Our OL needs help from the RBs so if you don't know your assignment then you're getting Jarren killed (more than normal).

Putting Lo in and him getting the ball every time and not using play action will work for a half of football at most.

What were Cam and DJ doing when Jarren was getting sacked 10 times against Florida? What about when we made CMU's DL look like Khalil Mack and the Bears? Spare me this BS like our RBs have actually done anything to help protect Jarren.

Maybe Lingard isn't as good as the CIS experts think he is?

People tried to say the same thing about pope and the other receivers etc yet (obviously vs Bethune) but he looked more explosive than any receiver we have seen playing for us all year at any point and that includes Jeff Thomas even against the same competition. It’s not always that. We won’t know how good he is if he doesn’t get to play.

it’s funny to me how it appears sometimes they give marginal players( an obvious safety and de) all of this playing time and chances but those chances come few and far between the more talented edge rushers at end, backup receivers and now Lingard at rb. At some point you got to put them out there like you do everybody else

The comments on Lo and Zion are both terrifying. This is cfb not the pros. Not playing your best player for pass blocking is retarded. If you run a systems too complex for your best playmakers to learn then you’re a dumb ***. Zion not even being challenged? He’s losing me more and more each day

Regarding the offensive line. Basically both Richt and good ol' boy Stacey fU##@d Berry in the ***. Albeit metaphorically speaking.

For instance, only six players seeing action and two are true freshmen and a RS-freshmen ( Campbell. ).

So please LIGHTEN up the young freshmen at LT. Because I guarantee you he's TRYING his best!!!! Yeah, yeah, yeah. You and your Hurricane brothers probably are saying.... Well, he ain't trying hard enough. SO WHAT!

It's comments like these that reveal just sheer ignorance. How is lingard our "best player"? Because he was a 5 star recruit? The dude has barely seen the field at the college level (due to no fault of his own) and yet all of a sudden he is the best player on our team?!? Gtfo with that nonsense. Nobody knows how good Lo will be, especially coming off a major knee injury. This is real life football, not playstation. I, like everyone I'm sure, think he has tremendous potential and hope he WILL BE a star. But as it stands now, not only is Lo not our "best player", he isnt even our best running back, or even arguably our second best running back. Jesus christ with the agendas, man.

And you're honestly sitting here saying it's a non-issue if an RB isnt good at blocking? Especially on a team that's allowed the opposing D to get pressure on our QB almost 50% of every drop back? What?!?

Some of you guys have absolutely lost all connection with reality and common sense.

They better play him, enough with the excuses. Diaz managing this and his comments in recent weeks about it smells very amateur like. I like What the other rbs have done but they aren’t perfect on every play or anyone on offense for that matter, enough to the point where he can’t get in the game.

Robert knowles don’t never know what to do or just mess up but he still gets in every game. Child please...

I'm telling you Brock, no more than 7-8 snaps combined for Lingard & Pope.

The offensive staff does not like playing a bunch of different guys.

I think its funny all the clamoring for Lingard, but if he misses a blitz P/U and gets the QB hurt or turns the ball over for a TD everyone's attitude would change. Acting like he's being held back is a joke.

Jarren getting tattooed regardless vs CENTRAL MICHIGAN are the other rbs doing what they are supposed to do in pass protection?

Exactly!

I don't want a talented RB on the field unless he can pass protect! It's not like you could have in on a running play & hand him the ball & throw him a screen out of the backfield...

If you can't pass protect you don't play!
