That's a great point. Let's look at the positive plays he made:Quote:

(0:46 - 4th) Brandon Holloway run for 8 yds to the SAlab 43
If I am not mistaking I remember hearing that Dion Sanders had more carries for lost then carries for gain but still one of the all time rushing leaders in the Nfl.Quote:

And, while I was a little surprised by this, he wiffed or went the wrong direction on a couple of blitz pickups too.Quote:

Ok. But Dan gave him 2 carries & he did well so why not give him more? Why just 2? If he doesn't trust him, & he does well when he gets carries, shouldn't that trust go up & he get more carries. Dan's just being a stubborn 17ing ass. I hope everyone of them told him to 17 off in the meeting
Uh ... Mr. Lambert sir ... are you joking on this one?Quote:

If a player struggles with a certain area don't continue to try to hammer it into them, help them out.
Wasn't pass protection a big part of jrob's early exit from the nfl?Quote:

So if the game stopped there, he'd be 5 carries for 73, but 4 were garbage.
Again though, I doubt he had more negative carries than positive. He did have a ton of no gain and negative carries though
The Sanders stat is he has the NFL record for most negative yards. Like 1,100. This does not take into consideration yards for no gain. Just negative yards.
No idea if this stat is true, but I found this on Barry...

Says Barry has the all time nfl record for negative carries...
336 att -952 yards
Barry had 3,062 carries; so if above stat is true, Barry had more positive carries than negative assuming he didn't have more than 1,195 carries for no gain.
Yet we continue to play a tailback in holloway that can't block even if he does know his assignment because he weighs 120 pounds and isn't physically strong enough to block sec lbs and dls...Quote:

Mullen's biggest weakness is he's clueless on how to use a RB. Clueless. The best RB he's had got him to #1 in Josh Robinson. On campus 4 years and got 10 good games out of him.
I wouldn't doubt it, but the NFL also has the luxury of picking up a free agent at anytime that can do specific assignments that the team needs done.Quote:

I suspected something along these lines. I like Mr. Lambert. He don't say much, comes on here to grumble a couple of sentences when he thinks we're ALL 17'd up, then say 17 y'all and goes away for a while LOL.Quote:

Well after 4 pg of did/didn't, no one but one gave a shot at answering the original thread ? Was there a revolt in the RB mtg rm?
he also had a horrible OL most of the time. he usually had to break two tackles just to gain positive yards.Quote:

Thats what pisses a lot of folks off. In that game, both teams had freshmen playing all over the field. On ******* team, they wouldn't see the field until they are juniors or seniors no matter how good they are. And i believe that effects recruiting as much as anything. Heck, Dak wouldn't have seen the field if it wasn't for Russell getting injured. DAN PLAY THE GUYS WITH THE MOST TALENT. If they mess up, its a learning experience. I can live with that.
Really? Nobody sees the field until their Jr or Sr year under Mullen? Exaggerating a good bitQuote:

Maybe Dan could move him to a cushy office job. Keep his friend around, but off the fieldQuote:
