Get him in there on some 3rd down packages and let him blitz from different areas. That way his assignment is clear and simple

We don't seem to thrive at scheming guys up. Bobby can't be worse at LB than Richard at CB.

Bobby's thing is he just doesn't understand gap integrity and assignment football. Kids SOOOOO physically talented. But has to get his mentals straightened out ASAP.

With the resources we have these days, why don’t they just assign a grad assistant to him full time? I’m kidding… partially. But the way NASA addresses “mental” is repetition. Feels like he should be going through play walkthroughs 247 until he gets it right. He’s too talented to waste.

I think difference is we have less depth at CB. I agree Richards has not been good but we legit are just missing bodies.

Bobby I assume is playing Will so he is competing with Wes, Chase Smith, Cam Pruit, Alderman, **** maybe even Hayes, unsure where he is lining up. Popo comes in for Mike so I was not including him. but agreed that scheming guys up to utilize specific skill sets needs improvement.

Everyone uses CJ as this example. But I'm not positive he's the best of comps. Where's CJ excels is in straight line speed. He's a North & South runner. Brashard to me is a clone of Robbie Washington. Where he's in and out of his cuts and excels to top ends in a heartbeat. They both struggle on the physical side of the game. I really wish we'd find some kind of way to get both Washington's more involved in game days.

If they were physical man oh man and a bit more explosive that be next level ****

Last thing you ever want to do to a linebacker is let it be known He's nothing but a blitzer when he's on the field. All that does is give away what we work so hard to disguise. It makes you zero sense to have him on the field as a decoy either. In whose place should he do that?

Big difference between the two. Bobby doesn't play because we have ample bodies at the position and he's behind Hayes who as of now is 4th String. As much as I'd love to get Bobby on the field I don't think it should be in place of hayes, who I think has the most upside in the room. If Bobby and Robbie stay with us I can see both of them having significant roles next season. Just comes down to if they're old girl finally gets them to leave. Richard's plays for one , because of his physicality against the run and on plays downhill. He's not bad on plays downhill that develop in front of him. It's everything else he sucks at. But the only reason he's on the field so often is because we need warm bodies at the position.

I just can’t believe there was a debate about if we should get him the ball more last year. He had our longest run, and did well when he was at wr too, seemed like a good solution to bad qb play

We legit were in death battle against a **** 3-9 UVA team down to OT and Brashard stood on sideline dam near whole game while the offense couldnt do ****..

I was just giving an example of a simple assignment you can give him in situational football. I’m not saying do it all the time but I think as a wrinkle here and there you could definitely pull it off. Kiko and Wes could use a breather every now and then

That's our coaches for you, carries were given to Jaylin, Chaney. Next good back we will lose will be AJ.

Ajay leaves only if Martinez stays (which isnt going to happen). There is no reason for Ajay to leave when that spot is open for him next year..right next to Fletcher. Now if you want to tell me CJJ is leaving then fair point. But Ajay would be crazy to leave.

IDK man... Lyle was first guy off the bench for UF. He also got snaps against Duke when Ajay didnt. IDk what the deal is with Ajay, must be pass protection because every time he is in the game he runs hard and looks good and we have heard about him breaking long runs on greentree for 2 years in a row but cant seem to get snaps. I think he can get feature carriers somewhere else where next year he will be splitting backup carries with Lyle. I also would not rule out another portal dip for another bigger RB like martinez. With CJ, CWH, and Pringle coming in we have plenty of smaller fast guys.

Just makes me laugh when people bring up players from other teams like B. Smith or the RB from Louisville.

We have a great stable of RBs. Be happy with what we have.

Well hey man..if Ajay hasnt figured out how to pass protect after 2 years in the program then hes gotta go. We cant have our RB getting our QB killed back there. Fletcher and Martinez though are on another level when it comes to pass protection so maybe thats an unfair bar to set for him.

All AJ has to see; is the success our x RB is having at SMU:

That was only me guessing because otherwise I dont know why Lyle would be getting snaps over him. I have heard of him doing a few knucklehead things but nothing to the level of "he has a character problem" so I really am at a loss. I agree Fletch and Martinez are very very good but just looking at next year I see him splitting reps with Lyle and if Lyle is already starting to pull away I dont see how Allen stays. For the record I want him to.

What is he a redshirt sophmore? It does not benefit college RBs to play 5 years, he has to put out tape somewhere.
