The defense was remarkably dominant today. The QB position threw 10-17 238 yards and 4 tds. Seriously 40% of his completions were TDs. He's got an amazing target in Watkins. I don't know what will happen to Manual but we need a better backup QB.

Really ... he's looking pretty good out there. Not perfect but the best QB play we've seen in a long time.

Originally posted by IlluminatusUIUC View PostYes, but there are times you have to fold 'em. On one play, they had a 3rd and 2 at the very edge of field goal range. Throw it quick or throw it into the seats but the one thing you can't do is eat a sack. So he promptly does, and it's punt time. We didn't get burned by it today because for every mistake we made, the Jets countered with three, but Orton needs to stop doing that.

My wish list is Pears back at right tackle, Urbik at right guard and find a freaking left one who can at least fall down properly in front of people to slow them down 2 seconds.
Orton is just not mobile, so he can either fall down holding the ball (we see that), do something dumb and we pay for it (we see that), or start up with the EJ/Trent immediate checkdown-and-don't-hurt-me pattern.
I really don't see where he even has enough time to get rid of it on a busted line play, because there are too many busted line plays and he'd be flinging it into the stands fast almost constantly or immediately dumping to the blanketed checkdown.

Re: A FootBall Team With A Quarterback Problem XIII
I think I want to have a conversation about moving Henderson to LT and moving Cordy Glenn inside. I want to see us practicing a bit with Henderson/Glenn/Wood/Urbik/Pears. Then we can maybe test out Henderson/Glenn/Wood/Richardson/Pears. Or Henderson/Kuandijio/Wood/Urbik/Glenn. I don't know, I feel like we really need to look at who we have with talent and find a way to get the 5 best out on the field.
