Someone, who rarely posts, fires off the entitlement email because Scott, Woody and Keith are frustrated with Gators performance. BTW, the aforementioned poster, has not posted since posting his entitlement post except for one quick retort to Woody, that sent Woody on a walk about. Then Scott, Woody, and Keith, assume that entitlement poster speaks for all of us on Gator Talk and take exception and viola' here we are. My personal opinion is we all could use a little better understanding of the fact that no one person on this list speaks for all, no matter which opinion they may hold. Terms like I think or my opinion is are much easier to relate to than generalization as Gator Nation, everybody, or anybody. No one wants words put in their mouths or, heaven forbid, have their Gator loyalty questioned. I am not the biggest fan of the wording of some of the posts posted on GatorTalk, but I will defend anyone's right to post whatever they feel, within GatorTalk 's stated guidelines. Anytime you get a group of people together to discuss anything you will have different opinions, very few opinions will be changed on the spot, however you may be able to start the process of change by giving someone something else to consider.

I was referring to games 1 to 3 of this year? They had stud, veteran players, and nine months of practice and working out together. You think they looked like a great coached team? I don't.

And most of our wins have been by double digits. And we play in the strongest conference in college football. So I guess I would have three questions: How many other Div 1 coaching staffs can say all of that? (One I know of and we will see them in action this week. ) How many times can we say that about Florida football in our history? (I don't think it has ever happened.)

Steve: I must be talking another language. Did you read my post? I was talking about the first game especially - and carrying over to games 2 and 3. They looked like I was coaching them. I've already said by the Kentucky game they looked much improved. That is how I had expected them to look in the first game. I agree that these coaches (or rather the coaches we've had in the past under Urban Meyer) have achieved great results. That is why the first couple of games were so unbelievable. My problem was the point where we started from this year. If we played in the first game as well as we did in the Kentucky game - where would we be 4 games later? We only get 12 games in the regular season. Every game counts - a lot. When they start the season horribly - as they did - I don't think they progress as much - over the year - as if they are blowing people out and playing a lot of the backups. Then Alag8r starts trying to twist my comments into saying these coaches suck, always have sucked, will always suck in the future. That is completely out of context. Screw it.

I counted one bad snap - and I have seen other teams with more than that recently. I saw some running plays between the tackles with huge holes for the backs to run through - did the defenders all just fall down? I saw WRs running open and making some great downfield blocks. Did I see all of this happen on every play? Of course not. Guess what? There's not a team in the country - and I'm talking about ones that play on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays - that did everything thing right every play. If we were still playing the way we played against Miami of Ohio, or even the first half against USF I could understand, and would share, your concern about the coaching staff. But, from my point of view, I see a team that is getting better every game. We may not win every game this year. We never have, and that covers a lot of years and a lot of different coaching staffs. But we are one of the premier programs in college football, and for most of my life that statement would have been laughable. A few years ago, USC seemed untouchable - where are they now? If there's a program that has recruited as well as us the last few years, and the one that makes more money than football than us, it's Texas. They just lost at home to an unranked UCLA team that was recently shut out themselves at their home. So forgive me for not buying into the doomsday scenario. Feel free to be concerned all you want.

How are other teams - like Cam Newton at Auburn, Ingrahm and Richardson at Alabama, Lattimore at South Carolina - able to do it? Oliver - I am not going off on you - but on this topic - all of these excuses - for why players are not ready to play after several years in the system. Debose sat out all last year - and this year he doesn't know the plays? What the heck was he doing last year while sitting around rehabing? Why didn't they have some graduate assistant sitting there next to the hot tub quizzing him on the plays? There are serious problems in developing these studs - and all I've heard are excuses. I am not calling for firing the coaches - obviously they do some good things. But to not have these guys ready to play is inexcusable and speaks of a major problem. I don't know what the fix is - but then again I am not being paid $3 million (or whatever) to fix it. We just wasted four games teaching guys how to block, run routes, and snap the ball. Maybe we should go back to a JV team? That is what schools use to do to develop players so that once they hit the big time - they were ready. This is what I hope Foley is asking Urban Meyer.

WOW. You know what I learned from all of this? I needed to go kick my daughters in the butt. They're claiming they're only 10 and 12 years old. They don't have jobs, blah, blah, blah, blah. I told them to quit acting like girls. They're like - but we are girls I looked them in the eye and told them - that's no excuse.

My daughter purchased tickets to the game as a Father's Day gift some time back. Little did I know the tickets were in Champions Club seating. I was blown away by the accommodations, the food, the air conditioning, the escalator, the view. I could go on and on, but more on that later. J Anyway, Steve sent me the GPS coordinates for the tailgate before I left Chattanooga. I punched them in and saw that they indeed took me to Gainesville. I didn't zoom in, which was a mistake. We got to Gainesville around 2:30 and made a couple of stops to pick up Gator paraphernalia (jerseys, etc) since the game would be over so late and our hotel room was in Lake City. Around 3:00, we started looking for the tailgate. The GPS took me down 13th street. Wayy down 13th. It almost appeared to be taking me down to Paynes Prairie area, so I called Steve. Voicemail. He called me. Gave me rough verbal directions. Did I mention I am TERRIBLE with verbal directions? L Got back to campus and traffic was horrendous! Headed toward Lake Alice and ran into a detour. Followed detour signs, got turned around, lost, GPS dying, verbal directions gone, and starting to get worried we wouldn't find a place to park. Suddenly, I saw a landmark I recognized! We were back at University Ave and 13th St! How did we do THAT? Sigh. Bladder about to bust. Stopped at gas station. Leon called. Where are you? I tried to recount my last hour of traffic-hell and gave up. It was now getting close to 4:00. We needed to find a parking spot soon before they filled up. Found a lot at 10th St and 4th Ave with room left. Long hike, but I didn't care. I was bummed out by missing the tailgate. We started walking toward University Ave, and I started feeling better just being out of the car and the traffic. THIS was familiar! THIS was great! THIS is the way it SHOULD be! Anyway, as we made our way down University Ave to BHGSAFF, I felt like I had died and gone to heaven. I realized later that that was just the foyer. The REAL heaven was up in the Champions Club! We rode up three different escalators to get to the Champions Club and the last 20-30 feet, we were greeted with a blast of air conditioning. I was amazed! Air conditioning? At a gator game? We arrived in the lobby of the Champions Club and it looked like a small airport. There was carpeting, couches, wall monitors everywhere with the Bama-Arkansas game playing, and a buffet at each end of the club area that was to die for! We loaded up on carbs for the game, and then stepped through the glass doors to our seats. AMAZING view of the field! I was almost moved to tears. I don't know how many times I thanked my daughter, but it wasn't enough. Anyway, one of the things that I found interesting is that there were only about 500 people in that section, and we shared four (2 men and 2 women) HUGE restrooms in the air conditioning. No lines. Again, heaven. J The game was, as you know, the best of the season so far. Gators dominated and made the trip even better than I could ever imagined. After the game, we began our walk back to car, stopped to enjoy the post-game band celebration with a crowd of 500-600 people, then followed the band as we made our way back to 4th Ave. It was an absolutely amazing weekend with an amazing daughter! It was truly a once in a lifetime experience because as cheap as I am, I would NEVER pay for Champions Club seating. My apologies to Steve and the rest of the group of tailgaters for my being a no-show. I REALLY missed seeing all of you. L I uploaded a couple of real short videos to www.qik.com/randylyons. Due to using the GPS so much before the game, my battery was going dead in my phone, or I would've taken more videos. One more time. Thank you, Heather!

