I have a tendency to think that I should allow Glennon to start fresh in my mind this season.  Thats a tough demand, however because of all the things I remember going wrong…that somehow I have blamed him for.  We don’t lose many games overall, but except for 2007 I blame Glennon for most of them.  Boston College last year really wasn’t his fault, LSU just out matched and out played us, and Kansas just out prepared and out coached us.  So I can’t blame any losses on Glennon from last year, but his first pass of the season was a pick.  And, if Tyrod wasn’t started instead of him, he still would be at that mediocre pick throwing level.

 Will Sean Glennon step up to new heights as a r-Senior?  He certainly played well the second half of last season.  The coaches claim that neither Tyrod Taylor nor Glennon can separate themselves from each other and firmly claim a starting position.  Doesn’t this beg the question, if Glennon as a r-Senior can’t outplay a t-Sophomore doesn’t that mean he isn’t good enough?  Good thing its the coaches decision and not mine; I don’t know what I would do.

If history is speaking, would it mention Glennon’s melt down versus Georgia in 2006?  Would it mention his terrible performance against Georgia Tech earlier in the season, putting them up by three scores early?  How can I erase these memories of Glennon performing so badly?

I’d like to try, because it seems he’s come around to be a legitimate player.  I recall from the past though, football players telling me how pompous Glennon was.  Multiple inside sources claimed he acted like a total dick.  Well Sean, I’m erasing all of these bad memories; I’m forgetting how you responded to losing the starting job last season; I’m giving you a fresh start in my mind.

In the immortal words of SpitzerTailgate.com - “Sean Glennon….heres to hoping hes not a dbag anymore”

Only 18 more days until kickoff…here are some fancy Tyrod Taylor pics to hold you over.  If you know who to give the credits to, just post a comment and I’ll update it.

 The following interview was taken by Kyle Tucker over at his blog.  He’s been following the preseason practices closely and his blog posts are almost enough to quench the ache and desire for the football season to start.

 QB TYROD TAYLOR
 
ON HOW PRACTICE IS GOING THROUGH THREE DAYS: “It’s going good, progressing like I wanted to be.”
 
ON THE QB BATTLE: “Like I told you from the beginning, I’m in competition with myself, actually. I’m out here to be the best quarterback I can be and the best player at my position. I’m competing hard and so is he. It’ll be up to the coaches.”
 
ON GLENNON’S DEEP BALL TO TIGHT END GREG BOONE WEDNESDAY: “We’re moving Greg Boone around. We know he’s very elusive, and he can make plays. You really get watch film to get a feel for it. (Opponents) are going to be surprised.”
 
ON THE RUNNING BACKS: “They’re looking very fast. We just have to wait and see who’ll go in front of the others.”
 
ON THE FRESHMEN RECEIVERS: “A lot of those guys have stepped up. They’ve shined as a group. They’ve been impressing a lot of people. I don’t think a lot of people thought they could learn that quick, but they’ve been in there working with the veterans.”
 
NAMING THE BEST FRESHMAN: “I can’t call it. I want to praise all those guys. Boykin looks good, just as Dyrell Roberts, Xavier Boyce and Marcus Davis. And Randall Dunn, too.”
 
ON THE LEADER AMONG THE VETERAN WIDEOUTS: “Danny Coale is looking very smooth. Ike is looking more confident, and so is Zach Luckett. We feel comfortable with our receivers. Those guys are showing the coaches they can play and that they want the ball in their hands.”
