Burns probably on travel team now

"Travel Team". Reminds me of Pony League tournament baseball or something. If things keep progressing for Burnsie maybe he'll get an invite to play in the American Legion league!

according to Richt. Sounds like Dallas may be a possibility as a 3rd back, but looks primarily like Homer and Choc for now (if your read between the lines).

We have TWO away games left, North Carolina and Pitt. Let's not worry about this, almost every remaining game is a home game.

Miami's two toughest games left on the their schedule are both at home- Va Tech and mighty Notre Dame. hUh.

You do realize that the original poster was commenting on the TRAVEL team, not the "tough game" team...

Rick seems like he's spooked by Burns' unreliability from a physical standpoint. He probably doesn't want to waste reps on him and then have him fall apart on the first hit. Might be better off just prepping Dallas as the 3rd back and use Burns as an emergency RB if we lose another guy.

Boourns might be humpty dumpty in pads, but we'll never know if he's any good unless they give him a shot.

Brown was quoted recently as saying that he was 100% healthy. If not now, when?

My sentiments exactly. You burnt a scholly on the kid despite the limited track record. Let’s see what he can do.

Put me in the "Give Burns a Chance" camp. From what I hear his measurables are very good. He just has a hard time staying healthy. ***** it. He's soaking up a scholly. If he's got durability issues, they're going to show up sooner than later. Better to find that out in a 3rd string mop up role than later down the line when we may actually have to lean on somebody for quality reps should Homer get dinged up in a close game.
 
If Choc over Burns is a disgrace, then Robert Knowles over Amari Carter is an abomination

There were ball security concerns before he got hurt. Then he missed a lot of practice so understanding what he needs to do is an issue. Dallas is a smart kid and a former quarterback. And before anybody says Dallas has never played running back. Newsflash--Trayvon McMillian for Virginia Tech was a 3-year starting quarterback at Hylton High School. Smart kid, good athlete. Dallas will be fine and contribute.

Akers was a QB last year and he looked **** good against us...