With Tebow being replaced by Brantley as starting QB and, with Azzanni replacing Gonzalez as WR coach, that a lot of things, such as route trees, etc. may have changed? He has nine months to study the changes to the offense since Tebow and Gonzalez left. I doubt the routes have changed completely. Don't you think anyone that wants to learn the plays and routes - anyone whose job it is to learn the plays and routes - would pick it up in nine months? How did Thompson, Moore, Hines, and all the other WRs do it? How did Burton do it? And don't you think that he'd need to prove that he's ready in practice before he's given a chance to possibly hurt the team by messing up badly in a game? I definitely think that. I'm not saying put him in the game before he is ready. My question is - why isn't he ready? Why are so many of these guys on offense - not ready? I don't think that Debose is the answer to our problems. Maybe one day he will be. From what little bit I have read - I think he has mental problems getting back into the game after being injured. I also think he has reservations about getting hit. From what I have seen - I would have Hines start at slot, Hammond and Moore start out wide. Moore has very few yards after the catch - but grabs most everything thrown near him. I love watching Hines run with the ball. I think Hammond is a playmaker and our third best receiver. The problem is - we wasted three games - getting these guys ready to play this fall. We could have better used those games for trying new things, working out kinks, etc. Seems like our offense was not ready to play till the Kentucky game.

Debose was the target for several passes on our first couple of drives. Did you notice that they were very simple patterns where the ball was delivered very quickly to him? I believe that was a reward for him having, according to Meyer, his best week of practice ever. I don't think they could continue throwing the ball to him in the same way all night long because the element of surprise was gone, and UK was probably defending him in a way that would neccessitate him reading the defenses and making the proper route tree adjustments - something he's said to not have a firm grasp on yet, therefore he seemed to disappear again. --- Keith Baldwin wrote: With all that sitting around - Debose can't study the playbook, watch a ton of film, practices - and learn the plays?

The more we all just sit around and agree it's great to be a Florida Gator - we fail to learn anything.

How do we explain so much Debose and then his disappearance? How do we explain the jekyll and hyde look after the first two scores where it became Demps's show again. I am just wondering if the first 2 drives were scripted and coordinated by the whole staff, but once the script was run, Adazzio had to make his choices and calls and it became ordinary and predictable again -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us
[gatortalk] Offense needs to make their move - this year
If you look at the talent on offense we lose at the end of this year We lose four starting OL men - Pouncey, Carl Johnson, Hurt and Gilbert We lose Moody at RB (no big deal?) We lose Carl Moore and Justin Williams at WR. Will Brantley, Rainey, Demps, or Deonte Thompson go pro early? The way things are going now - I don't see any juniors on the offense going pro early. You would think that Brantley's second year - will be better than this year. But he loses all those OLmen. So I doubt his stats will be much better. I don't even think the snaps will be better - Urban already alluded our snappers looking like the bad news bears. RB - I don't see any change - except Gillislee might get more touches - which will be an improvement. Will Mack Brown be ready to play next year? I think Gillislee and Mack Brown are an improvement over Moody and Gillislee OL - huge to downside WRs - about the same. This year we have one returner (Thompson), and two pseudo new starter (Carl Moore who was hurt and might have started last year if not hurt) and Rainey instead of Brandon James. I expect about the same turnover next year - so probably a push again. Perhaps some of these new studs like Debose and Dunkley will be ready to play next year. The real difference next year - is the loss of the OL men. -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us

Granted, Tennessee fell apart in the second half last week after Oregon went up-tempo on the depth-shy Vols. But I don't think Florida's offense is good enough to do that, at least not yet. I see John Brantley and the offense struggling again, especially early in the game in the loud, hostile environment the Gators will be facing. I know the Gators think they can pound the ball at the Vols with their downhill running game, but UF is going to have to generate a consistent passing game or the Vols are going to gang up on the run - and the UT defense is capable of stopping the run. Another concern is Florida's run defense. It was very suspect last week and the Vols have a running back who can cause a lot of damage. Tailback Tauren Poole is averaging 136 yards rushing a game and he's a very hard runner who breaks a lot of tackles. Florida played much better in the second half a week ago against South Florida, and Brantley and the offense seem to be gaining some confidence. Some early success in Saturday's game would be huge for Brantley. The problem is the offense has gotten off to horrific starts in the first two games, and I'm not sure that will change in this one. I see a lot of negative plays happening for the UF offense in the first quarter. The Gators are going to face a lot of adversity early. How they handle it will go a long way toward determining the outcome of this game. I see this one playing out a lot like the 2006 game, where the Gators had to rally in the second half to pull out a 21-20 victory.

RE: [gatortalk] Some Observations
When Miami and FSU run their mouths so much before even playing a game - it's good to see them lose. Note to FSU and Miami: Win a bunch of games FIRST and then run your mouth about how great your team and QB are. Offense as a whole really seemed to gain some confidence. The way they were talking all off season - I didn't think they lacked self confidence. I wonder if our defense isn't really, really good and just beat the crap out of the offense this past off season and the offense didn't have much confidence? Demps actually broke some tackles !!! Although I still think Gillislee is better and should start Moody finally starting making a few plays. Receivers made some catches and plays. Offense threw some passes down field - which helped to open up the running game and short game Burton did nothing (still don't understand why he is a standout instead of Debose, Dunkley, etc) Defense is really good and really deep. We had a bunch of defensive guys out - a bunch of freshmen playing - and they still played great.

All of them seemed to come up right to chest level so Brantley could just look down the field. It looked miserable hot out there. I'm surprised more players didn't go out with cramps or dehydration. Carl Moore made some really tough catches. Hopefully, he keeps that up the rest of the year. Still saw a lot of Halapio. I would have expected to see Wilson, but I heard he was injured. After that, I would have expected to see Hurt, but I think he was playing another position. It would be nice to see how the line is with everybody back healthy. I can see where this offense is still learning about themselves. Sometimes Brantley isn't sure about what to do. That's ok. Sorry about the tired phrase, but he and the offense will get better and better with more experience. On other teams: Is it wrong for me to enjoy the FSU beatdown as much as I enjoyed the Gator win? Boy did they look bad. They had a good first drive (which I'm sure they worked on all offseason), and then disappeared. Their defense may be as bad as last year. The special teams seem OK, though. They have a good kicker, decent punter, dangerous punt returner in Reid, but terrible kick returning with Joyner - he couldn't even get back to the 20 usually. I don't know why not; he certainly had enough practice. I guess Ohio State can only beat teams from the south if it's Miami. I occasionally flipped over to this game, and it seemed like if OSU was more efficient on offense, they would have blown out the U as badly as FSU was blown out. Who would have thought SOS would ever give a running back 37 carries in one game? -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us

After a nightmare game against Miami (OH) last weekend that left him feeling truly embarrassed and the subject of national ridicule, he needs to play well against USF when the Golden Bulls come to town (12:21 p.m.; Ben Hill Griffin Stadium; SEC Network). He needs to redeem himself. Then and only then will he get a good night's rest. Several bad snaps by Pouncey set the tone for an effort so uninspiring that the Florida Gators fell from third in the coaches poll to sixth in the most recent rankings. Although the Gators finished off Miami to the tune of 34-12, their miserable offensive output (212 total yards), the lingering memory of Florida's opening game win of the 2010 season is a mistake-filled effort for which http://247sports.com/Recruit/Mike-Pouncey-4863 Mike Pouncey has asked to shoulder all the blame.

