not really, no.

what TOB said that's important is that they're going to back to, i would guess a pro-style or power-I setup, whatever they ran at boston college. RW would have to learn that when he comes back, which would be difficult.

RW having to scramble a lot i think was primarily due to the spread style we put in place, football nerds can correct me if im wrong.

BYE RUSSELL

2/3/2011 10:18:34 AM

^^^^
He is under a professional baseball contract, and he is not on campus (in the Spring). I'd say those two things are different.


^^^
I think you have it backwards. We went to a spread offense to take advantage of the skillset of Russell Wilson (and the limitations of our O-line's run blocking ability).

2/3/2011 10:33:05 AM

Bye Russell! Thanks for everything.

2/3/2011 10:37:02 AM

^^he did that last year too

same thing as this year

no spring practice, will maybe come back in august

TOODALOOOOO

2/3/2011 10:44:05 AM

Difference w/ this year...TOB said they will change the offense for the spring and Glennon. If Russ wants to come back, he'll be running a difference offense. We're moving on.

2/3/2011 11:06:00 AM

difference offense

2/3/2011 11:18:36 AM

^^RW makes his own offense

2/3/2011 4:36:48 PM

TOB interview here on charlotte made it seem like NCSU is moving on without him. TOB will take him back, but Glennon I starting. I really got the feeling like the RW days are over.

2/3/2011 4:58:23 PM

TOB just said if Russell were to come back, he would be behind Glennon on the depth chart

don't recall him saying that last season

I could be wrong though

2/3/2011 5:03:54 PM

Reminds me of the Rodgers/Favre deal

Can't make up you mind? Fuck you, we got a perfectly capable guy ready to step up

2/3/2011 5:06:02 PM

TOB agrees with me on this issue

2/3/2011 5:14:28 PM

and I with both of you ^

2/3/2011 5:58:45 PM

its time...

2/3/2011 6:38:34 PM

COME BACK TO ME SWEET PRINCE

2/4/2011 11:38:42 AM

iirc, Mike Glennon won the throwing competition at some big high school all-star event like the college one on espn right now.

Except Favre didn't have a future to worry about, and was getting paid a ton of money by the team...

I like Glennon, hes probably already in the all time top 4 NC State QB list

If RW actually comes back, no way RW doesn't start. This is cold war rhetoric.

Yes, I hate Glennon. That's exactly what that is Jibbles

[Edited on February 5, 2011 at 6:25 PM. Reason : Rivers, Gabriel, Kramer, Barnette]

2/5/2011 6:24:53 PM

I'd put Montgomery ahead of Kramer and Wilson ahead of both of them

2/5/2011 7:09:25 PM

I like all that

2/5/2011 7:16:27 PM

my brother saw russell get out of a new mercedes hatchback at grandslam and talked to him for a while. he thanked him for being a great representative of the university and being such a role model.
he didn't bring up whether he is coming back or not b/c i'm sure he gets tired of it and probably wouldn't have answered it anyway.
he said russell was a class act, something we all knew.

2/5/2011 7:34:03 PM

somebody needs to 'inception' wilson into needing to come back.


anyway, it's an awesome position to be in. it's like having to choose between michael vick and aaron rodgers.

2/5/2011 11:01:11 PM

wtf is a "mercedes hatchback"? ^^

i think of this when i hear the word "hatchback"


[Edited on February 5, 2011 at 11:09 PM. Reason : ]

yeah it was a mercedes suv with a hatchback

2/6/2011 9:55:36 AM

Looks like O'Brien might b3e gone after this year. So no wonder he wants to give it a shot with Glennon.

And me. It was you, me, and I forget who else were the only 3 saying this months ago and everything thought we were haters. Seems TOB agrees with us, it's time to move on.

2/7/2011 2:15:09 PM

If anything I would see him leaving for retirement, but that's about it.

2/7/2011 2:21:25 PM

according to a reliable source, TOB is leaving to be Russell Wilson's life coach. He is being replaced by Bill Cowher. Julius Hodge will be an assistant, teaching all the youngins how to be awesome.

2/7/2011 7:07:55 PM

^Sirs, I give you, your 'reliable source'!

2/7/2011 8:00:06 PM

^^ Wrong. RW is quitting all sports and becoming TOBs life coach.

I am sure he never gets sick of this

2/7/2011 9:35:17 PM

Saw him in the new ride. Stared me down while I was stopped at the light at lineberry and trailwood. He drove by me and felt my soul being chilled by his icy gaze.
