So many better and appropriate choices were available (based on how they've played so far).

these guys see what they do on the field today leading them to better things tomorrow, which is why they want to secure the bag.
This ain't Jawja!these guys see what they do on the field today leading them to better things tomorrow, which is why they want to secure the bag.
I know, and let me emphasize, I think they mean their future NFL career.
Maybe D.J. blocks better? Anyone studied tape that much??
And while Murray leads in catches, he's also had several drops.
It's one position with quality depth, at least.
Did he drop the TD pass in the VT game? I seem to remember a perfect pass from Deondre hitting a receiver right in the hands only to be dropped.
Noonie dropped a deep pass against Samford when he went to the ground.
Quite true, I think we're okay there. Matthews has more moves with the ball, Murray is really good at locating and making the initial catch. Harrison, Wilson, I think we're in good shape with the smaller speed guys. Just gotta get some time and reads.
I read a piece elsewhere that indicated his blocking was exactly the reason. I would think it is temp until he puts emphasis in WR blocking which clearly was an issue in the Samford game. Several plays were blown up due to the fail on WR blocking (think any # of the 3/4 WR bunch plays).
I would expect him to get the message and take back "his roster spot".
Winning solves everything. The turnover chain was pretty stupid too but Miami had a nice start to last season so it was "cool" but really only because they won.
The Road Warriors wore it better.
See, those look bad ass. Not a backpack for pete's sake!
Part of the coaching up process which I suspect Nyqwan needs more often than not. He will probably end up catching several TDs vs Cuse get the start the following game and miss a few catches and blocks again.
That takes me back - those guys rocked.The Road Warriors wore it better.
I also like the name "Legion of Doom" when they moved to the WWF. Thats about when I stopped watching wrestling. Back when it was gritty.
Wait
thinking of making a new shirt.
Have to remember we're on a three year plan for the Natty after the thread gets to 100 pages.
Yep and we will need every one to get the o-line fixed.

Can't wait for the next "All is Well" article...
Pathetic start, but let’s not knee-jerk
There’s no way to sugarcoat it, Monday night was a complete and utter disaster. The lackluster performance against the Hokies is especially disappointing because it comes on the heels of a very positive offseason. Willie Taggart did a bang-up job healing a wounded fan base that was down and out following an awful 2017 season and the awkward departure of Jimbo Fisher.
------
Fans don’t want to hear it, but the reality is that this was just one game. Yup, there are plenty of major issues that need to be cleaned up (see next take), but laying an egg in an opener and bouncing back is hardly unprecedented.
Now it's just 3 games.
------
Also keep in mind that just about everything that could go wrong did. Florida State committed five turnovers, had a punt blocked for a touchdown, missed a 32-yard chip shot field goal, and came up with just three points in four red-zone trips.

It’s also easy to lose sight of the fact that this team is breaking in an entirely new scheme with a new coaching staff.
It's not a "new" offense, it is eerily similar to the Freeze Option that we ran in '83-'85, until it was jettisoned for Danny McManus & Chip Ferguson. But it worked better then.

Unfortunately, I think we do owe Taggart the benefit of the doubt and the chance to get a full season under his belt, but we should be prepared to move on quickly if season two goes like the first one. Do we have the resources to buy out his contract?
Think about how bad Taggart must feel...this guys loves FSU. It's his dream job. He's not a carpet bagger like Meyer or Fisher.

It took 3 years to get to where we are, so why not! Bet they will be looking at JUCO transfers hard.
