He. Is. Not. A. Starter.Lol patchan wants to Be a cane obviously by coming back for his 6th year i think he should be on a special teams captain and be on all the special teams to give him snaps and then on D certain packages.... i don’t mind him starting as long as we rotating about 4-5 DEs i can’t wait to see if Phillips is that dude or not.
I get it, he's been here forever & is Cane legacy all that good stuff, but if yall ever wanna see this team win there comes a point when feel good stories & consolation prizes aren't the main factor for Playing time.
There are more talented players that need reps & can be impactful players, it's a waste of time try to recreate the Rudy movie every year with some player that maxed out & hit his ceiling just because it makes fans feel all warm & fuzzy inside.
At contending programs he doesn't see the field, it's a no brainer that Phillips should play more than him, otherwise what's the point of even having a player of his caliber on our team if he's just gonna sit on the bench behind a 6th year Senior with 2 sacks for his career?
I know yall love the under dog storybook endings, but Jesus Christ man put the talent on the field & let them maturate into their potential. Rousseau was sitting on the bench behind lesser talented players too until he got the opportunity to show that he's literally one of the best Pass rushers in the nation, coming into the season he was "unproven" too.
It's nothing personal to Patchan as a person, but it's beyond self evident that he's not better than the younger guys.
