This may be on account of the o-line blocking or it may have been the strategy of Miami defense. Dealing with the blitz will definitely effect his production like most QB's.<br /><br />I would not be surprised to see Maine send alot of people after Rettig. This will disrupt him but it will also give him opportunities to make big plays.<br /><br />Also, he is listed at 6' 3'' It appears more like 6 or 6' 1''. <br /><br />I think based on both Miami games that he is a good Quarterback and has more drive than say Foley, Halloran, or Camphouse to become professional. In terms of Boston College Flutie and Foley were the best.<br /><br />I always compare the Eagles of the 80's with Flutie and 90's under Coughlin to the Boston Celtics of the 80's. Epic teams with a ton of players that I related to. Unspoiled grinders who did their jobs well.Knuckleheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07847627726401491567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-35478020791581265502012-09-08T11:12:55.288-04:002012-09-08T11:12:55.288-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Knuckleheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07847627726401491567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-39265729395942771722012-09-07T19:52:28.592-04:002012-09-07T19:52:28.592-04:00Chase has been criticized since the day he started...Chase has been criticized since the day he started but people were forgetting that he started as a freshman and was thrown to the wolves quite early in his career. I saw some bright spots last year and I am convinced that now that he is a junior, he has chance to be one of BC's all-time greats.<br /><br />He threw for over 400 yards against Miami. This was not Kent State or Duke. Granted it is not the Miami of old, but it is still a decent football team. Chase Rettig had a better passing effort in a single game than Matt Ryan, both of the Hasselbecks, Brian St. Pierre and Paul Peterson!<br /><br />I firmly believe our QB is destined for greatness.<br />eaglebostonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17536194020385661646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-90756434217054054202012-09-07T18:09:23.895-04:002012-09-07T18:09:23.895-04:00It was a great game for Rettig.

Even Heather Dunce would have appreciated that. <br /><br />Whatever on might say about Miami's defense, we must acknowledge they are fast. But even despite the speed, Martin devised great routes, the WR ran them and CR delivered with a massive assist from the OL. Great stuff <br /><br />However, I think things really clicked in last year's Miami game. That added to his confidence this year. <br /><br />My only nagging concern is Rettig's deep ball. Seems to lack enough energy and thus floats. mod34bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18129365485893573618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-50641088560663085382012-09-07T17:25:32.600-04:002012-09-07T17:25:32.600-04:00My memory is not what is used to be, but I just do...My memory is not what is used to be, but I just don't remember seeing Rettig ever have the time to be comfortable going through his progressions in the pocket prior to the Miami game. Which is why he looked like a completely different guy to me -- no nervous happy feet, no frantic throws in the general direction of a receiver in double-coverage. Even his passes into tight coverage were in places where only his receiver could get to them (or no one). Yes, it's about Rettig maturing, but I think it's impossible to overstate what a difference the O-line play made in his decision-making and mechanics.mod10aeaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04009617224575563986noreply@blogger.com
