Ask Your Week 9 Mail Bag ?s Here

1. Why isn’t my guy Robert Burns, playing more? Is he hurt? Did he not regain his pre-injury form? He’s been in for a few carries here and there and has flashed with his power back running style. Is there something he needs to improve upon? I know everyone’s always fascinated with the next best thing, and Knighton and Chaney have talent, but Burns is a stud that can wear down a defense?

2. If applicable, what are your top three (3) favorite OLD school dance / hip hop songs from the following (or something else during that same era):
1 Rappers Delight - Sugarhill Gang.
2 Kurtis Blow - the Breaks.
3 Digital Underground - The Humpty Dance
4 Ohio Players - Fire
5 Rob Base and DJ EZ. rock - It takes two
6 Naughty by Natire - o.p.p.
7 Lakeside - Fantastic Voyage
8 Midnight Star - No parking on the dance floor
9 Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five

3. Is the QB “pump fake” something that is not used that much these days? I believe it was Peyton Manning that had this uncanny ability to move defenders with subtle fakes of throwing the ball. Haven’t focused on whether King does it (and granted he would first need to have the protection to do it) but in addition to moving defenders and given that King is not in the taller range of QBs it seems like some of his throws that get batted down may not be if he’s able to fake a little more.

4. What are your thoughts on assistant coach Rob Likens? I watched a recent post practice interview of him. He seems to be very knowledgeable and has a lot of experience. Also seemed to be quite energetic and “amped up” in some of his mannerisms and responses to certain questions. Not saying there’s anything wrong with that; heck it’s probably what we need. Just curious as to your thoughts on him.

Thanks.

Very nice questions, friend. Respect.

 

[Scrape into the C Gap]

Is it fair game to compare some of our young players to some of the Hurricane greats or is doing so a big no no? For instance, can we compare Don Chaney to Willis or are we just trying to conjure ghosts from the past?
