So my cousin lives in Miami, his son coaches ball around the area. The highlights I am posting are his first year starting,,, running the same offense Georgia is using now, a pro style passing attack with multi-sets. Sorry TW there is no way based on this he sits behind anyone at UW unless he's injured.Regardless of what we want to believe, Fickell won't put Van Dyke in the lineup unless he feels he's the guy that can move the team. He's still learning, and that can be put to rest when they hit camp this fall. Being ready for the NFL doesn't necessarily make a person a perfect fit in college.
Mettauer never planned on playing this year. He's going to be a red-shirt. That was pretty much guaranteed coming in. Right now, they're working on his mechanics, and adjustment to the speed of the college game. It should be there after a year doing more observing than anything else. Crue will be #3. Mettauer would move up to #3 if any one of the three goes down.
That said, I doubt Locke would have a problem sitting, because he would know he's a shoe in next year, as a junior, for the job. That is, if Mettauer doesn't show up in spring ball looking like the next Russ Wilson.
I watched both Locke and Mettauer play high school ball, and both of them are darned good. Both are also quite adept at staying on their feet. So, it's going to be interesting seeing where these two take it in another year.
Personally, I would like to see Van Dyke win the job, because of his experience. I think Locke needs to work on his footwork, and release. He's sometimes a tad slow with the release because his feet are moving when they shouldn't be. From the clips I've seen so far from spring ball, he's already improved that area of his game quite a bit. He doesn't tap dance like he did last year. Of course that's practice, and definitely not the same as live action in a game. Sometimes, in games, a person reverts to bad habits because they don't have time to think about mechanics.