On Tue, Sep 7, 2010 at 10:38 AM, Jerry Belloit bell...@clarion.edu wrote: As I have thought about the game some more, the following have come to mind: 1. The last minute suspensions and injuries on the offensive line may have had an even worse impact that first believed-especially from the tackle and tight end blocking perspective. The offensive line that played was simply not ready to play as a team. I believe that one of the problems with the running game was that the offensive line was not doing their job very well. I think it is true that Rainey and Demps seemed to be easily stopped on several plays. Part of that problem might have been that they were often hit in the backfield before they were really moving forward very well. Another problem that seemed to be originating with the offensive line is that Brantley had little time to throw before someone was on him from the end rush. This lead to him throwing the short passes rather than intermediate or long passes. I think that still another problem with Pouncey was that he was not comfortable with the patchwork offensive line so he had to think about what he might have to do to compensate-thus losing his concentration on the snap. Likewise, I think the porous offensive line caused Brantley to worry about the pass rush causing him to lose his concentration. 2. Although it is not without some risk, Brantley needs to pull the ball sometimes from the running backs and run himself. Often he would fake keeping it and run in the opposite direction of the play. Almost always, he was completely unchecked. This left their defense free to shoot linebackers to the play. 3. I was really disappointed with our kickoff game. We have to get the ball kicked higher and deeper. Our kicker is supposed to have a cannon for a leg but you could not tell it Saturday. The ball needs to at least go to the goal line, if not a few yards in the end zone. 4. I am sure that there were several persons that stayed home because of the heat. I was really excited to be there but the heat was oppressive. There were several in my area that left after or during the first half of the game and did not return. I of course stayed to the bitter end. I think that the AA should provide free ice during games like these and I think that the water fountains should provide chilled water. I also think that the AA should provide misting fans so that people could go cool off. I am expecting that we will improve dramatically next week. The good news is that we have a relatively light schedule leading into the Alabama game. There is time to correct most of the problems. -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- Helen Huntley (727) 823-3801 www.helenhuntley.com -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- Helen Huntley (727) 823-3801 www.helenhuntley.com -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON

However, I do think the jury is still out regarding his play-calling and his ability to utilize the talent available to him. Isn't this something we discussed all last season? Was (our perceived) underperformance on offense due to bad play-calling or a loss of talent from the year before? I didn't know the answer then, and still don't. We'll see as the season progresses. I do know that college-level players should know how to snap the ball and protect it. I don't blame Addazio for that. Addazio is obviously a crucial part of our coaching staff.

RE: [gatortalk] Rumors, stubbornness and Playmakers
I think instead of doing wholesale changes based on one game's results - we really need to assume that the coaches who have won 2 NC's in the past 4 years know what they are doing with the talent that they have. I agree with that point. But we have seen Moody and Demps for several years now. We were told that their problems have been fixed and this year would be different. Last game - looked like same old problems - while Gillislee and Hines made plays. Meyer kept saying that he couldn't find playmakers.

The right conclusion is that Demps and Moody need to be demoted to second string and Gillislee promoted to first string. -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny

RE: [gatortalk] Observations
All we heard in the off season is how the offensive line is our strength. How Addazzio is moving them around in case someone gets hurt. These guys are saying moving to other positions is no big deal - because they all know (and have trained at) each position. They have at least eight guys ready to go. Nixon's and Patchan's injuries are not serious and only out a couple of days. I think it was Carl Johnson commented opponents better just come and take their whippin, What I am pissed about is - being told one thing - not being able to see for myself (or have trained reporters report on it) - and then seeing something else that is drastically different. What we saw yesterday is NOTHING like what they were telling us to expect. We were sold an NFL caliber OL. What we saw - was not as good as most high schools. Let's contrast that with the DL. We were told all summer that our DL (especially Des) would be bad, we wouldn't be able to pressure the QB, etc. I saw the opposite.

RE: [gatortalk] Some Observations
I can't explain why the snaps from center were so bad Mr Pouncey can forget about copying his brother (moving from guard to center) to go in the first round of the draft. Move Pouncey back to guard and put Robey in at center. Maybe some of the starters got injured, and that's why there was no push from the OL Our OL is suppose to be the strength of our team. Our third string should have been able to push Miami of Ohio around. IN a game like today - we should have seen some HUGE holes opened up. I didn't see that. There is no excuse for their performance today. Rainey is no Harvin Agreed. I thought that getting Rainey and Demps out in space would be an excellent thing. They proved me wrong today. They did not break a single tackle. Think that is the difference between Harvin and Rainey/Demps - Harvin could break some tackles. Drayton = fumbles Don't know that I can blame Drayton. Gillislee had a fumble where the guy did an excellent job of stripping the ball. I am shocked but glad that they put Gillislee right back in. I guess Moody dropped a pitch. I think the screwed up exchange between Brantley and Moody - don't know if you can blame Drayton. Most of the fumbles were bad snaps. We shall see as the season goes on. But you are correct - we did hire Drayton's replacement because he was some specialist about holding on to the ball. Deonte Thompson looked like he dropped that TD pass early I was thinking - here we go again ... same way he started last year ... I like what Omarius Hines brings to the table Agreed. I would ask Hines which WR position he wants to play - and put him there. The other WRs can fight for a position. Hines is the only WR that wants to play. I would start Gillislee over Demps and Moody. Moody did nothing. He's suppose to be healthy, this is his money year - and he played like that? Demps kept getting arm tackled. The one long run Demps had - I don't think anyone touched him. Demps is great running track. Not so great when they can hit him. Gillislee ran like a RB possessed. That is what I expect out of Demps and Moody - but didn't see it. I would give Rainey a pass today and not be too critical. Perhaps Hines would be better for the slot? But then we obviously don't have a $#%$ TE !!! Once the defense settled down - they played great. I guess they had one series in the second half where they lost focus. If it were not for a great defense - we might have lost to Miami of Ohio ! I thought considering the snaps being dribbled back to him - Brantley did very well. I think at the half he was 9 of 11 and of the two incompletions - one was the drop by Thompson and the other was a drop by Moore? Hits them in the hands and they drop it. Burton looked good - but I would have rather seen him focusing on - and taking snaps at QB (real stuff - not just goal line) for when Brantley gets hurt. I can see now why they closed practice. 26 yards in 3 quarters? That is shameful. What happened to our kicking? We are suppose to have incredible punter and place kicker. IN fact, all the special teams - did not look special. The only bright spot was our defense - but again - it was Miami of Ohio - which was the about the worst offense in division one last year. -Original Message- From: gatortalk@googlegroups.com [mailto:gatort...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Jong Limb Sent: Saturday, September 04, 2010 5:30 PM To: GatorTalk Subject: [gatortalk] Some Observations Definitely not the best game I've ever seen the Gators play. I can't explain why the snaps from center were so bad, but as far as the OL performance overall, I saw a lot of names I didn't expect to see. For example, I saw a lot of Halapio. I also saw Harrison and Silberman. Maybe some of the starters got injured, and that's why there was no push from the OL. I know Wilson was injured, but they didn't mention the extent. I don't care what the coaches say, Rainey is no Harvin. That's not a knock on Rainey; Harvin is simply the best football player I've ever seen. Rainey got a number of touches, but didn't make a significant play that I can remember. Drayton = fumbles, in my book. As soon as he left, the fumbles went away. As soon as he returns, the fumbles come back. He may be a good recruiter, but he leaves a lot to be desired as a running backs coach. I saw Carl Moore take a big hit to his back. Hopefully, he didn't get injured again. Deonte Thompson looked like he dropped that TD pass early, but it was clearly interference that wasn't called. From what I saw, he caught everything else today. I like what Omarius Hines brings to the table. He made several good plays. All that being said, I'm sure this team will get better. Everyone wrote off Oregon last year after their first game, but they got better over the course of the season. I think this team will as well. -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National

