Mullen can be such a shit...

[msstate7]

Guy from Greenville called in and asked about the RB situation. We do we run a 5'2 RB off tackle but have 5 more bigger RB's on the sideline.

Mullen was condescending in his answer. Instead of talking about the inside zone- which he knew damn well what the caller was talking about- he used that time to basically say we had 32 running plays. Which is really bullshit- we have about 5, but we block them different ways and run them right and left. You may call Inside zone Right and Inside zone Left 2 different plays- I just call them same play, other way. He also said "we dont have a play called 'off-tackle' in the playbook." Well no shit Dan Walsh, but 80% of the inside zone runs end up between the tackles. Running Holloway on the inside zone track time after time is moronic.

Then he talked about how we play 3 TB's. It was as if they all play the same amount.

Just being a condescending dick when the guy wanted an answer on why Holloway gets so many more carries than the other TB's

I'm really not sure what you want him to say to some random caller. Would you prefer that he say yeah, Holloway sucks? How about yeah I'm clueless? I really don't care what Dan says on his call in show... I just hope he goes back to shump after the 2nd half success shump had last week.

"Yes, I realize Holloway is very small. We have to run him on the inside zone some to keep defenses honest- but its obviously not his strong suit. We start him because IN MY OPINION- he gives us the best chance to win. Shump and Aeris rotate in- giving us 3 TB's that play. Holloway gets the bulk of the carries because he knows the offense better than anybody else. The younger guys just arent ready yet to perform the way our offense needs them to."

Thats a much better answer than being a condescending dick- wouldnt you agree?

That's also a better answer than they "have to earn carries on special teams".

Do 3* get an upgrade over the diamonds in the rough?
3 stars-1st class
2 stars-business class
1 star-economy

I do agree. You need to be his p/r consultant.

Which should automatically lead to the next question...."Why?" Why did Williams go the wrong way twice and whiff a block in the backfield in limited playing time after 3 years in the program? Can the younger guys get plowed over like a squishy turd under a dumptruck while pass blocking then follow that up by getting half a yard up the middle? There are 3 possible answers 1. A hard-headed head coach 2. A clueless position coach 3. Poor evaluation of talent when recruiting. I know we don't have a stable full of 5 stars but I highly doubt we're seeing what we're seeing because of #3.

Well that's part of the bad thing about the running backs. Shumpert, Aries, and Nick Gibson are all four star guys. I think Aeris just had a bad game. He has performed otherwise. Shumpert has looked better and we haven't seen Gibson yet.
