Kaoz 15 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 It has been quite a while since we had our QB1/QB2 issue figured out this early. This team almost feels complete to me. And I wasn't expecting that to happen at all. But, I sure didn't expect the 2013 Team / Season to be the juggernaut it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
around4ever 4,139 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Interesting that Gus brings up depth at RB. We have had depth but he has rarely used the 2 and almost never the 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We finally feel like we can TRUST him. dude is killing me with TRUST issues. Let these young guys play before they are Juniors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't make the same mistake over and over mind you, but they cannot be comfortable if they are playing scared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jskilgro 23 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Harold Joiner, you say? Interesting. He could be a difference-maker, but didn’t expect to hear his name till 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kd4au 1,145 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I don't know what changed Gus from the Gus that played Dyer in 2010 as a true freshman to the Gus that won't play anyone other than the #1 back , but something must have, maybe it was Roc Thomas.

PowerOfDixieland 3,223 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 "It's good right now that we have options," he said. "You can't have enough depth at running back in this league." There are moments when I think somebody needs to punch Gus in the mouth. Did he believe the same last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These statements concern me that we will see more of the same old Gus. At other times, I really think he’s making adjustments and becoming a better coach. Stop playing with my emotions Gus! Just be consistently great already!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its fair this time for him to say it. They probably have a good idea of what the rotation will be, but the reality is that Martin is the only one of the top 4 RBs with college experience. Who knows how anyone reacts when the lights go on? Even Dyer didn't get significant carries until the third game in 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There hasn't been a freshman like Dyer since then. I also think we'd have seen a lot of 1-2 punch at RB last year, except that one of them was always either injured or in the doghouse. The one game when both were healthy and happy, both were used extensively. Why wasn't K-mart used more? I don't know except to think that he wasn't ready to be Mike Dyer.

People also forget Dyer’s size. He had the body of a senior as a freshman & that’s one reason he was so reliable. He also held onto the rock. He was like 5’8 220 & built somewhat similar to Maurice Jones-Drew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAG 33,853 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Just put the best players in despite size, youth , etc and give them a reason for you to not trust them. Seems like the best strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the best strategy. Not trying to be disagreeable here but....That strategy means they fumble/drop a pass/miss a tackle and then get taken out of the game. That's closing the barn door after the cows got out. How many such failures result in a lost game? Finding out who is reliable is what practice is for. Big games are too late for experimentation.
