Jordan Lyle (is not hurt)

[Hstokes1447]

There seems to be a debate on this board that behind Martinez, there is not a single back on the roster, that is healthy, that can be a playmaker.

In my opinion Jordan Lyle will be the 2nd best RB on this roster and that’s including a healthy Mark Fletcher. As a senior, he ran for 1,376 and 21 TDs on 10.6 yards per carry, while catching 13 passes for 177 yards and 1 TD, against very good competition. Coming in at 6-0 205 he has more than enough size to handle physicality of this level of football.

In his senior highlights, you see a back with great vision, amazing balance, game breaking speed, and a physical running style who never goes down on first contact.https://www.hudl.com/video/3/15321847/657a65907bdd2a0bfcd4e9e9


Look at the balance




Runs the DB over then runs away from the rest of the team

Lyle is a beast

He looks ready to play in college from the black & white photo.

I think the debate is that we may not have a PROVEN option behind Martinez. We are hoping Lyle is ready but like all freshmen, you never really know until the lights come on

 

[miamimike305]

Sorry OP but I already called it that Lyle is better than Fletcher.

 

[FrancisSawyer]

Assuming Mark Fletcher is healthy(which is what I suspect), these are the types of problems you want to have. Then behind these 3, we have Allen who has a career ypc average of 5.0 and the lightning bug in all this thunder Chris Johnson. Can't wait for Fall Camp to begin.

2 words from the best coach in Cane history - Donnie Sol-
PASS PROTECTION?

But I was assuming this guy would be number 2 in line.

There seems to be a debate

No, there doesn't seem to be.

behind Martinez, there is not a single back on the roster, that is healthy, that can be a playmaker.

This is your statement. No one else says this.

It certainly does seem that there is a good chance Lyle far out plays the initial expectations. He looks like the type of back who will develop into a big strong physical runner with exceptional vision, contact balance and deceptive speed. There's a great NFL comp for what I'm thinking of but I can't quite pull it out of my brain right now. Suggestions welcome.

Coaches love Fletcher. He's just got to be healthy and a bit more consistent. I'd love to see CJJ at least have some package plays.

 

[KingB02]

We have plenty of options behind Martinez, but they’re just young. Chris Johnson has world class speed, probably the fastest player in the conference and Wheatley-Humphrey is cat quick and they both had comparable numbers to Lyle in HS.

 

[IndayArtHauz]

Fletcher is the second best back on the team. Yall are insane.

When can we start doing this with Pringle?

 

[dk72]

RB is definitely a position where a true freshman can come right in and excel. Usually the biggest concern with freshman RBs isn't how well they can run the ball, but how well they learn the blocking schemes and are able to pick up the blitz.

Im really gonna look at Dawson sideways if his only way to get playmakers the ball is that same west virginia pitch pass the destroyed clemson with in OB. This guy has to be more innovative, heck IDGAF if he out right steals plays (the BEST do it!) The dolphins are RIGHT DOWN the street and they just had achane run primarily on edge for NFL record yards per carry..

Get that speed in SPACE, I know he isnt a known commodity and more like watered down distant cousin of air raid tree but cotdam..

“ijs like what I’ve seen from Martinez but the unsigned 3* high school senior we have coming would eat behind this line too. tbh jit might be the best we hve if he had a fall camp”

 

[Memnon]

Crazy the way people have already written off CJJr.

 

[miamimike305]

Crazy the way people have already written off CJJr.

I haven't but the staff should've gave him opportunity last year vs FSU. We wouldn't won that game if CJJ was given more opportunity that game.

I think it's more how's he gonna be used gotta get the speed in space not running up the middle everytime he gets the ball wondering why he's averaging 3 ypc. It's the OC Dawson has the players. Gotta get em space would have liked to see it in the spring game. I hope he shows out whats crazy is I sit here thinking show I can get his 98 speed involved in ncaa football lol up to Dawson really

The Dolphins run an outside zone rushing attack. We run an inside zone.

I hear the best OCs say they play to their players strengths, You got a stick of dynamite you should want to get your players in space.. If our OC says we cant use X player because we are a inside zone attack, I might run on field..
