2017 Spring Practice
By: SBUFootball Date: April 9, 2017, 8:32 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Three things that are a must for SBU to achieve a good year;
QB play has to improve..
Play calling & using the short passing game to open up the long
ball.
DL pressure off the edge & Better pass coverage
We have players on offensive side that can make this happen; but
the QB needs to be abe to read & react.

The QB position is a question mark for now. But if its Fields
or Carbone they will also need time to throw let alone the
skill to throw

I feel like this football team is a battleship that has no
captain to drive the ship!. I mean. You cant have a winning
program without a good QB, and HC, bottom line.. You can have a
team filled with 5 star players, but if you dont have a QB who
can throw, or has the football IQ to scramble when he should,
etc.... a team is lost at sea.. Just how i feel..

I totally agree. If we don't have good QB play, we'll never get
over the hump and be competitive. We're one QB (and a competent
coach) away from being a playoff team. Have to get it done. We
haven't had good QB play since Essington graduated. You don't
have to set the world on fire in our offense either. Just be
competent and don't turn the ball over.

With a solid QB, I am confident that this team will be in the
playoffs. We just honestly need somebody as good as Essington-
he would get the ball reliably downfield but wasn't a
showstopper by any means. I can't say that we have had a good
(or even average) QB since he left which is ridiculous. This is
a solid FCS program and really ought to have at least a marginal
QB. That guy from Sacred Heart last year looked better than
anything we have had.
I'm still holding out hope on Fields- I think we all know what
Carbone brings to the table but Fields at least is a wildcard.
Now if it doesn't look like Fields is the solution, I'd be
ringing up all those FBS arms that are looking for instant
playing time if I was in Priore's shoes. I hate to rely on
transfers but this team needs to start producing. There is so
much talent at RB/WR that this offense can definitely go places.

OK, People. I think i am listening to some ACC coach talk about
their star QB.. Am I missing something here? Does coach P really
think Carbone had a wonderful season last season and is picking
up where he left off??? I am confused. Please translate into my
language to what coach P is trying to portray about our QB
situation...
Dazed and confused!!!!!!!

first of all, who cares how Carbone played in a spring
scrimmage. Carbone sucked last season, you cant put a bow on a
pig. statistically speaking, Carbone had one of the worst
seasons that I have ever seen of a QB, certainly for a starting
QB at the college level. what's more to see with him. as long
as Fields can learn the playbook, he's got to get a shot.

If Carbone is the QB, I don't think I'll be able to stomach
watching the team play. His QB play was by no definition good- I
have no idea how Priore said in that video on the SBU webpage
that he played well. 3 TDs to 12 INT, 52% completion percentage,
1.3 YPC when he did run the ball. Overall, I hate to knock these
college kids but they're not putting him in a position to
succeed.
All we need is somebody to be at least as good as Lyle Negron
was, not asking for too much. I can only imagine what this team
would be with Kyle Essington levels of production from 2012 for
example (23 TDs to 8 INTs and 59% completion percentage).

You better care how someone plays in a scrimmage because it's
about competing and if you don't show improvement then how can
you expect to be any better in live action.
The main reason we didn't bring in another QB was Coach P didn't
want to have 5 young QB's so it comes down to this at this point
right now Carbone is #1 with Fields #2 and Cassidy #3 and so
expect the short passing game to the TE/RB to be a big part of
the offense in 2017 because Carbone takes to many sacks, too
many interceptions and makes to many mistakes.