The first three are good - don't agree with 4-7 making much of an impact this season. Reed might do some things once he recovers from injury Christian is a pass catching fullback that could even run with the ball in short yardage situations. We have not seen that in a long time - was John L Williams the last one? I would think that Deonte Thompson, Carl Moore, Demps, Moody, and Gillislee will be more potent on offense than Burton, Clark, and Christian You might could make the argument for Mr DUI has better offensive stats than Burton, Clark, and Christian Still pissed that Burton is trying to learn other positions than the QB position. What are we planning to do if/when Brantley gets hurt? Let Burton try a couple of plays, Reed try a couple of plays, the even rawer new guy run a couple of plays?

We were all younger then, walking around on healthier knees and seeing with better eyes (or is that just me?). Back then, there was nothing called the Gator Nation. There were just Gator fans with a chicken-footed mascot, orange replica jerseys and artificial turf in the stadium. Tennessee wasn't a rival then. Georgia was an annual loss. Twice in the previous decade there were interim coaches because the NCAA went all MMA on the program. But then Steve Spurrier walked through the door and everything changed. Since then, 20 years have passed. The Gator Nation is everywhere. The jerseys are blue as long as Nike says they can be. The grass will be its greenest of the year on Saturday. And Florida is one of the elite programs in college football. It wasn't then, not prior to 1990. Before the 1990 season, Florida football was a bit of a joke. Great players to be sure. Great personalities. Folk heroes galore. But great teams that always fell short. On the rare occasions they didn't, it was because they cheated. Florida had traditions, but one of them was to always be waiting until next year. There were bowl victories but more postseason losses than wins. The greatest players tasted way too many defeats. Emmitt Smith went on to become the NFL's all-time leading rusher and a Hall of Famer. His Gator teams went a pedestrian 20-16. UF's other Hall of Famer, Jack Youngblood, was a senior in 1970 when Florida lost 63-14 to Auburn. It was Homecoming. I'm not making this up. John Reaves-to-Carlos Alvarez formed one of the greatest passing combinations in Florida history. In their senior season, UF went 4-7. Wilber Marshall's teams never won an SEC title. Neither did Steve Spurrier's when he was the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback at Florida. In Cris Collinsworth's junior season, his Gators went 0-10-1. Prior to 1990, Florida had 22 losing seasons. It had no 10-win seasons. Everyone talked about the program being a sleeping giant, but it had taken a triple dose of Ambien with a Lunesta chaser. There seemed to be no waking it. The last two decades have been different. Florida has become one of college football's talking points with no signs of slipping back. Spurrier started the ascent when he returned to Gainesville. Urban Meyer has kept it going. No team in college football has won more games the last two decades than Florida. A program that could not get to 10 wins in a season has averaged 10 wins a season over the past two decades. Gator teams have won almost 80 percent of their games, 83 percent if you don't count the Ron Zook years. Since the start of the 1990 season, the success has been ridiculous. For those who didn't start following Florida football until Spurrier was the coach, being in the top five in the preseason polls feels like a birthright. But to truly appreciate what Florida has become, you have to have lived through Lindsay Scott and Fourth-and-Dumb and 51-0 in the rain. All of those disasters were against Georgia. You know, the team you now own. To really get it, you have to remember the three different quarterbacks who threw the ball out of bounds to stop the clock ... on fourth down. You have to have a working knowledge of the fumbles at North Carolina in '68, Andy Summers' fumble at the goal line against LSU in '72 and Neal Anderson's alleged

There were just Gator fans with a chicken-footed mascot, orange replica jerseys and artificial turf in the stadium. Tennessee wasn't a rival then. Georgia was an annual loss. Twice in the previous decade there were interim coaches because the NCAA went all MMA on the program. But then Steve Spurrier walked through the door and everything changed. Since then, 20 years have passed. The Gator Nation is everywhere. The jerseys are blue as long as Nike says they can be. The grass will be its greenest of the year on Saturday.

