Florida State Spring Game: What To Watch

PrintSpring games like this really don't serve as great indicators of anything, so forming strong opinions after you watch the Florida State Spring Game Saturday would be unwise. Generally, I only take the feel of the game and look for fundamentals in looking at specific players or positions, but here are just a few things I'm going to be paying attention to this weekend. Watching whole units really doesn't make sense, as they will be out of sync due to players missing the game with injury.
This post brought to you by the Florida State Boosters. Here's a message from Michael Espada, your direct link for Seminole Boosters:
Hey guys, just wanted to introduce myself. I have been working with Tomahawk Nation to get the TN Booster & Ticket Information Page added into the site to help everyone with not only questions on season tickets but also questions about boosters. I work with all the offices involved in these processes so I can help you out with anything related to the boosters or tickets. If you want to get new season tickets in a great area, switch your old seats, alter your booster level, or have any question about the boosters, please get in touch with me. I have all of my contact information listed:

- 1 v. 1s: There aren't going to be a whole lot of times where a first-team player is matched up against the same, but there will be a few. Receiver Rodney Smith on corner Greg Reid should be a good one. Keep a close eye on center/guard Jacob Fahrenkrug against nose guard Anthony "Amp" McCloud. Guard Bryan Stork on Everett Dawkins will also be one to watch.
- New Starters: Florida State is breaking in six (or seven) new starters. Keep an eye on: the aforementioned Fahrenkrug and Stork, but also QB EJ Manuel, DE Cornellius "Tank" Carradine, DE Bjoern Werner, LB Vince Williams, LB Christian Jones, and (new position) S Lamarcus Joyner.
- Young Backups: Pay attention to linebacker Telvin Smith, DT's Darious Cummings & Cameron Erving, DE Dan Hicks, RB Devonta Freeman, WRs Kenny Shaw & Jared Haggins, and TE Will Tye.
- Defensive Movement: How does the defense move about? Last year was huge improvement, but still quite rough, given the fact that many upperclassmen had received almost zero coaching in a zone scheme through three years in the program. Look to see how players hedge with their zones, properly align using the hash, adjust to motion, etc.

No burn a safety in a spring game???
Or no burn in the regular season thus watch what he can do on special teams were he’ll contribute?

EJ
I want to see EJ completing 20-30 yard passes accurately against the zone. That will tell me a lot about his progression as a QB and what we can expect out of the passing game. Although he needs to be able to make all sorts of throws, I find 30 yard pass and catch in stride to be one of the separating throws between ok QBs and good QBs.
Not gonna be happening with the protection he’ll receive, and the downpour that will happen.

Jimbo knows all he needs to from practice
He doesn’t need a spring game to tell him anything.

but since we cant see the practices, he means how will WE know anything about EJ

so why bother having a spring game?
Why not tell us all to go screw ourselves?
Oh right, because they want money and we pay money based on how excited we are and we get excited by seeing football and not toss.
Yes?
He may have EJ throw a few deep for a couple of reasons, but the emphasis will be on what Jimbo thinks needs to be worked on. And with the patchwork o-line that EJ will have in front of him, consistent down field passing isn’t going to happen. I don’t think we’re going to learn anything about the offense whatsoever. But it will still be fun to watch the guys play.

You know its a good time for FSU
when the ol timers are talking trash prior to a flag football game. Gonna be a GREAT weekend
i told a coworker (an old school Michigan fan) they were talking smack on twitter
his first reaction was “arent they both retired former FSU stars? why would they be talking smack, especially in April?” i got to respond with “yes, but its because Pdub thinks he can take Prime in the spring game this weekend”
we both agreed that we dont know about Warrick, but you know Deion is probably in great shape. so when you put that together with Brad Johnson (hypercompetitive and still in great shape) it might look like a miniature NFL game with all FSU alumni going on there. how awesome is that?

I wouldn't put much
stock into that. The game was fairly relaxed last years even with all the names they had. There was a great recreation of a Warrick catch though.
Kyler Hall was invited.
If he shows, Peter Warrick will be relegated to screen passes direct snaps.
Side note: Mario Edwards Sr. is on the list. Wonder if he and his son will be in attendance.
Rodney vs Reid
THIS is the match-up I wanna see. Simply, because all the disparaging remarks I’ve had to listen to from (insert just about every fanbase from D-1 Colleges) about Reid being, “small, smallish, short, too short, tiny, not big enough, mini, not tall, not tall enough” to cover in the secondary. I wanna see how he handles himself and makes adjustments covering a guy like like Big 84.
As opposed to, say, #1 for USCe?

