"I don't see it as easy as you guys do. We have mistakes in our details and we're still very sloppy. (Bray) throws accurate balls, and we're catching the ball right now. Is it easy? I don't know. Every game, I don't worry about that with that kid. Not a lot bothers him," Chaney said.

"He just goes out and plays. I don't know if he knows if it's first-and-10 or third-and-2 half the time. He's just playing ball. That's what makes him a pretty solid player sometimes."

"It can get that way, but my wife's a pharmacist and I'm heavily sedated right now. So I don't need to worry about it," Chaney laughed. "It's part of growing up. I would say that 90 percent of the freshmen we're putting on the field can't tell you down-and-distance if we ran out there real quick and tested them.

"It's not unique. You want your quarterbacks to have a great awareness of everything, but he's got a lot on his plate. If he catches the snap and throws it to the right guy accurately, I'm very happy."

Really?

Tells me that Bray, DaRick and Hunter are playing backyard football right now. They were talented enough to make it work against Memphis and they should have success in the next three games. Imagine what they'll do when the grasp the whole game. The future is bright.

It tells me that Chaney is worried about playing all these freshmen in key positions but he's happy they have the talent to be successful. He's especially happy that Bray is able to make plays even though he doesn't think he is fully aware of what is happening. It puts a lot of pressure on the offensive coordinator to get the right play called when the players can't react/audible to changes on the ground.

Plus it also shows how funny Chaney is and how well he understands his players.

See, I got a lot out of that, but then again, I talk to myself alot and often get in arguements.

It does help alot when the QB doesn't feel a ton of stress on him to make a play. A great example of this is 2008 - first half of 2009 with Crompton. He seemed like he put so much pressure on himself to make every play he was mentally wiped out. I think Chaney is really wanting to mix more stuff into Bray's head and advance him as a QB. The future is indeed bright.:thumbsup:

Watch it with the personal attacks bud. Just saying that original post really didn't make a lot of sense.

watch the personal attacks? seriously? you make a sarcastic comment that adds nothing to any discussion and you have a problem with me? Lighten up Francis. If our OC's comments told you nothing, then obviously you never played sports of any kind. Its commentary on what its like for a true freshman to line up at QB in the SEC. Now do you get it?

I have no problem with you, just stated that the original post didn't make much sense. It was like it was cut off half way through the story. I appreciate your contribution to Volnation though and look forward to your future posts. Go get some coffee and relax. :thumbsup:

I can dig it. The thing is that I can only post a few quotes, anything more and it gets into a copyright area. I thought it was actually funny that Chaney was talking about the stress/anxiety of Bray starting and yet Bray is unfazed. Its all good.

That's true, I didn't think about that. I'm glad you guys post stuff over here from Volquest. I think Bray either handles stress VERY well or is just too young to really understand at this point.

Maybe it's just me but I think it's pretty important for our QB to know down and distance during a game. Our freshman may not know down and distance but they know how to laver and rinse.

Does this mean Chaney and his wife could get into trouble for illegal use of prescription drugs or something?

Yeah, but it is pretty cool that when they don't know the down and distance that the coach can say, "throw it to the 23 yard line left hash mark belly high" and the QB can do it. Then all they have to tell the receiver is "wide left, run to the 23 and stop and catch the ball." :thumbsup:

Thats exactly what it means. Pretty soon we're going to have the FDA breathing down our backs.

I think it's the DEA that handles that sort of thing. If they can play backyard ball and win, thats the way to do it. Just imagine how good they will be in the end. If they can end up competing in the SEC while still just "having fun," we, my friends, are in for a treat in a couple of years. V,B!!
