It's going to be glorious to behold just how good Will and Calhoun can be when they can jump routes knowing they have safety help over the top...

Our fans do this to our guys way too often. Cleveland can't tackle or cover bc of that 1 KY play. Derrick Milton was a fumbling machine even though he only fumbled twice in his career. We just remember those fumbles so well. Joe Morrow still gets called stone hands even though he didn't drop 1 pass last year. We have a strange problem with not letting things that guys do when they're young here go.

Don't forget how bad Coman is at safety, getting beat all year and always blowing his coverage.

Agree with most of that except for the Milton part...our coaching staff obviously felt the same way as the fan base. Derrick wasn't really pushed that hard to return...you should know that better than anybody coach.

people are about to start catching on that Mullen REALLY does start Sr's with lesser talent over younger guys with more talent if it's reasonably close because those Sr's have paid their dues. We have more actual talent on the OL this year than last

Our coaches not pushing him to return doesn't mean he didn't fumble but twice in a game.

He fumbled way more than twice. We were just fortunate enough to only have two recovered by opponents. And it wasn't about his in-game fumbles as much as that he was doing it repeatedly in practice. If he wasn't Butterfingers, he wouldn't have been behind J-Rob and pushed out the door to create room. C'mon, Dan, just admit what all of us already know.
