"When you get people who are naturally gifted like that,
(6-5 WR Grimes) I think it makes it easier on my part,'' Franks said. "You know, just to put the ball up and let him go get it."
(as opposed to accurately delivering the ball)
Sometimes it's the QB that carries the team, and sometimes it's the team that has to try to carry a QB....

S Quincy Lenton 5-11 207 rsSo is injured
(torn ACL) out for the season.
Jus-damn! 
Some seem to think that this means that OLB/SS Amari Burney 6-1 222 takes his reps, but not me. I see Burney staying at OLB. The one I see is another Fr DB, Trey Dean III 6-3 194 - UA-AA
RB/DB Iverson Clement 5-11 202 Fr has volunteered to move over to help out in the secondary, partially due to the RB roster being so loaded for now. When Iverson was recruited, I thought that he might end up playing more than one position, because he's such a gifted all around athlete. Dan says that he's a RB and this is only temporary.
I like how Dan looks at the strings and depth issues. He said that he'd like the 1's to get about 45 plays in a game, and the 2's to get 35 plays in a game. That's not an old-school starter/backup mentality. Guys are playing for their 'reps' at practice and in the games, not to see who the starter is going to be, and that changes from day to day at practice, and from week to week in the games. He also never uses the term or the attitude, that some on the team are
'scrubs' instead of being active parts of the
TEAM. Everyone has to
'earn' their plays, so
'anyone' can
'earn' some plays in a game.
For another example, all of the receivers are getting reps at every wide receiver spot.
Versatility.
QB/Ath Nick Sproles 6-2 215 rsSo is also getting practice reps with the other 3 QB's.
There is no need to diss on Sproles, he's not just a scrub, he's a Gator WO QB.
HS Sr: 63.7% on his passes (144-226) for 2,006 yds, 15 TD's, plus 4 rushing TD's.

"Everybody looked good in 7 on 7 passing. Then all of a sudden you put pass rush, you put some more guys in some blitzes, you’re hot, you have to do some other things. Different story. When the Gators went to 11-on-11 later in practice, all 3 QB's struggled to complete passes and consistently move the offense. The one that should have the
'experience' advantage,,, doesn't.
IMO, Dan is a true '
players coach,' and he's my kind of guy, on and off the field.
