QB update
Yeah whatever, when does Keller become our starter
Offensive coordinator Shawn Watson said repetitions between quarterbacks Sam Keller and Joe Ganz are split “just about 50-50.”
The exception, he said, is if coaches want to see one quarterback in a particular situation.
“We try to slide it back and forth,” Watson said. “We try to look at what we’re repping and what we want to see them rep.”
Watson reported no news in the competition, other than to say Keller and Ganz are pushing each other and that the quarterback situation is good.
Keller said he’s commanded the offense well; he said he’s at 70 percent completion in practice and having few mental lapses.
The focus for both quarterbacks, Keller said, has been getting the offense in the right situation at the line of scrimmage.
“That’s what we’ve been doing a lot of,” Keller said, “reacting to what we see on defense and getting the team in the right checks.”
As for Ganz? He said he's relaxed.
“Most people don’t think I’m going to win this job,” he said. “I’m really kind of the underdog. So I don’t feel a lot of pressure. I mean, I think Sam would have more pressure than I would.
“I’m relaxed. I know all of the plays. I know the whole offense. I’ve had three years to be nervous. Now it’s time for me to have fun and go play football.”
Yeah whatever, when does Keller become our starter