I just have a hard time getting up for the Spring game this year. We know a lot about this team, very little good can happen, it is going to rain, and there is chance of injury. Might be unwatchable.

I want to see the line of scrimmage
We talk about improvement in the off season, the Line on both sides need to step up. I realize the OL is probably a little make-shift with all the young guys playing, however I want to see the “fight in the dog”.
Saturday has only a 30% chance of storms with it clearing out by around 2pm
Maybe hntdeerliv4noles can chime in here…
well until hntdeerliv4noles makes an appearance,
this meteorology student will try his best. Things look pretty soggy for the early tailgaters.The front should pass between 2AM and 11AM with the best chance for severe weather coming in the early morning till about 8AM. Most of the rain and severe weather should be overnight so lingering showers/thunderstorms is what we will have to deal with. Everyone driving up from SoFla will see some rain on their trip up.
So your bratwurst may get a little damp if you plan to hang around outside Doak all day, but the game should be excellent.

I want to see #20 at safety
2- Should see if he keeps the stick and I know he has the speed.
3- Seeing the rb situation before the freak (Wilder) get on campus.
4- I would also like to see EJ do well but more importantly Tricket. People seem to forget that he was a stud qb coming out of hs. Not just a coaches kid who got a free ride.
i wouldnt call Trickett a stud, but he wasnt a slouch either
but either him or Secord need to get their act together, they have both looked very average (last spring game and the scrimmage). need to pick it up if either of them hopes to pick up the garbage time this year.

just curious
have you actually seen them throw this year? Or are you more basing off last year’s video of them? I know Trick was a Fr and Secord a Soph. then. I expect they have gotten better.
But remember, the 2nd and 3rd team OL is really more like 3rd string and a bunch of walk ons right now. I expect them to struggle heavily due to pressure, but I don’t think we can judge them fairly with what they’ll be playing with.

the OL criticism is fair
i watched the spring game live last year, and Secord looked ok, Trickett like an EE. i expected the passing numbers this scrimmage to be kinda bad, but not less than 35% for both of them, with a pick and no TDs. those arent inspiring numbers.
but no, since practices are closed, nobody (including me) has seen them throw since then, so i have to take the post practice comments with a grain of salt, as usual, and go on what i have actually seen. and they have both seemingly performed like they were battling for 3rd string instead of 2nd. i dont expect starters out of either of them, but i havent heard anything encouraging to make me believe there has been improvement since the last time anybody saw them play.

Dan Hicks
He’s gotten bigger and I heard he had 4-5 sacks in the second scrimmage. I know we’re pretty injured along the O-line but I still want to see him dominate whoever he goes up against. If he can show out I’ll be much more comftorable about our depth at the DE position.
the sacks don’t do anything for me, but he is 270ish now, and that is impressive.

I will give you Jenkins...
I DO think he’s a guy that opposing DC’s will have to go “Alright now…how do we keep this guy from getting to the QB…”
I do NOT feel that they’ll be sitting around going “Damn, man. How do we stop this Nigel Bradham/Christian Jones kid…”
Not yet, anyways.

I'm not arguing that they're dominant
but I do think that Jenkins is someone that DCs spend time gameplanning for.
now that is definitely true
but if you look up, the continuing argument was whether we would have a dominant DL (or even front 7). therein lies the confusion

Bradham
He might not of lived up to expectations, but the guy is solid has led our team in tackles the past two years and he has the ability to be downright nasty anytime. I think the LB depth chart on our team is just littered with talent and it will only push guys like 13.
FSU, home of the Bandit! Enough said!
So you believe he's lived up to the billing of a 5* LB this far into his career?
Formerly known as Randall W. Spetman
Sorry, Didn't mean to post that..Header didn't match the title, as I reread your post
In my opinion, a “dominant” guy is a guy that impacts a significant amount of plays in a game, and that an OC will have to scheme around.
I just don’t see that in Bradham. He’s a good, not great LB that very well could be dominant, but isn’t.
Formerly known as Randall W. Spetman
Have to consider
Bradham was under Chuck Amato and a super dysfunctional defense for his first two years though who’s coaching technique was simply “go get him”. While the performance hasnt matched what a 5* SHOULD be, he is head and shoulders better than other LBs who came in the same class.
Now Christian Jones, yes, I can see him making some noise in his second year here.
whoa whoa i wouldn't say CJ hasn't lived up to his hype, maybe luc but not CJ

