Lingard in the Portal

This is all Manny's fault. I knew it after the first game. He lost the locker room with the two transfers that came in and got playing time over kids that were recruited here like Cager and Hightower. Pope was balling but Tate was still getting more snaps. Chit crazy

I agree that he runs high and lacks wiggle. You could see that from his high school highlights. I mentioned it and got negged to oblivion on the recruiting board.

But what frustrates me is that you can't find a role for a guy with his speed? Even situationally?

I feel you, he’s a 4.3 guy when he’s 100%. But it’s hardly shocking the staff couldn’t find a role for him based on how essentially only KJ was correctly.

Campbell says that LL just wanted an OPPORTUNITY. Chit, Mother F'in Manny and Enos gave Mr. Romeo Lady's Man a few snaps. So why not Lingard!? After all, what harm would it have done. Oh. That's right. Manny ALREADY KNEW LL was going to bolt Thee Gables.

We dont have any idea what's going on inside the locker room. So both sides are just speculating...

He was injured lost speed and strength and couldnt get leverage blocking opponents. Dallas, Harris and Burns all very capable blockers. The injury plagued him this year. You can be all world, but if you cant pick up pass protection , and your speed isnt back yet to full bore, chances are you will lose spot to others of like talent.

Harris, Burns, Chaney and Rooster will be good to go. Good luck to Lingard, injuries suck.

If we truly go more up tempo and spread whatever weaknesses on oline can be covered up. You look at what Clemson did with Etienne the other night and it was a thing of beauty. Was getting nothing on runs so they got him in space with quick throws. Why can't we get an OC that can adapt like that and still use his weapons effectively?

Obviously that covers up the level of the issue to an extent. It's crazy that yall just now realizing that when it's been pointed out that's why cmr called the plays he called(to the extent of all the quick ineffective passes and bubble screens)plenty of other issues with that but I digress. Honestly the problem is bigger now.

Dallas and Homer played over Lingard because they were better players. When Lingard signed, everyone assumed he would take carries from those two right away. That didn't happen because of his limitations.

Richt had Todd Gurley and still found a way to get Sony Michel and Nick Chubb meaningful touches as soon as they stepped on campus. RB is not an experience position. There is some pass pro to learn, but you can either run or you can't. The fact that Lingard didn't get any meaningful touches under Richt should tell you all you need to know.

Then he got hurt. If he was healthy, he would've been ahead of Burns. Harris would have probably beaten him out. Sucks to lose him but there's no conspiracy here.

Thus why Lingard is in the portal.

Looks like it was true but I can see that it started off shaky. I’m more troubled by the clickbait threadstarters and other assorted trolls.

bro..the young man recovered off injury..no spring ball, no fall ball..no contact..so he just supposed to jump everybody who been practicing and repping? Cause fans want to see a 5star..the logic is ludicrous to me

Sorry, but go back and try again because your porst is idiotic. Why is it fair? How about because those are manny’s own fcuking words that he chosed to trot out as excuses for **** poor play. If i’m using his description back on him, so be it.

If you can’t see his role in that, and even how he tries to use it as an excuse while he makes it worse, then you’te blind.

Oh, and you seem to have bought into his disease concept, anyhow, since you asked whether lingard was part of the cultural disease manny talks about. Nice spinning.

Typically when expletives fly and people start making ad hominem attacks you are losing the argument. Was hoping to have some rational discourse with you but I will move on.
