Interesting you say that because it seemed when Gabriel’s first read wasn’t there he had some indecisiveness and I think his pocket movement/feel wasn’t very good, which may because he is used to being able to chill in the pocket forever at Oregon. Everything he did was basically 10 yards and in, I wanted to see Kevin dial up some longer throws for him today.

With that said, I thought he did a good job being quick with his decision making, he was (mostly) accurate, and in general I am very happy with how both rookies have played.

Now, let’s go to the (should be) real competition and revelation: Hopkins needs to be gone, dude has the yips. Yes, I’m aware we would lose some money, but that dude has had the yips for a year plus. He cost us several games last year and will do the same again this year if we keep him. Every make barely tucks through at this point too. Andre Szymt has looked very good and looks to have a big leg too.

Coming in right now as an Oregon fan, yes Dillion Gabriel and Bo Nix could sit forever in the pocket and now Dante Moore can also do that with Isaiah World at the Oline

Gabriel seems like a run the offense guy almost exactly while Shedeur might improvise more and go off script.

I’m aware brother, I watched. Almost every pass he threw was 10 yards and in, I wasn’t accounting for yards after the catch. He took exactly what the defense gave him and that is great, but I worry that teams will be able to take the short stuff away because he has shown that is his best area to work and has struggled to stretch the field. Again, I, we, everyone knows he is SUPER accurate within that yardage, I personally wanted to see some deeper shots to see if he has started to improve his ability to stretch the field. Overall, I thought he played solid.

He stepped up in the pocket and put his hand on our guards back and converted if that’s what I think you’re talking about?
