DANNY EMBICK OUT FOR THE SEASON

Rusty Smith is from Jacksonville. 6'4 about 200lbs. Tall lanky kid who have a decent arm. He had a decent senior year but his high school(Sandalwood) don't play in an eye opening district.

DANNY EMBICK OUT FOR THE SEASON

::)I've been reading the posts for last couple of days, and frankly there are way too many negatives being thrown at our players. First Embick did the best job possible, given the young team that we are. So he didn't make some critical plays and made some mistakes along the way. If we were an experienced team, we could overcome some of the mistakes and put the Owls in the win column…and all would be forgotten. This team will only get better with time, and when we attain the Sun-Belt Title (within 2 Years) with Clayton, Souverian, or Smith at QB…we need to remember that Embick was part of this young team's foundation. ;)

I agree BigDog. I think Embick is getting a raw deal. Granted, he didn't necessarily live up to expectations or maybe expectations were too high to begin with. I like what Embick did throughout most of the season. However, I also think that having Clayton under center will provide a nice change. Sometimes it isn't that a particular QB plays bad, sometimes it is just the case that a change of styles can make the whole team play better and have a better chance of winning. I am not saying that this is the case however, when a team is in a rut, it is sometimes necessary to mix things up. I think had Danny stayed healthy, a change still would have been in order just to see if a change of QB would make a change in the team. Overall, Danny did a decent job with the hand he was dealt.

If Danny played the same way and FAU were 5-3, people would say that he did everything well and didn't lose any games for FAU. In some scenarious that works, a QB doesn't need to play great, just don't lose the game for the team. Danny didn't lose any games for FAU, he played decent and the team lost. Enough rambling, those are my thoughts. GO OWLS!!!

From what I've read on here there are only a couple people saying anything bad about Embick (or as the commentators like to call him Embrick ;D )
He's one of the main reasons we have any points at all in the games he's played. He's done extremely well given the experience level of the team surrounding him.

I'm one of those people saying "bad" things about Embick I suppose. All I said was that he was a bit of a disappointment in my opinion. Maybe it was because of the good start to the year he got off to that my standards were too high. I did also say that his #1 wr and #1 te disappointed me too, so I'm sure that didn't help his cause.

I'm not expecting Sean Clayton to do much better, but we need to move on and the experience he will gain in these last two weeks will help him immensely. I don't know why Schnelly abandoned his second quarter switcheroo this year, in a year our backups badly needed snaps. I know Danny kept us in games, but once the season got to that point of no return (the MTSU game IMHO), Schnelly should have thrown Clayton in the games more often than he did.

Oh and Danny did lose the ULM game for us btw.

I feel badly for Danny. It's a shame that he won't be able to play in the final two games. I keep thinking back to the game against Monroe, when he was getting pounded on every play, but hung in there. He even had to get stitches at halftime.

It is good that Clayton and Soverain will get some important game experience, but I hope that things don't fall apart completely. Coach said that "simplicity" will be the nature of the gameplan on offense.

I hope the team can win these last two games. I was really shocked that the pass defense broke down against Troy.

GO OWLS! BEAT NORTH TEXAS!

I've watched Danny Embick for 4 years. He's a class act all the way.I'd like to see his escapism and tough scrambling style in the pros. He's got the goods.Threads the needle across field as well as anyone. Then there is another young man, excellent player, from my high school, Sebring,Casey "Sure hands"MCGahee. I wish Danny many stellar future days in sports as do his other mountaineer buddies, certain relatives of mine..from Sebring ..faufan Good Luck!!Thanks for the special memories!!

I know it's late and after the fact, but I wonder what the outcome of the game at FIU would have been if Embick had been able to play. I think the offense would have done much better. I think there definitely would have been less interceptions. What does everyone think?

I'm sure there would not have been 4 INTs for touchdowns. I wasn't there of course so I don't know how the rest of the game went. FAU still might have lost with Embick but not so lop-sided.

FAU - THE REAL SLEEPING GIANT
