Obviously this is your horse in the race - but youre right that it is time to force Diaco to play him - so get more intense (coaches words) and beat out the guy who has so many limitations that you have pointed out. The telling point of this is Whitmer is SO bad but that the coach will only play Boyle a series a week - I highly doubt it's that nagging lower leg 'injury' - I won't tell you why only one series a game as you seem much too intelligent to need me to point that out.There are NO observable facts that Whitmer is better. The offense is limited by the kinds of throws he can make. Not to knock on a gutsy guy but opposing defensive coordinators only have to defend certain kinds of pass plays (i.e. long fade routes). If Diaco hadn't burned Boyles redshirt I would have no problem with Whitmer playing every down. However once burned even Stony Brook could defend Whitmer. By the way, to the village idiot who commented on Boyle starting only one year at Xavier it might be appropriate to remember Xavier won 3 consecutive state championships and their coach was bright enough to use the abundance of talent at Xavier and tailor each offensive year to that talent. Boyle will never improve until he has a chance to let that cannon arm force defenses to respect the entire field. Last year in his first game two TD passes were dropped. You can't throw it and catch at the same time.
Our guys and mostly young guys played one hell of a game against EC. It's too bad that we are so easy to defend and that's on Whitmer despite the FACT he is one tough kid. You want UConn to win you have to have a guy who can force all defenses to respect the entire field. Even Orlovsky didn't have a very good first year, but everyone learned and improved. Whitmer will never be able to do that. Even the running game stalls with some pretty good RB's because opposing defenses can still stack the box. Boyle may not be the answer but only a fool would think 1 series of action a game would enhance his development. Get him in a rhythm, force the opposition to respect the whole field and then we will know whether he is the future. Good guy that he is, Whitmer has proven he is not the answer, and a note to Boyle, get in the film room, play every practice like its the Super Bowl and force Diaco to play you. That's not on Whitmer it's on you!
Dan O first year stats-
269 atts
9 TD's
11 ints
It is really not fair to attempt to claim Dan really didn't have a good first year compared to Tim's first year - there is a light years difference between the two.
Tim's first years
0 TD's
8 ints
133 atts
18 sacks
I could give CW stats but I guess those aren't observable facts ...and no observable facts that Boyle is better than Sheriffs...
'We want to play Tim, we really do'
'Tim is our future until someone beats him out'
Those are some telling quotes by our head coach about Tims development under this coaching staff.
