re: Fields will Redshirt (Official Prediction)

I watched the game in person. Then I DVR'd it and watched on the TEEvee alone with no kid, no jibber jabbering wife, just wonderful sweet peace and relatively sober.



Observations:


-The term "First Team Defense" and "Second Team Defense" seem less meaningful with as much attrition from end of season. It looks more like 1A and 1B defenses.


-Justin Fields in person is more impressive than on TEEvee. I had watched plenty of highlight films, but in person he looks alot better.

-Justin Fields may have been "unfairly" called "down" once or twice when he legitimately would have escaped, but there were three or four times where the defender didn't get a hand on him because they slowed up to avoid creaming him, thus the play continued.

-Justin Fields is still adjusting to the speed of the defenses on this level, in the pocket. It may not be a bad idea to have him do a scrimmage this summer and allow contact. He seems to have no issue, however, with the speed of the defense in pass coverage. He is a gifted passer.

-Fromm needs this push from Fields to avoid a Sophomore Slump.


-Jefferson needs to do another comic strip with Fields laughing and Fromm being sad, like he did with Eason/Fromm last year.
