Hendon Hooker

[Wonky]

Threw for 349 yards and rushed for another 112 last night. I really miss seeing the big run plays from Levis this year. Hoping we will see him get loose more with C-Rod back. Yes I know O-line is a big part of it too. Levis is a true dual threat quarterback but we haven’t seen it so far this season. I hope he can show some of that going into the meat of the schedule. I know Scang wants to protect him but can’t be too conservative or we ain’t beating teams like UT.

When you have the talent at WR that we have, you don’t need him running the ball. Not to mention we can’t afford to have him taking unnecessary hits though he’s getting sacked 3-5 times a game. We are on the razors edge when it comes to our quarterbacks. We go from 1st round pick to Joe the Plumber in terms of depth. Getting Rodriquez back will hopefully balance things out. O line knows what they need to do..

We’ve got the receivers that are good enough to help protect Levis. Honestly I don’t want to see him taking more hits. We lose Levis it’s all over. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Hooker injured at some point this year. He’s taken some really big blows.

Heard Hooker banged his shoulder vs UF. If their D continues giving up 600+ yards offense to non-offensive teams like they did yesterday they'll really need him.

he sure has come a long way in that system, not gonna lie, real concerned about stopping him.

 

[Bluegrass79]

He did that at home where it's nice and comfy and fun . let's see his ass do all that in the swamp. 💯💯👁️👁️

Hooker is a great QB, and a leader. He was in obvious pain went out and put it on the line, guys respond to that, will play thier hearts out for that kind of guy

Hooker is either 25 or 26 yrs old. The guy has been playing college football forever. Think UT is trying to lock him down to a long term contract.

I still haven’t finished watching the UT game but he came off the field gingerly hanging his shoulder I believe in the 3Q. I’m assuming he finished the game?

Am I making it up in my head that levis didn't really start getting designed Q runs till about this point in the season last season?

 

[PhattyJ4UK]

Levis is probably 10x more likely to have an injury that leads to missing games/season getting blindly blasted in the pocket than he is running down the field and seeing the contact coming.

 

[howercat]

Let's hope crod can help give him more time on the play action, force the line backers to honor the run.

John Lee Hooker >>>>> Hendon Hooker

They reported on the off season that he had added even more weight in the weight room (at the time they were talking like a positive “can you believe this guy!!”) But I think that additional bulk has made him lose a step. Last season he was escaping pass rush and beating them to the edge to turn the corner for 5-10 yards. This season he’s getting chased down from behind and can’t turn the edge.

 

[YaketySax]

UTs OC Alex Golesh will be a hot name this off-season

 

[Johnfarrel]

If you can win without needing him to run don't run him. That has been the case so far. If he needs to run to win he will run.

Listening to scang earlier this year, I don't think he will be calling any QB runs anytime soon!

He did. Came out next series and threw a bomb TD. Wincing all the way. As per usual. UT has an ancient, annoying good player.
