Lingard Named Player of The Game

So you don't think Deejay is actually reading and seeing the field better as a RB right now? I love Homer and want him to get back to what he was last year and even better but I think he would be the first to admit he needs to play with better patience and vision. He has been running up the back of lineman a lot lately. I understand the OL needs to block better no matter who is in the game I just think Homer isn't reading it very well and anticipating secondary lanes at this point compared to Deejay.
 
Lorenzo Lingard needs to return Kick Returns as well but 3rd Team RB is a great spot for him at the moment.

Hopefully Burns get's the 4th spot and Trayone Gray stays permanently at FB.

Exactly. And we need to stop it with the Greentree All-Americans. I like Deejay as much as anyone, but how is he getting more carries than Homer? Was there some undisclosed off-season violation that is keeping Homer off the field?

I think that Dallas actually shows more upside-- better vision and power than Homer.

Makings of an elite player in my opinion.

Not to mention I believe Homer coughed up the rock against SSU.

Can’t be elite with that speed but he can Still be a versatile weapon for our offense
 
Burns should be in the mix as well, because his combination of speed and physicality are elite. He will break a long run at some point this season and should emerge as a regular contributor. You can't teach or ignore what he did.

Just go to your first sentence.

BASED ON WHAT? Not on the LSU performance, and I discount anything from SSU.

Homer has earned his spot, and if Deejay outperforms Homer in games against actual competition, then we can revisit this discussion.

I don't give a **** about Greentree. Greentree has also given us starting QB Malik Rosier.

If you think that you have figured out superior "reading and seeing the field" skills off of 8 carries against LSU, then you are just BS'ing everyone. The best run of the game was by Homer, and he only got 6 other runs.

Again, I don't give a **** about SSU. Anyone can "read and see the field" against those scrubs.

And when our ridiculous offensive playcalling keeps slamming running backs into the line, it really doesn't matter who "reads and sees the field" well, they are only getting 2-3 yards on those stupid repetitive plays anyhow.

He doesn't lack game speed, see the run he housed against Wisconsin.

You raise me that and I’ll show you him being hawked down by Savannah state and he didn’t even look particularly fast vs Wisconsin on that run

I'll call. Housing a ball against Wisconsin is a much more meaningful indicator of game speed then whatever happens against Savannah State.

Is he getting any kick return reps? DJ Dallas is slow for a KR.

I turned to the guys sitting behind me in Dallas and said that Jeff Thomas should have been our punt returner over Deejay Dallas. Six days later, look what happened.

How have guys invented this "vision" superpower for Deejay Dallas? List out all of the plays that Deejay has turned into something magical because of his super-vision superpower.

And that's the problem I see. Homer earned his spot? How? By last seasons showing? He coughed it up on his first carry against SSU and then didn't really do anything the rest of the game. We are starting to build the kind of competition at that position again where if you cough the ball up like he did then you lose reps.

The reason he got 6 runs is because we were down double digits before you blinked. You said you were at the game, guess you were watching that with your eyes closed too.

Playcalling being blamed for a running back not anticipating blocking lanes. Newsflash this isn't Madden where plays run exactly as scripted. You have to anticipate and react, especially at running back.

You ain’t been watching the games lol. Deejay has been better in running the ball and pass protection. Homer fumbled against SSU
