Overmatched, But...

We need to recruit solid O linemen like old school Edsall

The O Line has to get better, but they aren't the main cause of concern for us. The QBs have had time. The RBs are putting up numbers.

We need a starting QB pronto...

Anyone supporting Edsall can factually say that the entire team has improved over last year except for the QB position which has fallen off a cliff. If Pindell had another year we'd probably be going bowling this year.

Given that Peart will be our only key loss off this years team (hopefully) maybe Edsall is slowly building us a competitive team. Chef Edsall is using the slow cooker.
 
If Jack gets time he can make throws, but he is not good moving around throwing the ball and he has trouble reading defenses and blitzes. That is to be expected, and if things went well this year he would have redshirted to watch and learn.

Sadly Mike isn't the quarterback we were hoping for and Steve was injured after playing a heck of a game

RE is a stubborn, prideful loser who is convinced he is the only guy in the room with the answer yet consistently comes up with a failing grade. Ergo running out Lashlee, keeping Crocker, appointing an OL coach as OC, not hiring a QB coach, leaving quality players on the pine, recruiting terribly on D, allowing the OL to go backwards, and seemingly incapable of taking advantage of the transfer system like every other quality P6 team that has stacked their programs. Instead, he hunts the tundra, controls everything and produces certified garbage. The guy is past his time, not innovative, inflexible, and uninspiring. Lest we forget, he had all the tools at Maryland and still it up. I don’t know if it is wise to turn him out or give him 1 year. Either way, I think we struggle and it’s another sheet show season ahead of us.
 
There is a lot to be said for waiting until Dec 2nd but on the flip side almost every game is evidence that Edsall and his staff are clueless. 1st and goal near the end of the half and coming up empty I hope was the last straw for Benedict, Katsoleas, and the BOT. UConn was clearly unprepared for what the Navy defense was doing. What worries me more is many of the players saw this as well, and transfers will happen if he is not let go or honorably steps down after Dec 2nd. UConn needs a coach who can make changes in the fly, Edsall is not that coach. Uconn still has a kid who can play QB and not be rattled by blitzing corners every play, but that kid is now playing tight end. Put Rose in at QB until SK is ready. People forget Rose was recruited by several FBS schools to play QB. With the QB situation being fairly desperate now with SK's injury, desperate times call for some desperate measures that possibly might work. Any creative minded coach would have had Rose taking snaps in practice weeks ago.


Lol you do realize Rose was about 10th QB recruit on those teams boards right? That’s why he chose UConn.

again in the minority on the board but I agree on o line, they are more than adequate.

Rose had offers from NC State, BC, and Maryland as a tight end, and one offer as a QB from Syracuse. When he signed with us I recall the coaching staff saying they were not sure if he would be a QB or TE, but it changed to TE fairly quickly. He definitely can throw, he proved that at Southington. As a tight end various recruiting services ranked him #30 to #56 in the country.

I think his best position is tight end, he has a great frame for the position and is athletic. He gets better and better, great to see.

Apparently, some 99% of FBS schools who recruited Jay knew his best opportunity to play, contribute and succeed was as a TE. Somehow, they might have known a wee bit about football. Then, there was the then sorryexcuse staff and disastrous Diaco who threw out the potential to possibly play QB to entice Jay to sign.

Indeed, Jay always was, is and likely always will be a TE. And, he continues to improve at his legit position. Ideally, we all get to see his continued TE growth, contributions and great success the remainder of this season and further down the road.
