Jordan Lyle - what's the story?

[Ksoze8]

Guy has as good of vision as Helen Keller

No one was saying this last year when he had big plays. He will go to SMU next season and have 150 on us!

Seeing his snaps when he's been on the field do you really feel this thread is necessary? Who should he take snaps from?

I'd think Lyle could still take snaps from CWH.

The coaches thought process (bold below) is what I'd love to hear your thoughts on. That's what I'm trying to make sense of.

To Recap:
- Lyle doesn't look good in the first 5 games he plays

- But he's the starter in his 6th Game (Syracuse). So the coaches still think Lyle's the best RB on the team (except Fletcher), right?

- Lyle has 7 bad carries vs Syracuse - which look the same as his previous 5 games.

So in 1 week - the coaches went from "Lyle's good enough to be our starter" to "Lyle's not even good enough to get garbage time carries" (since CWH got 7 carries 1 game after Syracuse, but Lyle got 0)?

He looked better last year. I still think his injury is part of this.

 

[OldhamA]

He has terrible vision for a running back. That’s the reason he’s not playing.

Haaaaave you watched Fletcher play RB?

Haaaaave you watched Fletcher play RB?

Both Fletch and Lyle have terrible vision, but Fletcher can sometimes bulldoze through the defense for 3-5 yards. Lyle cannot. Fletch is also much better in pass protection and is slightly better as a receiver out of the backfield.

He's been on the injury report, out, for the last few weeks.

Hadn’t seen that. Thanks for the info.

the SMU pipeline is close to being dry, Lashlee been gone for over 4 years now

 

[SIBCanes]

He is not very good.

Really then why was he the starting RB against Notre Dame. He got hurt, and never got right. He is a very good running back. It is a shame if he leaves.

Pringle passed him. End of story.

If Pringle gets hurts then what??

 

[Combo]

If Pringle gets hurts then what??

Exactly. I really like Pringle, but we need another top guy and I'm not sure Fletcher, Lyle, or Brown is it. And at least one of those 3 will be gone.

 

[561caneforever]

If Pringle gets hurts then what??

I have no issue if Lyle wants to stay around as RB 3 or RB 4. His NIL would need to be reduced to reflect his place in line.

 

[NicKane]

Haaaaave you watched Fletcher play RB?

I can tell you this, Fletcher’s vision is a **** of a lot better than Lyes, which is why he’s playing. They’ve tried to play Lyle, and he’s pretty much made himself unplayable.

 

[CIS_troll_killa]

Lyle isn’t 100%.

 

[DMoney]

Pringle won that battle and earned his spot on top of the depth chart.

I still think Lyle will end up as a good player, whether here or elsewhere.

Game 9 Syracuse Depth Chart - Lyle, Brown, Pringle, CWH
Game 10 NC St Depth Chart - Pringle, Brown, CWH, Lyle


@DMoney - Do you think CWH also beat out Lyle?

If not, then why do you think Lyle went from RB1 to RB4 in 1 week?

Pringle has been by far the most effective RB in this offense to actually produce points. When we just sit there and run up the A gap, Fletcher has done well and about as much as you can ask for. But the issue is that shouldn't be what we intend on doing and choosing to have that type of RB getting 150 carries is just crazy. We basically have 3 Fullbacks on this offense.

 

[Schuylkill County Cane]

Has no vision & the true freshman took his lunch from him

 

[GirthQuake]

Idk but I'm sure he'll rush for over 1000 with Rhett Lashlee.

You guys really overrate lashlee. Same people menstruating when Chris Johnson went there and still did nothing.

 

[UMercury21]

when you run into the *** of a 370 6'8'' person everytime you get the ball instead of hitting the hole you get benched and forgotten.

get him some glasses and vision and he might be serviceable.
