Temple Football Forever 
ok, Smith to fullback, great. the real question is who is behind center? one week away and nobody knows?
not a problem to me. I want Daz to get this right. I hate the fact that our QBs don't run and get tackled and sacked during practice. that's the only way you can simulate what they would do under pressure. I think coyer and Gerardi would do just fine, watching their films against pressure. Chester, I never saw him once do a positive thing under pressure (and by that I mean solely a pass rush, not with the game on the line). I hope Daz will consider this in making his final decision.