by Dr.KennethNoisewater on Apr 14, 2011 5:12 PM EDT up reply actions
Yes.
The added depth will keep the 2-deep from wearing down late season. But, it’s basically the same guys that will get the majority of snaps. They will be better, sure. But, they got pushed around by the good O-lines 5-6 games into the season. I expect them to be better and deeper, but not dominant.
We may have the best group of corners in the country. Safety will get a big upgrade with Joyner (I believe) or one of the incumbents will have to improve considerably to keep him off the field. And I count pass rush (very good DE’s) as part of pass defense.
So, to sum it up….I expect the pass D to be better than run D.
Tyranny is tyranny. Let it come from where it may.

Our 2-deep last year was really all we used. Now we’re expecting Cummings, Erving, and 1 or 2 FR to step in with our two-deep from last year. It’s been widely accepted that the reason our D-line fell apart was because of a lack of depth. Now we have that depth. Maybe the passing D will be better but I think our Run D will be pretty damn good.
I don't really disagree with any of that
and really didn’t say anything to the contrary. I do, however, think they got pushed around by a couple good O-lines before season fatigue became a factor.

What excites me about him is that by his senior year he will be 285 and hopefully starting (or else he might be elsewhere) alongside another 285+ monster at LDE in Werner. Neither guy has elite speed our quickness but msn are we gonna push that pile.

i hope he never hits 285, hes just not built for that
270 is a nice weight, maybe up to 275 if its lean. but 285 takes away any quickness he has naturally and makes him average

Looking over the alumni list, a few things that jumped out...
Preston Parker is on the list, although he never graduated from FSU. I am really happy to see him back @ FSU and part of the Seminole tradition. He played with great intensity and took over a couple games when (IIRC) Antone was injured. Really happy to see him back t FSU mixing it up with his old teammates
No Laveranues Coles =/ Thought maybe he would bury the hatchet.

I remember when Parker played running back against Maryland for our Homecoming game one year (’06?). He won that game for us.

He was very bitter about his dismissal
I can’t blame him for that. He took the brunt of the punishment while Warrick basically got a slap on the wrist.
Coles got his revenge by training his ass off and having a very solid NFL career. Props to him for that. Meanwhile, Peter Warrick….

Trub had it coming
its not as though it was a first offense for him, so he pretty much made the decision for himself.
but i agree, he was clearly the better pro, so he should be over it.

Spring Game is an excellent indicator of how technically sound the new WRs will be. That’s what I’ll have my eye on. We already know that Kenny Shaw runs the best routes on the team but I want to see Haggins and Dent and Green as well.

I also want to see how well they play in traffic w/ quick slants, slip and bubble screens, and curls since we’ll be running a lot of 3 step drops.

define "good seat". nobody knows how full the place will be, should be open room everywhere but the 50's
I heard the parking lots open at 9 Am though (also free, no permits required).
Parking opens at 9AM and is free for all
People will be tailgating, there’s a concert, BBQ cookoff, the FSU circus is performing, and the football game starts at 4PM.
I would say being in the stadium an hour early would get you a decent seat. There really isn’t a bad seat in the house and with only ~50-60k fans there should be good seating for all.

I can't possibly explain how much I'm looking forward to being there.
I will someday see a real game there, but it is hard to fly to FL see a game when you have three girls (5, 3 and 8 months). Selling my wife on the idea of leaving her alone for a weekend so I can spend like $800 dollars is tough. It might be years before I get to see a game. Not only that, I’ll be lucky if my 3 daughters EVER get a chance to see Doak. Missing this opportunity is not an option. I have to leave in about 2 hours, sleep in Kansas City, drive to Burmingham Friday, then to Tally Saturday. It’ll be awesome.

Just because he knocks out an RB who is no larger than my grandmother, he is “the Enforcer” we desperately need at safety.
It’s been well documented on TN that Moody has some work to do, but posters on other sites don’t get the education benefit that the ones at TN do.

But didn't he end up running back that INT when he should have kneeled it?
I distinctly remember Jimbo yelling at him from the sidelines. I’ve been worried about his discipline since last year’s spring game when he laid a really hard hit (which was good) against his teammate (which was sort of bad) that should have been flagged for pass interference (which is what actually bothered me)
He did run it back when he should have kneeled
He dropped the probability of winning from like 99.9% to 99.8%.
I don’t remember him getting flagged for PI last season.
Can't get flagged if you're nowhere near the receiver
