Edsall: Limited Passing b/c Pindell doesn't have big hands

After today’s showing and being officially eliminated from bowl considerations give the other QBs a go.

"It's hard to throw (in the rain). David doesn't have big hands and he doesn't grip the ball with the laces. So that was one of the things he was having trouble with, gripping the ball. You do what you have to do. No excuses, we just didn't take advantage of opportunities in order to win the ball game."<<

Such BS and the conservative play calling sucked. I am so pissed that Edsall played not to lose and lost anyway.

So mad froze my butt off but left early for the first time ever and now I don't know if I will go in two weeks
 
honest to god I think the Cory Edsall crap took a lot of Randy's motivation away. like " not this crap again". given all the BS he went through with Hathaway. He really needs to make a decision if he really wants to be here. He sure didn't give off that vibe today.

Does Randy have a list of these prepackaged, canned excuses made before each game? Pindell can't throw in the rain because he has small hands? Why is he a starting FBS QB if that's the case? Find somebody who can throw the damn ball! They can start with Edsall's, if anybody can find them.

He said Pindell couldn’t grip the ball. Assume that he actually discussed that with Pindell. So what is he supposed to do?

Was just about to post the same thing! He offers up a slew of excuses but then says 'no excuses'. So stupid. Small hands might very well be the worst excuse of all coach excuses ever muttered.

More from Putterman:

>>The Huskies attempted only six passes on the day, choosing to run the ball across the soggy field. Edsall said Pindell has small hands and therefore can’t throw effectively in the rain, but Pindell didn’t see that as an issue.

“I wouldn’t say I have a problem gripping the ball in any type of weather,” Pindell said. “The balls are just like — when they’re muddy and they’re rainy you just can’t get the grip that you want on there. But I’ve never had a problem throwing in the rain or anything. If they ask me to throw, I’ll throw.”<<

Omg. I said this after BC last year regarding Pindell not using the laces being a big issue. @whaler11 can attest. If RE was actually reading my posts this garbage wouldn’t have happened

I thought we had a big coming to Jesus and he changed this season.

You could fire both Edsalls tomorrow and it won’t change the direction of the program.

Oh . Edsall citing Pindell's hands as being the reason for today's horrendous play-calling is on Bob Diaco level. Seems like his terrible gameday coaching job has extending into his post-game presser. That's next level stupid.

Edsall is full of excuses and UConn is now unfortunately stuck with another loser. Lucky for us that we didn’t sign another supposed up and comer.

I really hate not throwing until you need to throw. It always results in a shaky QB.

I agree pindell is not that bad but he can’t throw. Let backups play and switch things up nothing to lose now

We started this season with lots of media discussion about our impressive group of WR's. But fact is, they're are just not getting the ball very much. One thing they are doing however, is an absurd amount of blocking.

There has been a lot of discussion about lack of speed on this team, but how can anyone accurately make this determination, if our WR's aren't frequent targets and they're just not getting the ball?

DP just broke the record for the most rushing yards in UConn history for any QB. He's also put a bunch of points on the board. He is quite impressive and no doubt, he IS an outstanding athlete! But as our starting QB, it would be real nice to see him throw more.
 
If Pindell was unable to throw down field today but Temple was, we needed to put someone in who could throw in the rain, at least occasionally. We knew all week there would be rain, and aside from the fact we bailed on our kicker, there needed to be some balance on offense and use of one of our most talented position groups. You could see this loss coming by mid 3rd quarter when Temple decided to throw and we turtled. Having Pindell throw only in the most obvious situation only proved we should have thrown earlier.

These decisions were made before gametime and the stubbornness of RE to not even prepare a plan B lost us this game.
