From what I've seen of Enos in the past, I expect some power run game options, so... pure speculation, really. If we run a ton of zone plays, I expect to see some issues with Gaynor getting there.

That's inaccurate. Some people, not just D$ (or Peter Ariz), hyped him up. Perhaps partly based on these type of Camp reports/comments (see attached). If you'd like, you can look through a good amount of comments on old threads backing up the hype and excitement. Now, that you may not have...

D$ and I are supposed to do a Pod together soon (was supposed to be last night, but things didn't align), so this is a subject we'll surely get into. To be clear, I think I'm a relatively poor judge of OL without watching them at length. I didn't play OL and I think it's one of those positions...

I was trying to give you the last word 8 posts ago. This was a pointless debate to me. If the bolded portion had been the first response to my comment about Gaynor getting too much initial hype, I'd have nodded and moved along without even noticing.

I actually really like and am entertained by the bold predictions and "hot takes" from D$. It brings an awesome element to the board and the debates are healthy. The in-person version of those are hilariously entertaining. But, come on. There's no point in digging in on this 2017 Gaynor issue...

You're doing some of your typical moves. Picking out very short sentences in broader posts/points and arguing points I didn't make. You didn't hype Gaynor as an All-American as a True Frosh, true. You hyped him as someone who'd be far more effective than he was and would establish himself as a...

You should better understand the debate before you start making things up and putting words into people's mouths. No one is making up the hype some gave to Gaynor as a true Frosh. No one is using the word "hype" in a vague way. In 2017, Gaynor was "hyped" as someone who'd come in and establish...

What? My entire point, then and now, was the hype of Gaynor establishing himelf as a starter in 2017 should have been walked back a little. I didn't find it reasonable that a true Frosh with some clear physical limitations at the time would come in and kick *** the way he was being talked about...

Ok, sure, we'll keep going. Listen, your hype on Gaynor was off in 2017. He struggled. He lost his "job" to a weak player (Mahoney) based on his own play as a true freshman playing perhaps in a system that didn't suit him. Not because the coaches were picking on him. It's on the film. His one...

They played him. They just played him at an outside WR spot where he mostly looked invisible.

No, he wasn't. Plainly. Because he wasn't starting and was actually struggling, which was totally normal for a true Frosh. But, this now fails to add anything useful to the board. So, I'll refrain from wasting any more time.

Jesus, D. This feels like you digging in when you could have just said "yeah, overhyped at the time (2017)." Manny picked an older version of Gaynor in 2019 over a player we all know was a subpar interior lineman (Mahoney). Whatever happened after that 2017 season is outside of the scope of...

He lost the "6th lineman job" to Mahoney. It wasn't all some coach bias, either. Tell us he wasn't a great fit for some of their blocking schemes or he was too young. All that is fine. But, in obvious spots, Gaynor visibly struggled on the field in 2017. Again, that was normal for a True Frosh...

Ha. Come on, D. Gaynor wasn't close to what was hyped going into 2017. Citing a random start without the struggle he later experienced isn't going to strengthen the argument. He was clearly outplayed by Mahoney that season, which is scary having now seen 2018. I get the RS thing and the wild...

Said it back when he was being overly hyped (at one point some said he'd start as a True Frosh) and repeating it now. I rarely trust the "intangible" and opinion-based comments ("he's nasty!", "X coach is pumped about him") and rely more on how attributes are likely to carry over to the field...