Hampered by injuries throughout his career, Moody said he is healthy and ``pain free'' for the season opener against Miami of Ohio on Saturday. ``It's my fifth year and my mind-set has changed a lot ever since I was a sophomore and junior,'' said Moody, who admitted he let a poor attitude affect his personality early in his career. I read those two lines - and I'm thinking - great - Moody realizes this is his money year - do or die year - and the light has come on. ``I'm to the point where I'm just going to handle what I can handle and not think about [if] I'm going to be a 1,000-yard rusher.'' , if Moody's ankles can't remain healthy for an entire season Then you read this and think - same old Moody Moody has a lot of talent. Hope he shows it off this year. From: gatorn...@googlegroups.com [mailto:gatorn...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Juno Gator Sent: Wednesday, September 01, 2010 8:10 AM To: gatorn...@googlegroups.com Subject: [gatornews] Gatornews from the Palm Beach Post and Miami Herald courtesy of Junogator Florida's Emmanuel Moody looks to be big-time contributor BY JOSEPH GOODMAN Florida running back Emmanuel Moody high steps into the end zone for a touchdown against South Carolina during an NCAA college football game on Saturday, Nov. 14, 2009 at at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, S.C. It wasn't until Emmanuel Moody's second season of youth football before he had a chance to play running back. That first season in Coppell, Texas, Moody said he was discriminated against because of his appearance. ``They actually wouldn't let me play running back that first year because most people saw me as Asian, unless I told them I was half black,'' said Moody, whose middle name is Pan-Sok (Korean for ``Peter''). ``I didn't really get a chance the first year, and finally the second year, they saw what I could do with the ball.'' This will be Moody's third season as a running back for the University of Florida. Four years since he transferred from the University of Southern California, and the same question about his ability remains: What can he do with the ball? He begins his senior season Saturday, but like Florida's offense as a whole, Moody still is somewhat of a mystery. He never has rushed for more than 460 yards in a season. Florida's backfield is loaded with talent this season. In theory, Moody (5-11, 215 pounds) is the Gators' most complete running back. He's big. He's fast. He can catch. He can block. He's experienced. Hampered by injuries throughout his career, Moody said he is healthy and ``pain free'' for the season opener against Miami of Ohio on Saturday. ``You're talking about a mature kid -- a mature kid in Moody,'' said Stan Drayton, UF's running backs coach. Moody and junior Jeff Demps are listed on UF's first unofficial depth chart of the season as first-string running backs. Behind Moody and Demps, sophomore Mike Gillislee and freshman Mack Brown have received early praise from their coaches. There was a time in his career when Moody would loathe playing on a team with so many talented running backs. After all, that's the reason why he left USC in 2006. Moody was named the Pacific-10 Conference Offensive Freshman of the Year in 2005 but left the Trojans on the eve of his sophomore season because then-USC coach Pete Carroll had stockpiled no less than eight highly rated rushers. ``It's my fifth year and my mind-set has changed a lot ever since I was a sophomore and junior,'' said Moody, who admitted he let a poor attitude affect his personality early in his career. ``I'm to the point where I'm just going to handle what I can handle and not think about [if] I'm going to be a 1,000-yard rusher.'' Moody wanted to be a featured back when he came to UF. The irony in that is that he transferred to a school where a 245-pound quarterback did most of the power rushing in a spread-option offense. Moody actually ran for more yards his freshman season at USC (459) than he did during his first and second seasons at UF (417 and 378 yards, respectively). It didn't help Moody's cause that the running backs coach who helped recruit him to Florida (Drayton) split for Tennessee before Moody played in a game. At the time, Drayton had a falling-out with UF coach Urban Meyer and left to work with then-Tennessee coach Phillip Fulmer. After one-year stops at Tennessee and Syracuse, Drayton mended his relationship with Meyer and returned to the staff. Moody was in his car this offseason when he received a phone call informing him that Drayton was returning to UF. Moody said he was so excited, he screamed. New assistant coach and no more Tebow -- none of it matters, of course, if Moody's ankles can't remain healthy for an entire season. Sprained ankles and bone spurs limited his carries in 2008 and 2009. He had two surgeries on his right ankle during the offseason and said he feels no pain for the first time in more than a year. ``I'm just

We are looking into it, NFL spokesman Greg Aiello told The Boston Herald. The sexually explicit video of Spikes and a woman was presumably recorded from the website chatroulette before Spikes was drafted. It was then offered for sale for $1,500 to another website, Deadspin.com, before surfacing on the Internet. The agent for Spikes, a rookie middle linebacker and second-round draft pick of the New England Patriots, told ESPNBoston.com it's an embarrassing situation. It was something that occurred before he became an NFL draftee and a New England Patriot, agent Terry Watson said. I think for anyone it would be an embarrassing situation. Brandon has shown to many people the kind of person he is before and after being drafted in the second round. He's hoping to put this behind him and looks forward to having a great football season. The Patriots have declined to comment. -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us

It will be interesting to see how much the true freshmen play once the SEC schedule starts Biggest surprise was Debose moving from slot to X. But Alli is hurt. When Alli returns - Debose moves back to slot. Concern is - Rainey has some type of breathing problem (asthma?, allergies?, something where he gets winded often). I'll bet that Debose subs for Rainey most of the time at slot. Biggest concern (by a HUGE margin) is still backup QB. I like Hines at TE. Wish we had a much bigger TE - but for what we have - and want to see Hines on the field - this is probably the best Incredible amount of talent on the field. If you have Thompson and Moore out wide, Rainey in slot, Hines at TE, Demps in backfield, and a really smart QB in Brantley that can see all mismatches - what the hell are you going to do? Even Alabama will have problems with this and they are probably the most talented team (other than us) (Alabama probably matches up the best with us). For the weaker teams - it will be a slaughter.

Alabama probably is a more physical team than us (just run the ball down people's throats - over and over) - whereas we have much more dimensions The problem with Alabama's style of play is - if we are on track and get out to an early lead - it is hard for Alabama to catch up. Whereas we can always open it up - and catch up. The great thing about this year is - we don't have a Tebow or a Harvin. Who are opposing defenses going to key on? And I think that Brantley will be better at seeing the whole field and all the mismatches and getting the ball to the best mismatch.

Obviously, it all depends on how they do in practice from week to week and as you say injuries, as to how much they will actually play. Do you think that Alabama is a more physical team than we are? They definitely had the speed on the D-line to cause some blocking problems for our O-lineman and WR's. I'm wondering with how much Alabama is going to want to run the ball with Ingram and Richardson, if we have the strength and stamina to slow them down for an entire ball game? I hope (scratch that) pray that you are correct on the slaughter remark. I would love for it to be that way. On paper, we have more possible mismatch scenarios this year, than we did last year.

Florida and Alabama are probably the two greatest teams in college football. They are the heavy weights going at it. They are probably so evenly matched - that the team that lost last - probably has the advantage in the next game. I don't expect any drop off in defense. This defense will be much more athletic. More depth on DL. Playing DT is like wrestling. Extremely tiring. But when you can rotate players - your defense does not wear down in the 4th quarter - as most defenses do. Great schedule to get these guys playing for four weeks before our first real test. Meyer is a play like you practice kind of guy - whereas I think that some players practice better than they plan while other guys play better than they practice. 4 games gives coaches time to figure out who plays good, gives the true freshmen more time to work into a starting role, heal injuries, etc. From: gatortalk@googlegroups.com [mailto:gatort...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Steve McKibben Sent: Tuesday, August 31, 2010 10:21 AM To: gatortalk@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [gatortalk] RE: [gatornews] [SUN]: ROBBIE's PLAYBOOK --- Freshmen dot depth chart --- 8/30 17:49 --- [Andreu] I think it's interesting that most of the writers are predicting a 2007-ish defensive regression for the Gators due to losing Spikes, Cunningham, Dunlap, Haden, Wright, Stamper, and Doe. That's six players, not all of whom were even full time starters. Alabama loses nine of last year's starting eleven, but that's summarily dismissed because they've recruited well and Saban always has his defense ready to play. Last time I checked that Meyer guy has done pretty well recruiting also, but I guess he's still perceived to be a gimmick coach. Last year we were depth shy and injured at DT when we played 'Bama. This year we seem to be deep and talented there, and they lost their best interior OL player. So, in theory, we should be able to hold up better against their downhill running game. Of course we'll need to, as a team, tackle a heck of a lot better than we did in the SECCG or matchups won't matter. What I'd like to see is Johnny Brantley lighting up their young secondary to the point that McElroy will have to try and win the game for them.

