Ben DiNucci --- Downfield Throws

[RHS14]

Ben DiNucci got everyone fired-up after Quadree Henderson broke off that bubble screen for 75 yards --- but then the Downfield Throws starting coming.

It seemed like every pass DiNucci threw past 10 yards was about to be picked-off. D-Backs were like predators breaking like Hawks-on-Mice on all his passes.

DiNucci rears all his body-weight onto his back foot, then flips out the ball leaning back on all his throws. It works great on the screens and touch throws, but is an Achilles Heel for making downfield throws at the ACC level.

You can't really "Coach Out" that habit -- QB's who do that are always going to revert to it.

I guess DiNucci is the New No. 1 and preps there all week? Hopefully T-MacVittie aka Sumurai Mac (dunno lol but he seems like he needs a nick-name) is prepping full time as the No. 2 now and gets some reps with the first team.

Kenny Football coming soon

He should not be attempting any more downfield throws at this point. This team cannot afford turnovers with a defense this bad.

Hey, Kenny Pickett is a really good sized kid (6'2'' , 215) and standing next to the other guys he already looks well built and plenty tall....

But that is INTENSE to start a True Freshman. It's a huge-call for a Head Coach, one that is really putting your neck way out there.

That call would take a ton of courage to make.

I dont know. Other teams start true frosh. Seriously could it be much worse. I guess you have to go with Dinucci for a few games but IMO once the season is totally lost you start playing for next year. Sit anyone whose upside is limited and play the kids with higher upsides like Picket or McVitte.

Don't think there's any chance Pickett doesn't RS. Personally, I very much consider starting him v. Rice if DiNucci is bad v. GT.

At this point we need to just steal GT's offense. This is rediculous. Our QB roster looks like a Pat Bostick clone, a Bill Stull clone and a Tino Sunseri clone. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

Who's Stull?
Bostic - Browne
Sunseri - Dinucci

Is Stull DiNucci too?

I will so take Bill Stull right now with no hesitation.

Bostick - Browne
Sunseri - DiNucci , okay gotcha

Stull = MacVittie?? Pickett?? START THEM NOW!

If Mr. Pickett sees the field and throws an INT, the trolling will begin with an unfortunate last name ala Blewitt.
