Patience

Chris Coleman, a much better scrimmage observer than I, will check in later, but for now, here are my thoughts on yesterday’s scrimmage.

First of all, I came away a little disappointed in Logan Thomas ‘s play, but comments made by Scot Loeffler to the media after the scrimmage cheered me up.

The source of my disappointment: Logan’s accuracy doesn’t seem to have improved from last season. Just like last season, he was sharp at times, and way off at other times. He hit a few receivers in stride, but he badly underthrew one receiver who had gotten five yards behind the defense (I think it was Demitri Knowles), and though the stats show a long completion, the truth is that the ball was very badly thrown.

And one of Logan’s interceptions was simply a hideous pass. A receiver (Josh Stanford, if memory serves) had beaten his defender badly and was headed to the corner of the end zone for a wide open TD, but a lightly-pressured Logan flubbed up his footwork and threw a floater off his back foot that was easily intercepted. The picture at right was taken during the interception, and you can see that Logan’s footwork is way off. It looks like he even hopped when he threw it.