The best bar will often be a tiny, dank room with a sign outside that just says bar. Why? Because these are the places that don't attract tourists, the places that you have to look hard to find, the places that are usually locally owned and operated and that emphasize substance over style. Luckily, Gainesville has some of the coolest hidden gems around, and some not-so-hidden ones, too.

Like every other sweeping question in sports today, that is for ESPN to decide. In this case, the network has chosen well, plucking Kirk Herbstreit from a long ago audition tape and systematically positioning the former Ohio State quarterback for decades of racing around the country as an eyewitness, an ambassador, a mirror of the game. All the guy's missing is a catchphrase or two and - Whoa, Nelly! - we may be thinking of him in 20 years the way we do of Keith Jackson. How did it happen? Well, other than the fact that Herbstreit is very smooth and natural on camera and knows the game instinctively, there is his age, 41, and his passion for the chaos and the fun of a Saturday stadium on red alert, which should be good for another 41 years. As for ESPN's role in setting the American weekend agenda, they and the parent ABC network own the rights to the BCS bowls and the national championship game, plus a couple of prime-time Saturday showcase games per week, plus a new 15-year deal with the almighty SEC. That last one with Div. I's glamour conference goes for $2.25 billion all by itself, a pretty fair indicator of how important it was for Herbstreit to find a space on this runaway broadcast locomotive, even if it was originally the caboose. I was doing local radio (in Columbus, Ohio) and I put this little tape together, never thinking I would hear anything back, said Herbstreit, who was in West Palm Beach Monday for a waterfront rally to kick off the high school football season and highlight the area's best players. I went in for an audition (at ESPN) back in 1995 and, other than being interviewed in the locker room after games, I had never been on that side of the camera. Long story short, Herbstreit flew to ESPN headquarters in Connecticut, logged three minutes of play-by-play simulation work behind a SportsCenter desk and headed home for seven months of silence from the network honchos. When the phone finally rang, it was to offer a job as sideline reporter. Herbstreit jumped at it enthusiastically, just as he did the College GameDay gig that came along the following year. My goal when I started on GameDay was to one day be looked at in the same way that Dick Vitale is looked at in college basketball, Herbstreit said. Actually, that's a little too Lee Corso for my taste. With all the clowning that goes on at ESPN, all the driving of public opinion on which teams are truly worthy on a minute-by-minute basis, it might be better for Herbstreit to stay focused on the facts, no matter who likes it. That's how his dad, former Ohio State assistant coach Jim Herbstreit, always operated, and so did the Buckeyes' ultimate boss, Woody Hayes. I have memories of being 6 or 7 and going into the Ohio State locker room after a game and putting on Archie Griffin's helmet, Herbstreit said. I remember sitting on Woody Hayes' lap and him looking down and it was like God was looking and talking to me when Woody Hayes talked. I was just in awe of that whole setting. Now don't get mad about Herbstreit's choice of deities. He was born into a specific college football culture but has grown to appreciate them all. When Miami heads to Ohio State on Sept. 11, for instance, Herbstreit won't be calling for a Buckeyes blowout, the way his neighbors in Columbus would want it. These two teams met not only in 2002, which everyone remembers, but also in 1999, at East Rutherford, Herbstreit said. It was when Butch Davis was trying to get Miami up and out of probation and they had an opportunity in that Kickoff Classic to show America that the 'U' was back. They took advantage of it and won the game (23-12). I feel like Miami's on the verge of some great, great times and I think they need a game like Ohio State to show the country, and to show themselves, where they are. They're not going to have a bigger opportunity in any other game they play this year ... If they play up to

Since then, he's evolved into, well, a football player - and a potential playmaker, a guy willing to play any and all positions to get on the field and help Florida win football games. He's a quarterback. He's a Wildcat quarterback. He's a short-yardage runner. He's lining up as a slot receiver. He's a tight end. He's whatever the coaches ask him to be. He's the total ballplayer, UF offensive coordinator Steve Addazio said Tuesday. He lines up. He's taking snaps, direct runs, playing that hip/fullback/flexed-out guy (that Aaron Hernandez played last season). He's powerful, he's smart, he's a really good athlete. He's got great hands. That's been really fun to watch over the last five or six days. He's just like, 'Hey, I want to do whatever it takes to help this team and get on that football field.' He does everything. He's a fun guy to be around. Burton entered preseason camp as the No. 2 quarterback. But his role has expanded significantly over the past week or so. He may or may not still be the No. 2 quarterback (he's battling fellow true freshman Tyler Murphy), but his chances of contributing somewhere on offense this season seem to improve with each practice. Trey Burton has had a great week, Addazio said. He makes plays in a lot of different positions. It's really fun to watch him develop right now. That guy is playing all over the field making plays. He's playing it all. He's aplaymaker. So, that's really cool. He's really done a great job. He's very versatile. Hernandez was very versatile. Trey is maybe slightly different. He can do a lot of things. It's pretty amazing, really. Addazio said he still doesn't know who the No. 2 quarterback is between Burton and Murphy. Tight end Jordan Reed, a former quarterback, also remains an option,Addazio said. Parks returns After missing most of training camp due to a wrist procedure, redshirt freshman tight end Desmond Parks returned to practice, tight ends coach Brian White said. Parks will go five days before wearing full pads as part of his acclimation process, but participated some. He looks good in shorts, White said. In other injury news, Addazio said he didn't know the seriousness or type of knee injury sophomore offensive tackle Xavier Nixon suffered. He also said it was too early to tell ifredshirt sophomore tackle Matt Patchan (wrist) will play in Florida's opener. Patchan and Nixon are battling at left tackle, but Addazio said he's prepared if neither play. There are plenty of combinations, he said. Wide receivers coach Zach Azzanni said senior wide receiver Justin Williams (shoulder) is still in a sling and missed practice Tuesday, but the injury isn't considered serious and he's expected back in a couple of days. Christian moves around With redshirt junior fullback Steve Wilks out for a few weeks (back surgery), White said redshirt sophomore T.J. Pridemore and freshman tight end Gerald Christian are getting reps at fullback. White said Christian is serving as a tight end/H-back and has really improved since spring, especially with his blocking. He's getting better, but crosstraining a young athlete is never easy, White said.

