Jordan Lyle is not Hurt

[Memnon]

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

That's about what he should get.

Giving him more than 15 carries would likely result in a loss.

I view him as an elite role player. Not every team has a 230-pound back who can get 5.7 yards a pop and roll up first downs while also being a plus in protection.

If we used him like a 25-carry guy, the lack of elusiveness and patience becomes more of an issue. The way he’s being used now is the perfect role for him on a championship offense.

Nahh bro you’re crazy. All Homer could do was run in a straight line. Deejay has been one of my favorite recent canes and he was a stud here no doubt. But neither of them are even close to Walton when it comes to pure talent imo. Btw I love both Homer and Deejay

All three were great backs. The 50 yard TD run that Walton had called back for a stupid holding call on the other side of the play against FSU in 2016 might be one of the best runs I’ve ever seen

Both Fletcher and Lyle are super young. I know Fletcher has a season already under his belt and is playing a ton this season. But he did lose an entire offseason to injury. I think it's premature to guess how either develops over the next year or two. They'll make an exceptional combo next season regardless.

Lyle and Fletcher next year will be Sonic and Knuckles.

I think both can be better next season and the OL has room for improvement as well.

 

[Bunker Mentality]

Will not second-guess the coaches on rotation but I believe Lyle would help with slow starts & the luls we have offensively. Would love to see Lyle as starter, Fletcher in middle relief, & Martinez as closer.

Lyle had a great game. But the discourse on Martinez play is crazy, he’s been clutch all year, powerful running, blitz pick up’s and in the passing game which I didn’t expect coming into this season

He needs to play more in key spots, not less. Martinez that is.

What’s the discourse on Martinez? Seems like ppl are just saying Lyle needs more carries

It’s been on this board all season tbh

Agree so 60-80 yards a game is what he is. He’s a good number 2 back.

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?

If you're a dawg, you're not worried about Fletcher.

Id say 2025

Lyle - 16+
Fletcher - 8-12
Cj/Allen - 8-12

We're currently averaging 33 carries per game.
