I was still a little skeptical of Ta'amu even starting the season but after watching him for 2 games to start the year, he is absolutely the real deal throwing the ball. Between Tua and Ta'amu maybe we need to go get our next QB out of Hawaii.

The dude can flat out spin it. Will be interesting to see how he handles the pressure he will see in the sec. he has had tons of time to throw the football in the first two games. I just think he’s definitely a guy that you can’t let get comfortable.

Hopefully we’ll see pressure gets to him and forces some bad decisions in the bama game otherwise they are going to be tough to stop.

This may be a little simplistic, but when I watch UM, their qb takes the snap, drops three steps looks one direction and puts air under the ball. 45 yards later his WR uses his body to time the ball and every pass looks perfect and are easy catches most times.

The drop give the receiver an extra second to get deep. The qb already knows who is in single coverage. The WR knows when they are in single coverage, the ball is coming get deep. All slow down their steps, draws early contact and accelerates to the ball. All except Metcalf, he pushes off like DeRunnya used to.

That's what I want to see. Flat out fly patterns that expect the ball if they are 1 on 1

That's fine for a deep in or flag. Not for over the top throws. Too easy to knock away. IMHO.

How in the WORLD can you give a status like this and never say ?I told you so? or ? I?m the smartest guy on the board?? Although I find it refreshing many on this board will wonder what the board is coming tp?
