Thoughts on Lyle this week.

[RF-4CCane]

If healthy, he should get some snaps, if for no other reason than he needs real time reps, should god forbid, Fletcher or Marty miss a game or two down the stretch due to injury.

 

[3FW]

He should get snaps because we need him. He was the starter against Notre Dame for a reason. the kid is a very good RB, who can do some things the other two can't.

 

[AUcane]

We need him. By all accounts, he's good to go. As far as I know, it's not going to rain (weather was a factor in Mario holding him out of UF game). If he doesn't play a snap, then there's something else going on and I'd start keeping an eye on the portal given the 4 game rule. I expect him to play but still doubtful on JJT.

 

[RF-4CCane]

don't wanna be that guy, but would be 16-0 if we're going the distance

Ohio State-ND played 16 games last year because neither got a bye.

If we run the table, we will get a bye most likely and play 15 games.

 

[Calinative]

Yeah Ozempic is the new kid on the block. The “supplements” to pack on muscle and help with recovery, are pretty well known.

Interim Results from Ongoing Phase 2 COURAGE Trial Confirm Potential to Improve the Quality of Semaglutide (GLP-1 receptor agonist)-induced Weight Loss by Preserving Lean Mass | Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc.

Trial demonstrated that approximately 35% of semaglutide-induced weight loss was due to loss of lean mass Combining semaglutide with muscle-preserving antibodies protected lean mass – sparing approximately 50%-80% of the lean mass lost with semaglutide alone – while also increasing loss of fat mass

Hard to justify taking snaps away from Fletcher and Brown at this point.

I think he can spring big runs if he’s RB3 rn. Let the 2 big boys pound the rock and Lyles change of pace might be dangerous

If we run the table, we will get a bye most likely and play 15 games.

12 reg season games + ACC CG + 1st round bye into QF NY6 bowl + Semi-Finals + Natty = 16 games

You are correct. My mistake.

Finally. Muscle loss is not a healthy or useful form of weight loss. But if the weight loss can occur while keeping the muscle, all the better.

Of course, going back to the 1988 Olympics 100 meter sprint, Ben Johnson proved that Winstrol-V was also very effective for shedding a few pounds while increasing strength and muscle gains. By the time I enrolled at UM in 1989, everyone wanted Winstrol so they could stay lean and become more muscular.

I think he’s going to have a big game. He’s a maniacal worker and is dying to show what he can do.

I mean, Fletcher has looked pretty **** good, has he not?

Brown might be the biggest surprise on the whole team. Not only does he look like he belongs, he might be a Top half of the conference starter on any other team.

And Dawson, Merritt, and Mario looked at those 2 kids through summer and fall and said "Lyle is the best of the bunch". Let's not forget that. So I'm with most of you that Fletch and Brown have been awesome and they don't "deserve" to have their reps scaled back. But for one, they're getting too many touches as it is right now to last the whole year. And two, as good as they've been, the staff feels like they have an even better car in the garage they haven't let hit the track yet.

Good problem to have.

We also ran a lot more counter last game than we usually do, and that's where I think Lyle is best suited. Brown and Fletcher are awesome at those duo runs into the A-gap where we just push the pile and by the time anyone realizes it, we have 7 yards. I'm not saying Lyle can't do that, but I don't think that's his main skill. IMO it's contact balance, and speed. Let's let FSU watch 2+ years of duo into the A-gap and then pull two kids into the C-gap with Lyle at full tilt running behind them hitting the second and third level at throttle down.

Boner alert

 

[CreativeCane]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but other than bringing a different running element, isn't Lyle also the best pass blocker of the bunch? You know they'll come after Beck after the last two games, so he could be key in picking up any blitzers.

 

[Felonious Monk]

Play all 3 and go with whoever is playing the best, not complicated. You're all fired.

Fletcher might be the best pass-protecting RB in the entire country, but all three are good.

Bench Beck, run the wishbone with Lofton under center. Am I doing it right?

Longest run in UM history

Let Lyle tote that tater in the 2nd half a bit when theyre hurting and tired.

1000% on the money. Would love to see a wrinkle with pistol lyle, lofton, and fletcher
3-3-5 would be in ****

I don't know why folks are talking up Jojo.

Unfortunately, he can't stay healthy. He was injured for spring game. Then injured again close to season opener and barely played against ND. Then injured again. It's not his fault, but like Belichik says, best asset is availability. If he can't consistently stay healthy and practice, folks are going to pass him up, which I suspect has happened. I hope he proves me wrong, but I'm skeptical on him being a contributor this season at this point.

You guys need to read in between the lines from Mario’s comments about Jojo. It is a long season but this situation is very frustrating.
