Post-game Press Conference: Bob Diaco & Player Reaction - Tulane

[JMick]

Did you just say Williams mechanics are decent? I think we watched different games the last 3 games.

His throwing mechanics are decent. His reads not so much

Players Reaction Following Loss to Tulane – This is UConn Country

The only question he knew the answer to was that
he had a contract thru 2021 and that this was 2016. Everything else was the same old smokescreen.

I like Williams a lot. I think the coaching has done him a disservice. He's a true freshman who isn't ready to play but there is a lot of upside. The ball comes out of his hand effortlessly. His mechanics are decent. I'd like us to bring in an OC with experience coaching QBs to run a 1-2 checkdown style offense. Read 1, read 2, check/run. The biggest problem I saw with our offense this year is that we didn't have any sort of safety valve for the QBs to throw to. With a back like Newsome he should be chipping and releasing or a TE should be on a delayed route. We didn't see any of that, granted it may have had to do with the line.

I see a loop in his throwing motion. IMO he needs to work on his mechanic. I cannot believe the coaching staff does not at least try to fix it.

He winds up like a pitcher and the result is a delayed delivery. I want DW to succeed so badly but I just don't see any positives right now. He has poor mechanics (not just delivery but footwork), no pocket awareness or understanding of protection (this is fixable with study and reps), and he is locking onto receivers regardless of who is open.

It is not good. My hope is that he takes a giant step forward, as he is a true frosh after all. But I said same thing about Tim Boyle and he showed far more positives than DW after his freshman audition.

DW, not good, unlikely to ever be good.
