Sorry for that off topic post. I'm a bit under the weather I guess...

Attedance was poor. Not more than 4k. About 100 students in the endzone. Not what  I expected.

SBU and Albany continue to draw the same anemic crowd from the old NEC days

Don't forget  # 13  Levelle  he can fly when he gets the ball.    We will be ok  in 2014. Now who  is our QB going to be ?

Well, Hammer, I guess I'm just a little bit more optimistic than you are--here's some of the reasons why:

1) You've forgotten the most probable starting QB next year--Conor Bednarski; and I think he has the potential to be a really good one.
 2) You mention Coxson returning, but I believe Jahrie Level (who's displayed some great hands and speed in hi  limited action) is likely to really come into his own at WR.
3) Re: DBs, I'm still hopeful that Reuben Johnson and Davonte Anderson may be considered for medical redshirts this year based upon their season-ending injuries.  Also, there are some pretty good freshman coming up--at LB also.

All that being said, you know that Priore is going to come up with a few terrific transfers.  He always does.

Hammer:  Coach P does not need a double or triple option QB, we don't run that kind of offense.  we need a kid that can complete 60-70% of his pass attempts, while keeping the defenses honest by being able to throw the ball down field when needed.  While Negron was a warrior this season, he was wildly inconsistent.  we need consistent play out of the QB position next year to be successful.

BFF. I agree and know Priore does not run that type of offense, and why is that. It's because he never had to. Stepping up to the CAA as we are all aware now, is extremely tough. Teaching or recruiting a Quarterback to be a double option player only adds to the diversity that is needed in this league.. Why do you think all the TV announcer say " Ground and pound" It's because we did that for years and everybody knows that and it worked very well in the BS but, in the CAA and against some FBS schools you need to have a 52  deck of cards at your disposal if the ground and pound isin't working.....Having another bullet in the chamber is a good thing in a gunfight !!!!!

Don't forget Carlos Hernandez he has good field of vision & make quick reads & he usually gets rid of the ball within 2 to 2 1/2 seconds.

How about the play of the TE Connor; he hasn't played DE since August 2012. He was able to put pressure on the QB several times & 1 sack.

They needed players to step up n help at hey positions.

 The Albany playoff gm 2 yrs ago drew almost a sellout crowd, so like it was said bad weather and meaningless gm played into attendance. As for DB's Davonte Anderson will get the redshirt cause he was hurt in the summer, Reuben Johnson is a wait and see. With Kenner and Coker coming back don't be surprised if Fredericks get's the redshirt next yr cause that was supposed to happen this yr. The DL will be good again with all the returning guy's and add Cammara and Singleton to that. Conner Davis looked good on the DL so maybe he stays there, that's were they had him slated when he got here. As for LB watch out for John Haggert who will be a major force next year. As for QB it looks like it will be wide open, Bednarski has ability to run with his big arm. Maybe D'Amato goes full time WR, there had to be a reason that they kept putting an injured Negron out there. With an expanded roll for Tye there might not be a need for the top WR next yr. I know I am getting ahead of myself but watch out for incoming freshman Jake Carlock from Babylon at WR, he has the size 6'2" 210 the speed and hands to contribute right away ( one of the best players I have seen on the island in the last couple of yrs ). Check out optimum ch 614 and you can watch some of his gms. Injuries were the story, this team had 2nd half leads against Towson and led Main late in the fourth. They played with everyone except Villanova so I would say that there doesn't need to be major changes on how they play Football. As for opponents next year with the tough CAA schedule an FBS gm or two, you will still see a lighter non conference schedule cause you still need a good win lose record to make the playoffs.
