florida got the ball back? With the defense breaking the entire way down the field?

Josh @raptureveteran.bsky.social · Sep 7

After USF misses a 55 yard field goal, we get a short official timeout, out of that official timeout Napier proceeds to waste a timeout. That leaves Florida with 2. Then Napier calls 3 straight pass plays and we milk off a grand total of 11 or 12 seconds from the clock. Game was lost at this point.

Josh @raptureveteran.bsky.social · Sep 7

Baugh had 50 yards rushing on the first drive and proceeded to be minimized to bench role player and for no good, valid, logical reason. Jackson isn't a bad rb in his own right but he has zero business being used at a 50 percent clip when Baugh is considerably better then he is.

Josh @raptureveteran.bsky.social · Sep 7

11 flags for over 100 yards. Some of them were iffy flags but it doesn't change the fact that this team is as undisciplined now as they were in year 1 and year 2 and year 3.

Josh @raptureveteran.bsky.social · Sep 7

This is a man that in the process of USF rushing to the LOS to beat the clock on 4th down decided to sub a player onto the field on, iirc, would have been a turnover on downs. But nope, illegal substitution on Florida. Wild.
