OC Thomas Brown discusses RB rotation after FAMU

[Hurracanes]

“Primarily going into each game, I will probably play the top two guys for a majority of the reps,” Brown said. “Both of those guys have shown to be equally as productive on the field, but I think Gus demands the opportunity to be able to be on the field and I’m going to some things from a game plan standpoint to try to get him involved without having to take somebody else off the field.”

Most interesting part of the interview.

I hate to be "that guy" but...

I've still never seen anything from Gus Edwards that would lead me to believe he can be a productive back against the top half of our schedule. Dude plays way smaller than his size and his burst is average at best. Even as a blocker, I dont ever remember being "wowed" by him...ever.

I agree. I wish we can play him as a Fullback instead. Use him like Davenport but even he isn't in Najeh's level.

Whats going on in here? My Gus radar goin off..I'm literally about to fly to San Francisco to kick SFBay in the nuts for talking about my dude.. OUR RB coach just told us Gus is too good to keep off the field..And yes Gus can catch does no body remember the 30 yard wheel route he caught down the field on a jump ball against Virginia in 14'??

I remember that play vividly, and Edwards looked really natural grabbing that ball above his head. Seriously, showed good ball skills...

All this talk about rotating tail backs and using them in different formations simultaneously is making me very excited.
Let's see what Richt comes up with.
