Jordan Lyle is not Hurt

@bshaw28 Your services are needed, sir.

Oh man, now we're deep in it.

Should has nothing to do with it at the end of the day. He will be RB2. He just better not be RB1. Him being RB2 is much more reasonable.

What if Lyle goes down? This is why I'm a big proponent of bringing a portal RB. If we do bring a RB then I think it would push Fletcher down the depth chart. I don't think he would stick around.

Walton alone in this video has like 10 runs Homer can never even attempt. What attribute does Homer have over Walton other than speed?

Speed and power. Plus he produced in big time games. Has a much better yards per carry average too. Let me call my rb expert in here @bshaw28

Better uses of Miney than portal RB for us imo

It’ll be nice to have a fast guy with a bruiser vs two plodding bruisers next year. Lyle could help vs Cuse and SMU this year. Both will try to out score Miami.

And we should go run heavy and keep their offenses on the bench

 

[fraggle]

Martinez is what he was, is and will be but Lyle will get better and better via playing time.

 

[Memnon]

Lyle is likely the best RB on the team next year.

Although I suspect they'll continue to try force-feed the Fletcher narrative & make him RB1.

It'll be interesting to see if Ajay Allen & CJJr stick around.

 

[Dwinstitles]

Yo this dudes a beast

 

[k9cane]

Canes loaded at RB. Martinez & Fletcher beat people up & Lyle-Allen can take advantage late.

if we ever have another blowout, we need the 'veer package', with all four backs and take Cam out...

 

[Gobuxcanes]

Lyle is perfect for the Stretch play we used to use with Portis, Edge etc.

 

[canetomm]

NFL back. Fletch and Martinez are good, but not great. Lyle can be great.

All of the juice and burst (Pause) in this thread, @Confidence1000

Yeah these dudes stay outta line in nis board

I wanted Miami to bring in 2 RBs in this upcoming class. There's a chance Ajay Allen hits the portal and u can't blame him with him only having 2 years left (hope he stays) and Martinez hitting the draft. Were down 2 RBs with only Girard Pringle coming in. We gotta get 1 from the portal and here's the thing what good RB is coming to Miami knowing we already have Lyle and Fletcher here?

I’d sign up for Canes Connection if it meant we ran stretch plays or counters.

I hate disagreeing with the Legend, but this is one where we just see it very differently.

Fletcher is a really good football player. There's no narrative. He averages 5.7 YPC, dominates in short-yardage, blocks, and batters the opponent. He's a big piece of our #1 offense, and he should be. He's not a franchise back like Edge or McGahee, but I don't see many people making those comps.

I agree Lyle is the best runner, and has more upside overall. Next year, my guess is that Martinez's carries go to Lyle and he forms a great 1-2 punch with Fletcher. I also wouldn't be surprised if Girard Pringle plays a change-of-pace role early in his career (similar to Lyle this season).

 

[dycane]

Walton had more long runs called back because of penalty than any other college running back in history. He, like Moss, should’ve had a nice NFL career.

I just think he's an average back, a 500+yds per season type back, not a bellcow that you can build around or make the focal point of your Offensive run game.

He's only had two 100yd games in his career, most games he's going to give you 50-60yds. I don't remember a back that produced at such a medium level that received as much praise as he does.

I would guess he probably gets drafted between rounds 5-7 by the time he declares, but if you read this board you'd think he's Jonathan Taylor or something.

I read "Girard Pringle" as "Grand Pringle" and now I really want that to be my nickname.

I agree with you but to be fair, when has he gotten a games worth of carries. We rotate so **** much he gets like 8-15
