MGB video: Canales talks about Williams, UNT's offense

Green P1 · September 17, 2014

The offense he ran Thursday night seemed just as complex as any of the delays and draws our whiz kid Greer ran the first three weeks. I wouldn't worry about a dummed down gameplan.

LongJim · September 17, 2014

I wonder if the play calling will be very simple on Saturday so DW is not overwhelmed.

I'm guessing it will be. You'll see a lot of the same plays run out of different sets. They will put the plays in that he runs well and hope for the best.

UNT90 · September 17, 2014

I'm thinking you see a lot of handoffs until the score is at least 21-0.

Not like the complicated gameplan for Greer was being followed/executed well...

Denton'Merica · September 18, 2014

Canales sounds hesitant or not happy about the decision? Do you guys agree?

personally knowing Canales and I KNOW that is a oh... SH!T look. With that being said.. I do feel DW bring the best QB play to the table. What are we losing trying him at the start instead of the 4th in mop up duty?

I honestly believe Canales went after Greer because he saw something in him and it can not be easy to let go. It makes sense. As some of you have said the best guy will be on the field... FINALLY!

Just spoke to a guy in my class that is good friends with John Chelf. According to Chelf, Dajon is fairly clueless as far as the playbook goes, but they didn't run the ball once in practice. Literally threw it the entire time. So that should be interesting to see how that works out.

I doubt that the player meant his off-the-cuff remarks about a teammate to be posted on GMG. In my opinion this post was inappropriate.

I spoke to a friend that doesn't even know Dajon and she says Chelf has brought a big bag of nothing his entire time in the program in her opinion.

i don't care if we only run three offensive plays on Saturday, as long as we run them well and score... Auburn's playbook is about the size of an the DRC sports section and they just played in the national title game

H-towngreen · September 18, 2014

Baylor doesn't even have a playbook. Just the same few plays run out of different sets

Thankfully, simple is all that is needed against Nicholls State. The problems of him not bothering to learn the playbook will arise during the games that follow Nicholls State.

Whatever the case, looks like the QB race will be wide open again next spring. Hopefully, they'll sign another JUCO to compete and another prep to groom. There are already many bodies there, but none seem to be worth much in the way of actually playing college-level football.

Which is unacceptable.

Completely unacceptable.

In the highlight tape he looks like he has great instincts and throws a great deep ball. His speed is not as good as I had thought based on the comments about dual threat on this board. Most of his runs everyone just seems to be jogging, even the defense.

Thank you. People are making Dajon out to be the next coming of Michael Vick (in the good sense), and he's . . . just not. His athleticism/foot speed is obviously miles ahead of Greer and probably ahead of McNulty as well, but that sweet ball he throws is really his best asset.

The dude palms the college ball like it's a freakin baseball. He has some mits, for sure.

Riley and Vizza might have been some of the best on-the-run throwers I've seen, and I wonder if DW is even better.

About as useful as McNulty... Mac really uses his ties to bring down the Iowa big guns huh?

to me Vince Young looked like he was always jogging too. Maybe that's how really tall athletes look like when they run...I'm short, round, and nonathletic so I can't speak from experience.

Cr1028 · September 18, 2014

Haha. :lol: Travis that was funny. I think we are of the same stature.

EagleGreen · September 18, 2014

It appeared that he couldn't find his ass with both hands, in practice. Let's hope that changes. Everyone looked tired. Let's hope for a win and a LOT of success in future practice.

IslandEagle · September 18, 2014

I don't think he is actually super fast. Perhaps he moves well in traffic and is fast enough.

Actually, he was listed as having a 4.5 40 coming out of high school. Even given the fudge factor, he can move fairly good for a QB at any level.

Who showed him having a 4.5?

IslandEagle · September 19, 2014

Who showed him having a 4.5?

2012 Texas Football that included him in their Texas Top 300 list and in their team preview which mentioned Dajon Williams (6-4, 190 4.5) and said, "No player could prove more pivotal than QB Williams (2,162 yards, 30 TD's passing), a dual-threat who lead the Cougars to 41.3 points a game".

Interesting. Other sources showed him slower than that. Of course, who knows which of them is accurate, if any?