Whatever they're called, they sure sound annoying. A recent New York Times story http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/23/education/23college.html?_r=1 reports on how colleges are dealing with parents who won't let go on move-in day. Morehouse College in Atlanta has instituted a formal parting ceremony to separate doting parents from their freshman children. Other colleges include blunt language in their drop-off schedules specifying the hour for goodbyes. It's easy for students to point to this notation and say, 'Hey, Mom, I think you're supposed to be gone now,' Thomas Dunne, Princeton University's associate dean of undergraduates, told the paper. It's obviously a hard conversation for students to have with parents. The over-parenting issue goes beyond move-in day. Some suggest that extreme parental involvement is harming students. Time Magazine reported http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1940395,00.html that some college deans describe freshmen as crispies, who arrived at college already burned out, and teacups, who are ready to break at the tiniest stress. University of Florida Dean of Students Jen Day Shaw said in an e-mail that the university's philosophy is that parent and family involvement is a good thing. With UF's challenging academic environment, she said, students value support from their families. For the very few family members who try to speak for the student without the student's involvement, we directly involve the student in the conversation, she said. So what do you think? Are involved parents a good thing or are they stunting the development of students?

Jason Henry/Correspondent I'm hitting the panic button a little bit, Meyer said. We've got to get better fast than what we are right now. I don't know if it's that we're good. It's just consistency of the offensive and defensive lines. We need to get them all in there. Once (offensive tackle) Matt Patchan comes back (from injury) and (tackle) Xavier Nixon returns, we'll look a little better on offense. When DT (wide receiver Deonte Thompson) and Carl Moore and Omarius Hines are all together, we'll look a little better. Right now, it's not Florida football yet. The less than flattering assessment of his team is not unusual for a coach whose team has just completed the mental and physical grind that is training camp. And this was a real grind, with a lot of nagging injuries and all kinds of August heat and humidity. Bodies are sore, legs are heavy, and there's still work to be done in the final few practice days before the Sept. 4 opener. It's training camp, Meyer said. Coaches, we panic every year at this time. We just finished 18 practices in 10 days. They're beat up pretty good, even after a few days off. With classes starting Monday, the Gators have said goodbye to preseason camp and hello to one-a-day practices (and more of a game-week routine). Meyer is still concerned with some areas of his team, but one player he does not appear worried about is junior quarterback John Brantley, who concluded training camp with another strong scrimmage performance Saturday, followed by another good practice Monday. Somebody asked me today about the difference between John Brantley and Tim Tebow, Meyer said. Outward appearances, there's a big difference. Inward. ... his competitiveness and leadership are fantastic right now, much better than I thought. I was really worried about that. When you have a guy like that (Tebow) in front of you, (Brantley) didn't show much (in the past). Today we did the two-minute drill and he did fantastic. He ran the whole show and acted like a veteran quarterback, like he is. I'm really encouraged by John. Everybody knows he can throw the ball. The other part is fantastic right now as far as management of the team and leadership. At the moment, Brantley is leading a Florida team that is still developing chemistry - and trying to develop some of the many highly rated freshmen who have advanced a little slower than expected, Meyer said. Just OK, Meyer said of the freshmen. Actually, a little disappointed in some of them. I thought they'd go take a spot. A few guys are doing decent - Matt Elam, Dominique Easley and Quinton Dunbar, who has been very good for us and might play this year. (Defensive end) Ronald Powell had a great practice today, but didn't have a great camp. He's coming on strong now. Some of those big-game guys, I thought we'd have some of them cracking the lineup right now, but not yet. Team chemistry also needs a little work, Meyer said. I like our chemistry, where we're at. But I can't say I love it right now, he said. I was hoping we'd be a little more advanced, but we've still got whatever it is, 12 days. You can tell (if it's good) by how they take the practice field. Do they hate it, do they love it, do they understand it's a chance to get a little better? I still don't feel that yet. I don't feel the urgency. I feel it among the coaches, because they know what's coming. Twenty-five young players that dominated like they did in high school have no idea what's about to hit them. What hit Monday were those training camp blues. Contact Robbie Andreu at 352-374-5022 or andr...@gvillesun.com.

This time he doesn't want to blow it. Thomas, a defensive tackle, is in his fourth year with Denver after being drafted in the fourth round of the 2007 NFL Draft. It's the last year of his contract. He knows what it means. It's down to the wire, he said. I put it in the mindset that I'm back in college. This is the fourth year of college. It's time to start producing. You can't be a rookie forever. I see guys get cut and never sign on with anyone else. I don't want people to be wondering what ever happened to Marcus Thomas. Thomas started 16 games for the Broncos in 2008 but had no starts last season. He has yet to record an NFL sack. I can't believe that, he said. They're hard to come by. It is a different Marcus Thomas than the senior who was suspended three times at Florida, the third time permanently. Thomas was suspended for the opener of Florida's national championship campaign in 2006, then again for six games before being reinstated. Prior to Florida's game at Vanderbilt, he was booted from the team. We wondered at the time if he had thrown it all away. His suspensions were for positive marijuana tests and his dismissal was for violating the restrictions put on him by coach Urban Meyer. Florida recovered. Thomas wondered if he ever would. I look back at Florida and I really, really blew it, he said. I'm definitely more mature now. I thought I had thrown my career away at the time. Luckily, Mike Shanahan gave me a chance. But even when I got to the league, I took it for granted. I thought I was supposed to be here. I should have been drafted higher. That was then. This is now with an exclamation point. He can look back at that senior year and shake his head. What was I thinking? He was a dominant force in the middle for a Gator team that had one of the best defensive lines in school history. Jarvis Moss, his current Denver teammate, and Derrick Harvey at the ends, both eventual first-round picks. Ray McDonald next to him in the middle. When he came back from the six-game suspension, it was controversial, one of those chances a coach takes that can blow up in his face. It did. Missed out on the national championship game, Thomas said. I was happy they won but I should have been out there. It hurt. It really hurt. On the flip side, when I was watching the game, I was wishing I was playing for Ohio State. There was some resentment. But when I look back, I was being prepared for the real world. In college, you're still being babied. You come out here and there are no second or third chances. This may be his last. He's fighting for a spot in the Denver rotation, fighting to keep his NFL career alive. Thomas looks into the distance and tries to understand why the young Marcus Thomas thought he could get away with it. Entitlement. We see it all the time. College football players get that way at times. They think they're the only thing that matters. When a team is fighting for a national title, well, the rules don't apply to the stars. At least that's what he thought. They had some regulations and restrictions I pretty much violated, he said. I was doing well on the field and I felt like they pretty much needed me. I thought I was bigger than the team. Urban proved I wasn't. It appeared to be a huge blow for the Gators in 2006. I remember showing up in the Vandy press box and being stunned by the news. I got a whole bunch of those hate Facebook messages, Thomas said. I understand now. One career was thrown away. This one still has life. We'll see where it goes. In this, his senior year.

