ORIGINAL: Jeff Jesser Forget his stat line. I'm with SMF, Weber was brutal again. A typical example is when they blitzed. Bennett picks up the free man, jacks him up, and Weber spazzes his way in to a sack anyway. Any decent college QB (with that amount of games) would destroy a team that got creamed on a blitz like that. Us, negative 8..... The D better get it's shit together also or it's going to be a really long year. I'm talking maybe 3 wins. . As painful as that is to admit. The one nice thing, as mentioned, was the running game but lets be honest. When your FB is your best skill position guy, you have a ton of trouble brewing (pun intended). He's also had a new offensive coordinator every year he's been there And all the snaps with the first team for 4 years, and all the starts for 4 years and all the breaks and opportuntiies ... and he isn't progressing at all. Jeffs post pointed out exactly what I saw.... simple technique and skill at this point in his career should have taken over at several points, where all he had to do was side-step or step up into the pocket, instead, he turtles like a first-year starter and takes the sack. Against a poor pass rush. The good Big Ten teams will eat him alive. He's had plenty of games like last night, where he should have shined. Instead, he disappeared. Their QB started his first game and looked more poised and more effecient. Unacceptable. Exactly. And, believe me, I've wanted to pull/like Weber since he's been here. Sorry if it seems like I'm daisy chaining off of your posts but I thought the same thing. I said multiple times during the game that it was really sad that a guy who shouldn't see the field, for all intensive purposes, outshines your now 4 year guy.
