Let’s pay him more $ guys!
We need more selfish pussies who can’t execute blitz pickup!
If this is true, I hope he never wears a cane uniform. The team made an historic run in the playoffs and they were worried about playing time?
Also your sample size is literally 2x for Marty brown. Also how many of his carries were on 3rd and short in a condensed box ? That alone reduces your avg vs Pringle who never got any due to his size.Statistics don’t tell the entire story. Marty is complete. Pringle isn’t.
Exhibit BExhibit a when we played OSU was Bo Jackson getting truck sticker by Wes into sayin. Still hope we retain Pringle but this is all so dumb. Pass blocking 1000% matters. Fletcher was playing great and this is big boys football. Totally agree here D
No actually I don't know that, cause he's not a 'big boy'Its not the main thing when evaluating a RB but its still important. Some of it can be taught. Some of it is effort. We gave Pringle burn against Taint and he missed blocks and his one carry went down easy on an arm tackle. You know **** well if he was just serviceable as a blocker and broke a run he would have gotten more burn. Bottom line is he got a chance in that game and the moment looked too big for him. He's a true freshman so that is to be expected but its wild that him and his people don’t see that and are just gonna take their ball and go home.
Run game looked **** good without him against actual teams with a pulse in the playoffs so what’s your point?**** that's crazy you can trust a guy and he CAN ACTUALLY DELIVER SUPERIOR PRODUCTION in important games to actually get us to the playoffs, and another RB can fumble in those high leverage situations, but the mere possibility of a RB having to make a 1 on 1 pass pro block eliminates him from being able to receive any snaps.... Lmao.
So youre telling me he can't go on the field for a 1st down drive get a carry, and on a pass play be sent out for a route instead of being in to block? Youre telling me we have to have Useless *** Bauman running a route instead of in to block and are unable to send Pringle out for a route? **** that's crazy bud.
Pringle is the person who really opened up our run game mid to late in the season. He had a far larger hand of Getting us to the playoffs than Brown did. And we couldn't find him any playoff snaps to the point where he portals out?
Smfh
unfortunately we don't throw to the rb... don't use them for screens eitherSo guys can't come in rotationally at all then huh. Lmao. Y'all sound so dumb about this. Indiana literally didn't even like try to pressure us 90% of the time. And you know what was working on Running against them? Outside runs.
Pringle was BY FAR a better runner than Brown, and that should be obvious to anyone who watches football. So because Pringle is put it it means your automatically gonna give up a sack of you run a pass play? What if the RB goes out for a route? That acceptable?
exactlynot going to pretend I'm happy about it but if we can keep lyle and he gets back in shape, and we have brown/fletch
this is a non issue for 2026 at least
Have you ever talked to these kids? Lol.. There are posters quoting family saying why he not playing, believe me if you have family gassing your head up and they dont know ball they dont understand why you can get carries against some mid ACC teams then when playoffs come its time for your upperclassmen to show out..I remember the reason he was in was because Fletcher was hurt and we were playing ****** teams. Same thing with Lyle last year. Produce against lower level teams. And nothing wrong with that but to be entitled to think you should be starting or getting as many carries as Fletcher????????????? Come on. Good luck to the kid. Grass isnt always greener.
Lol they are packages we HAVE put in lolNo one is saying taking lots of snaps from Fletch! He needs to rest anyway at some point.
Like I said. How about taking out #87 (not Mentioning his name anymore) and playing Pringle with Fletcher, Toney, etc.
There are packages you can put together.
Do they emphasize it for punts?! Charmar tag team with 87?!I thought this dumb narrative died during the playoffs.
There is a reason coaches emphasize pass blocking for backs. It can win or lose games. Running ability is a separator, but there needs to be a level of trust to play high-leverage snaps.
Exhibit B
We have I think 3 more days of this.. fun consolation prize for cfp playoffs right?Wheb is last day for players to enter portal. Is Lyle gone for sure? Any word on Trader yet?
We don’t use tight ends in the passing game and like you said, we don’t use our running backs in the passing game for screens, etc.unfortunately we don't throw to the rb... don't use them for screens either