But instead of catching passes and producing big plays and touchdowns, he's found himself butting heads with frustration and disappointment seemingly every step of the way. It all appeared to boil over for the junior college All-American wide receiver last spring. One day, he angrily stormed off the field at the end of practice. The next practice, he didn't show up. Many were wondering: Is this it? Is this the end of Carl Moore at Florida? As it turned out, it wasn't. He returned to practice and played in the spring game. On Wednesday, five months later, Moore talked to the media for the first time since his brief but mysterious spring disappearance. He revealed that his two-day departure had nothing to do with any issues on the playing field. I was dealing with some personal issues on my own, he said. It was just a couple of days. After that it was (over). I met with the coaches. I talked to them every day. I really just got through it. I've got to play ball, so I just went. Moore was asked if he considered leaving the team during those two days he was away from the team. No, nothing like that, he said. No. Moore would not reveal what his personal issues were, but said they were resolved. Ever since then, he said he's been concentrating on football and working to get better. Maybe the frustration and disappointment are behind him now, and it's time to start living up to those expectations. Carl has had a great preseason, offensive coordinator Steve Addazio said. He's really locked in right now. I'm real happy with Carl, and for Carl. I really think he's got the right mindset. I think he's going to have a really good year this year. Addazio said he never felt like he might lose Moore when Moore momentarily left in the spring. You know how it is. You appreciate what these guys go through, Addazio said. High expectations, injuries, disappointment. They're still kids. They're young and sometimes they don't handle those things exactly text book. But they bounce back and they learn and grow. Carl has come back with a great attitude and outlook, and I like where he's headed right now. A lot. Moore appeared headed in the right direction a year ago, too, but he got blindsided by probably the biggest disappointment of his career. His lower back went out in camp and he eventually had season-ending surgery to repair a bulging disc. It's tough when you train hard and something like that happens right before the season starts, he said. There was nothing I could do. All I did was train and try to get back. I just kept working to get my back right so I could get back this year. Moore redshirted last season and now he's preparing for a second crack at his senior season. He's apparently off to a good start. I'm really pleased with him, wide receivers coach Zach Azzanni said. He's a veteran guy. He's become a player and he's taking coaching and he has a good attitude and he's hungry. He knows this is a limited window for him. It's time to go. Along with junior Deonte Thompson, Moore has emerged as one of the leaders of a young wide receiver corps. When Moore talks about the upcoming season, he doesn't mention any personal goals he might have. I'm more motivated for team success, he said. I'm more concerned with us winning a national championship. This is my last year, and I want to win and go out on top. When Moore was asked if he expected to be one of quarterback John Brantley's go-to guys, he said, Honestly, I just want us to win. I'm just down for winning. Whatever I have to do to contribute to that, that's what I'm going to do. Moore's attitude seems right. So is his back, he said. My back is 100 percent, he said. My back is good. And Moore is back for one last shot to make something happen in his Florida career.

RE: [gatortalk] Gainesville Sun-Coxson couldn't take it
Forgot to add - we picked up Chris Martin - an incredible LB - because he quit UCLA or California or some team like that. So there is a ton of this quitting going on nowadays .. Matt Elam had a nice tweet about it. Anyone know Matt Elam's twitter account? Remember what Elam went through to get to Florida? Committed to Florida, then switched to FSU, then came back to Florida. Nobody believed it till they saw him in class.

Childress said that Harvin's episode was triggered when he looked up into a mostly cloudy sky to field a punt during a special teams drill. Harvin went inside to see team physician Dr. Sheldon Burns, then came back out to the field. At that point, Harvin doubled over and was seen trembling, before players and coaches stood in front of him for privacy while reporters watched from a distance. Whats strange about this is... there were reports of him having these attacks/migraines earlier this week and missing camp...

Their seats split the uprights in the south end zone, and Brantley, a former Gators quarterback, used the view to teach his son the intricacies of playing the sport's most demanding position. http://a.espncdn.com/photo/2010/0816/ncf_u_brantley_d1_300.jpg Kim Klement/US PresswireJohn Brantley has waited three years to take over from Tim Tebow. The Brantley family's Saturday trips to The Swamp started when John http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/player/profile?playerId=235158 Brantley IV was just a toddler, but they became even more important when he was old enough to digest what he was seeing. You could see the plays open up and see the plays progressing, the elder Brantley said. It was like watching the end zone camera shot on TV. At the time, the younger Brantley could not have known he was staring into his future, too. When the No. 3 Gators open their season Sept. 4 against Miami (Ohio) at The Swamp, John Brantley IV will make his first start at quarterback. For the first time in three seasons, someone other than 2007 Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow will start under center for the Gators. Playing quarterback at a school such as Florida comes with enough on-the-job hazards. But replacing someone like Tebow, who is regarded as one of the sport's greatest players after helping the Gators win BCS national championships in 2006 and '08, might be the least enviable job in recent college football history. He's got more pressure on him than any player in college football history, former Florida quarterback Shane Matthews said. Brantley, a junior from Ocala, Fla., seems to be embracing the challenge of replacing Tebow, who is now a rookie backup quarterback with the Denver Broncos. After all, Brantley patiently waited three seasons to replace him. “ He's got more pressure on him than any player in college football history. ” -- Former Florida quarterback Shane Matthews There's going to be a lot of pressure, but it's tough for me to look at it like that because Tim and I are so close, Brantley said. I know fans are expecting a lot from me, but everyone expects a lot from the quarterback at Florida. Everyone expects a lot from the team. Brantley's father knows his son will inevitably be compared with Tebow, who accounted for 145 touchdowns (88 passing and an SEC-record 57 rushing), 9,285 passing yards and 2,947 rushing yards in his brilliant four-year career. It's a situation I wouldn't want to be in, Brantley's father said. But I think it's a situation he'll embrace. He's been going to Florida games since he was 2 years old. He knows what he's taking on, and he's ready. It's almost as if Brantley was predestined to play quarterback at Florida. His father was the Gators' starting quarterback in 1977 and '78, throwing 13 career touchdowns while playing in a wishbone offense. Brantley's uncle, Scot, was a star linebacker at Florida and was named All-SEC in 1977 and '78. After Brantley committed in spring 2006 to playing at Texas, his uncle immediately second-guessed his decision. John Brantley wasn't sure Gators coach Urban Meyer's spread offense was the right fit for his talents and preferred the Longhorns' pro-style attack. I warned him, 'Hey, Johnny, you're going to be an outsider going in there and trying to win the No. 1 job and take it from a Texas quarterback. Are you nuts?' Scot Brantley said. He was born a Gator, only 35 miles down the road. Scot Brantley, who works as a radio analyst for the Gator Network, told his nephew the Gators would take care of their own. Five days before Christmas 2006, Brantley called Meyer and told him he wanted to play for the Gators. http://a.espncdn.com/photo/2010/0816/ncf_g_ttebow_florida1_200.jpg Sam Greenwood/Getty ImagesTim Tebow was a fiery leader who found the end zone on the ground more times than any other SEC player. I think it does help to have the name recognition, Scot Brantley said. It didn't hurt Brantley's development to have a former college quarterback as his father, either. Brantley's father

Often times, they are just 1 or 2 injuries or 1 or 2 years from being able to contribute or even start at their respective position. Alot of people seem to not have any desire to put in their time, work, and just wait their turn.

I was thinking he was a corner - he was a safety. The coaches got all giddy over Elam and said Elam would start as the fifth DB in the nickel back. So Elam would most likely replace Ahmad Black next year. What if Will Hill leaves this year? Haden could be starting next year .
