This has me extremely worried. I'm envisioning teams exploiting this glaring weakness all season now.
Seems like a team with any speed/size at wideout can just run shotgun, spread the field and exploit Hall...
I mean I know its Ratio Randy, dude is a monster, second best wideout in the game but that was horrible.
What do you guys think?

Well you also have to add it is also Brady tossing him the ball. If I'm correct on the second TD Hall was in position it was that Moss went up and made the play.

I was impressed w/ the oline, JC, Thomas, Haynesworth, and Kelly.

Who knows if Tebow will be a great NFL QB or not? He doesn't even play the same position that NFL QB's play.

Well, I agree he may be a bit cumbersome for the small forward position :-) - are you suggesting tight end?

Agreed

I'm just worried about teams negating any pass rush with the shotgun spread offense and burning our corners.
Like someone said earlier I hope hall gets more safety help over the top on certain receivers.
Just seems like a weakness that teams will notice and expose. I don't see anyone running up the middle on us, but teams with certain personnel will give us fits, I can already see it happening.
Hopefully our offense can contribute

What he said, it doesnt look as if he'll play qb in the league

Whos the last good qb from UF anyways? Was there ever one?

I'm impressed with Marco for bringing some real competition to the wideout position. I think it helps make all the wideouts better.

Kerwin Bell, Rex Grossman, Bob Hewko, Doug Johnson, Eric Kresser, Shane Matthews, Jesse Palmer, John Reaves, Kay Stephenson, Danny Wuerffel, and Steve Spurrier are all former UF QBs that played in the NFL.

I get your point.

But there's always a first time....

Was Jesse Palmer the dude on the bachelor a few years back? lol...I dont watch that show, I swear...

yeah, I'm not a big JC fan, but I was enamored with his play on Friday (I'm extemely impressionable)...albeit in a preseason environment.

I wanted them to trade for Cutler...but giving up the two first rounders woulve mortgaged our future...we desperately need o line help in the first round next year. And Orakpo looks like a building block for our franchise.

Definitely wouldnt have moved up for Sanchez, although I think he has more potential than JC....

Shit, we've won our super bowls with average/below average qbs. Its all line play.

But with that being said I do think Campbell is one of the low tier qbs in the league....I hope he proves me wrong this year.

Other than qb we have the skill players to make some noise...but their window of opportunity is slipping...before we have to tear down and rebuild..

You just made anything you say from this point on completely irrelevant.

I can't believe you could even think about a ridiculous comparison like this, let alone actually post it.

Wow.

No, Hall stayed with him, but Moss made a move in the route and got inside of Hall. There was no way Hall could reach the ball or get through Moss. Great in-route move by Moss, I have to admit it. But, it doesn't make me worry about Hall's coverage...most CBs have trouble covering Moss. Hall stayed with him speed-wise, but just got beat by a nice move, a smart move.

Yeah I hear you, if he hadn't gotten beat twice like that I wouldnt be worried...

I dont know what the safety was doing, but I hope he wasnt playing the run on the Pats...

CB Freddie Smoot started on the other side in place of injured C. Rogers. The safeties were helping Smoot over the top.
It is preseason and they probably wanted to test and see if Hall could handle Moss in man coverage. Not many Cb's in the NFL can single cover Randy Moss. The problem is the Pats have Randy Moss, Wes Welker and Joey Galloway, with Brady throwing it to them. Who do you double? Moss will be doubled next time.
I do see a problem with our depth at CB and few other positions. Barnes and Tryon are young and can not be counted on right now.
