Tommy Touchdown

[LeeDawg]

Jim Nagy- "Biggest surprise of Manning Passing Academy was Miss State QB Tommy Stevens" How hyped should we be?

Tommy Touchdown for Heisman!!!!!****

 

[RPOdawg]

But Thompson deserves to start he’s earned it by being in the program longer!!****

 

[BlueRidgeMtns]

biggest surprise in what way?

i'm holding off on hype until the dude at least participates in a few august practices.

It's always great to receive praise, but I've learned not to take anything from Passing Academy hype. Guys like John O'Korn, Collier Winters, etc., got glowing reports/won the camp MVP. Doesn't mean much.

Bo Bounds is concerned

with his ability to throw a 6 yard slant.

 

[Tin Cup Cowboy]

This, not a lot of 280 lbs guys out there running a 4.6 trying to decapitate him at the Manning Academy.

Let's give it time and see what happens.

with his ability to throw a 6 yard slant.

But is he OK with the 8 yard out route??***

That's terrible Dan Mullen Ideology.. That's why we were so frustrated when Brandon Holloway started over Aries Williams based only on seniority. Talent should be the decider.

 

[Phil Wenneck.sixpack]

Ummm you do realize he's played at Penn State for 3 years right? It's not like he's never seen big fast players chasing him.

It's July bro. If you can't have hope then when can you?

 

[KeyserSoze1999]

Only if it's on 3rd and 10.****

 

[The Peeper]

I had a lot of hope last July and it all graduated

 

[TheStateUofMS]

LET'S 17'N GOOOOOOO!!!! 17!!!!***

 

[Shmuley]

Funny. And sad.

 

[BlueRidgeMtns]

Oh I have hope... I'm holding off on the hype. That vowel changes the meaning of the word.

Because we all know Bo is the ultimate analyst...

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

Of football? No. Of designer redneck jeans and having an inflated ego? Yes.

 

[TaleofTwoDogs]

The quote is definitely better than if the guy said "Stevens was a disappointment, poor spin on the ball". Having a nice tight spiral is definitely a plus but in the world of Power 5 football it will take a lot more than that to be successful against SEC defenses. I am excited about Stevens possibilities but need to wait until he sets foot on the Scott Field before anointing him as savior.

 

[Nunya.sixpack]

he had nice spin, but how was his pad level?

 

[Tin Cup Cowboy]

Ummm you do realize that he was at a passing academy which doesn't even invite defensive positions to participate?



Areas of Instruction
The MPA boasts a camper to coach ratio of better than 10:1


All offensive skill positions are encouraged to attend: QB, WR, RB, TE


Quarterbacks - Stance, Exchange, Drops, Set-up, Sprint Out, Play Action, Screens, Ball Handling, Option, Reading Defenses, and Field Leadership.
Wide Receivers - Stance, Start, Release, Route Running, Cuts, Receiving, Blocking, and Reading Defenses.
Running Backs - Stance, Start, Ball Handling, Ball Security, Pass Protection, Run Blocking, Route Running, Play Action, Screens and Reading Defenses.
Tight Ends - Stance, Start, Release, Run Blocking, Pass Protection, Route Running, Receiving, Ball Security, Reading Defenses.
The Spread Offense - In addition to the traditional Pro-Style offense we will introduce elements of the Spread Offense that is the latest trend in college football. The Spread maximizes speed in space and makes the defense defend the entire field. The defense must also declare their intentions and that allows the offense to take what the D gives you. The other great aspect of the Spread Offense is that it provides you the opportunity to potentially utilize all of your playmakers on every play. And as always, it’s all about tempo.

You're right. Low man always wins.

It's always great to receive praise, but I've learned not to take anything from Passing Academy hype.

Basically much like the NFL combine for QB's. Waste of time*****

I wonder if he's part of the reason our preseason O/U win line is 8.5....I still haven't figured that one out yet.

 

[Bulldogg31]

Careful leaving this bowl of Cheerios out here, lots of folks ready and willing to take a piss in it.

I think most sites have us at 8
