Moore (Mine): Pruitt, Lightfoot, Lyle (If he's 100%, I'm not giving up on him for 10 mostly poorly blocked carries last couple weeks), Trader/Moore/Upshaw (Someone who can beat their man besides Toney please), Schott

Less of, if I had to call it: Bauman, Fletcher, Bissainthe, Toure (I actually don't hate any of these players, they all have strengths, some of them even have a chance to play in the league, just think they are what they are…The defensive guys I have listed as wanting to see more of on passing downs/strong passing teams, and more so in place of Bissainthe/Toure on the field at the same time). The occasional breathers for our starting DE could do wonders and it's not like we don't have options.

Trying not to be that dude always screaming for someone to be benched, just going by what this team is lacking right now (explosive running and pass plays, offense in general, LBs struggling in space and coverage) and who has flashed (lightfoot and combined with the facts our stud Des may be wearing down)

Have to assume Upshaw and Schott are red shirting at this point.

I would agree they are on that path, but at this point with 6 games remaining and now a loss… Gotta be all hands on deck and we need to improve. But I agree that as of right now, they probably are.

Agree with a lot of this. A receiving TE would be nice, if Schott or whoever. Development of a 3rd WR, whoever it is. Not sure about less of Fletcher comment.

Think they can both still play in 2 more games but think we might need Upshaw, we need someone to step as the 3rd WR

I don't mind Mark Fletcher…There's just no vision or body control/balance there.. That's probably a borderline of these stances for me. I was skeptical of the Brown take and then hype in the offseason, but he's the best back on the team at the moment despite being the slowest.

Brown avg under 4 yards a carry.. if he the best we got, we in trouble.. throw the whole room away, fire the coach and start from scratch at how we identify talent.. we need to reestablish the standard of impact players at skill position.. u can turn a room around in one off-season..

te talent down if tulanw bauman housing all reps.. wr talent down if BYU journeyman wit 150 yard in 6 games can hog all reps and keep everyone on bench.. we need to reevaluate the entire skill acquisition process from top to bottom.. I need ballers
 
I’d like to see aggressive play calling and putting guys in positions to succeed.

Enough with throwing away downs running into the back of the center… RPOs with someone like lofton, carver or Schott to start attacking the edges and stop letting teams free fire into the A gaps

Like to see Moore with more 50-50 ball chances like the USF game…. Love Toney but he’s pulling double coverages and with a safety on top they aren’t gonna let him be the one to beat them deep.

Lyle in some zone blocking runs… this bully ball shove the back for another couple yards is cute for 3&1 or goal line but in the middle of the **** field?! Cmon man

Love to see some new blood at linebacker…. We need some athleticism if we’re gonna see experience guys get killed in coverage or miss tackles I’d rather see more athletic young players earning their stripes and learning for the betterment

I want to see the ball spread around more. Our first few games we were spreading it all over the field. Recently, we've been pigeon-holing the O by only targeting a few players. Why?
