Moorehead stayed it was an accountability issue and he understood
Accountability from Aeris. That's somewhat hard to believe.
Twice this year. He's lost his starting job, and that's a tough pill to swallowQuote:

I love all our running backs Kylin, aeris, nick, d lee
Will we have a 1000 yard rushing running back this year? Because we should out of this group, one would think. I can’t figure it out. But it’s all pissing me off when I think about our losses.
I?m already on record as saying I completely disagree with how Jo handles the practice crap and player rotations of the skill guys. Aries has never been a problem. Jo not letting him touch the damn field most of the season is bullshit. Losing your starting job is one thing. Not touching the field is stupid. Of course, the RBs don?t get carries anyway, so it?s a moot point I guess. Not rotating players is going to be tough in the SEC. Just too damn physical.
How do you know Aeris was never a problem? How do you know Mullen didn't play favorites and let him get away with stuff?Quote:

He's had two issues that caused him to be benched. The other option is that Moorhead doesn't like him and is doing it out of spite. That seems less likely.Quote:

It's hard to make sense of the reduced carries for a Senior RB that is coming off a 1,000 yard rushing season last year.
But I think the minimal wear and tear on his body means he will do very well at the combine in the spring and have a chance to be on a NFL roster.
I have no idea what the issue is, but I would have to believe there is something going on. No way a coach would come out publicly and lie about something like this. Williams and anybody else would call him out in a second!
I'm sure he's a good guy, but whether it is on the field or off, he's clearly not getting his shit handled. Because this is the second time that Moorhead has suspended him, and he's not doing it for no reason.Quote:

Per Rec. avg Hill 8.8 vs Aries 12.9. So I don't see where Hill is that much better, performance wise, than Aries. And Aries is just over half the touches. I think we all see Hill's potential, but he's not putting up better numbers.Quote:

It's gonna happen. I'd just tell Kylin to go to the flat on obvious passing situations as a hot read. He can't pick up bama LBs.Quote:

Most years the only way you can beat Bama is with a load of explosive plays. But I'm not sure we have the personnel and I also believe we can run on this Bama D. We do have to be able to pass it some too ... but Joe do like to air it out a good bit. We'll see how that turns out.Quote:

Don't get lost on playing favorites. All humans have favorites.. Even your Mom, and mine.Quote:

Why you mind sharing more about this? I would really like to know what is going on in Joes mind right now.Quote:

Hill has great hands that's been seen. Those stats are good. But giving those yards back by missing pass rusher every game is the issue. Hill is explosive, Aries is consistent.Quote:
