No argument except last year Edsall said no QBs by design.

Who would you replace Pindell with?

 

[Stainmaster]

Who would you replace Pindell with?

A non-QB.

 

[huskymedic]

Who would you replace Pindell with?

Depends on vote of team mates so maybe Kevin Murphy since the defense representation seems light...

Guess Edsall changed his thoughts from last year on QBs not being on the Leadership Council since they were already in a leadership role.

Interesting mix. 3 more players than last year’s Council.

Love to see Eli Thomas on there and Keyion Dixon as well

Zavier Scott as a RSFR is interesting, too.

Yup. Lots of young leaders which is great

Love seeing Davis and Williams in there. I hope they have big years!

This is an outstanding leadership group. Omar Fortt and Marshe Terry are two of the toughest (and nicest) kids on this team. Tyler Davis and Eddie Hahn are relentless workers and respected role models. For them and the others to be on the leadership council is frosting on their cake. But David Pindell’s inclusion speaks volumes about his growing self-confidence as he masters a new offense more tailored to his strengths.That’s huge.
With this entire group leading the way— I look forward to a new sense of purpose. Players have said there’s a noticeable difference in how players on the O and D have been interacting on campus rather than retreating to their separate disciplines. This team is more united than they can remember—and much more connected to each other. So much so that my hashtag for them is now #huskysurprise2018.

I believe Edsall's comment was that the QB is automatically part of the Council.

Nah... “Edsall said quarterbacks were not included because they already are in a leadership position.” (From link in my post above).

No QB was included in 2017 Leadership Council announcements.

With all the work and effort these players put in I hope they get experience more success this year. Fans like to express their frustration with the downturn since Edsall left and how it has been tough but these players have felt it personally in so many ways. Good luck Guys! Make it Happen!

It’s good to have Davis on there. He can rep three positions by season’s end.

Nah... “Edsall said quarterbacks were not included because they already are in a leadership position.” (From link in my post above).

No QB was included in 2017 Leadership Council announcements.

And I think Edsall wanted to clean up that loose end from last year.

Rather than just saying QB's are automatically leaders and get to meet one on one or small groups already he just rolled then together this year.

So, yes, a minor change in title but not much change in philosophy or actions.

So...do we think this is just a general comment...or has the leadership council taken action and held someone accountable that may result in suspension or something like that? Feels like we are about to hear something else.
