is lyle alive? im convinced theyre using the Adidas models in uniforms for both trader and lyle

fletcher has been much improved (looks faster and seems to be in better shape too). hes been really good.

You can see where on a lot of those plays a faster, more elusive back could break it. Fletcher obviously gets you yards a smaller back can't but I really hope Lyle gets back at full speed.

**** there was some really nice holes there for Fletcher and love the counter and outside zone added. Worked very well.

 

[90scane]

Can you imagine running Lyle on those outside zone and counters? Dude will break some of those for 20-80yards.

As long as he sees the field for this next game, I’m ok with him having sat since ND. Don’t need him (would loved to have had him). But this is likely our biggest test of the season and will probably be our last prime time game until the ACCCG. This is our chance to give the viewers the eyeball test on why we should be ranked so high while ESPN touts every SEC team playing one another during conference play.

If we don’t see Lyle and Trader against FSU, my guess is we may not see them much.

I think you’re mistaken about it being our last primetime game. Especially if we win, remember Miami draws eyeballs, there’s no way if they have the chance they’re not going to put an undefeated Miami on TV.
The power of the hate watch!

If Louisville keeps winning, our match-up with them will no doubt be prime time, as it will be a top 20 showdown.

They don't run Lyle enough outside...too much inside.

To be fair, they didn’t run outside much with any back. Pringle is another kid that could be dangerous in those runs.

Yes, would likely mean the injuries are more severe than has been let on.

FWIW I like Lyle, but I don't know why some think he's a better RB than Fletch or Brown.

Different running back. Maybe not better but it’s nice to have the option of different styles. For example, let’s say we play a team that has the DT’s to stack up our inside runs, but isn’t as good at setting the edge. Then we would benefit from an RB who can get to the edge in a hurry, and Lyle (and Pringle) are likely the RB’s to do that.

Exactly... I've been so confused the last two seasons with fans hating or knocking any of the RB's over each other... just enjoy what each of them bring.... we got two power horses and two shiftier dudes... they all bring great stuff to the table... on one play Lyle might try to juke the LB, then the next play the LB think fletchers gonna juke, and nope.. just got ran over.... Wear and Tear!!!! (no Diddy)....

Mario said after week 1 he had a minor injury but Mario speaking about injuries could have been he lost a finger, tore an acl, or just pulled a hammy.

If you assumed 5 staffed to anonymously fill out our 5 best players before the season started. Lyle would have been on the list

Been saying this for a while.

You're going to take this running game and inject a healthy Jordan Lyle into it very soon.

Sheesh.

What a difference a mustache has made on some of these veteran players
