sounds like Capello has been really impressing - could be a good competition for starter next year.....er, or maybe next week.

He was pretty much flawless, too bad we didn't get to see him throw.

This blowout loss was primarily on the defense and special teams, although obviously we couldn't pass well either. If the defense kept us closer we could have kept working our ground game.

I don't think we have a QB controversy this year, but I would like to see Capello get more snaps. Tiller did not play well against UNI, I say whoever has the best practice week should be #2 week to week.

was impressed with Tiller's fakes in previous games. Capellos does a nice job also!

FWIW, which probably isn't much, Tiller was 50% on making the right read on the read option when he started which isn't very good at all.

Tiller was also injured which I think is likely the reason Capello is in, however, I think there will be a good competition for the QB spot.

the defense lost the game but it started with offense not getting it done on like 4 straight possessions if not more.

Capello only played because Tiller is injured. I wish I could share more information on that but I'm pretty sure the coaching staff doesn't want it out there. On a side note, Capello looked good for the limited time he was in there.

Yes, it is of the highest priority that we not let the opponent know that our not very good 2nd string QB is hurt. They'll never figure that out since he didn't play in this game.

Congrats on being a ****. Your posts really have nothing to offer, ever. Who knows if his injury is a 1 or 2 game thing, or if its more serious than that. Of course he is injured because he didn't play tonight, and didn't look good warming up last week, but perhaps it's more serious than that? That's right, you don't know, but I do. I'm sure the coaching staff doesn't care if the other teams know that he is injured, but I'm sure that the coaching staff does care if the other teams know how serious it is. Because of the uncertainty, it makes creating a game plan that much more difficult. But obviously none of this will get through your thick ******* skull.
