You say you would play Jenkins over Warren, though you've never even seen Jenkins play...youre admittedly going off of hearsay as to whom you would start at LT. Think about that. Now you're saying you would throw 2 true freshmen in at Safety, which Diaz says is the most crucial position on our defense?

Sorry man, but clearly if you were our coach, YOU would be the one playing all of the wrong people. Whether you wanna admit it or not, they know more than you about who needs to be starting.

We cant let a game against USM make us lose total faith in a coach that won 10 games last year. Especially when we likely played extremely vanilla. At least let Mullen play his chosen starters against a real team before telling him he needs to start a completely different, and unexperienced 11! Ha.

Not trying to be a dick, i promise....I just think it's silly for you to act like we should just throw Peters, McLaurin, Jenkins, Gray, etc in the game when you havent even seen them take one single snap of live action. You simply want them in there because "you heard they looked good". C'mon mane.
Only two days after you called me out about Coman? C'mon mane indeed.

But let's blindly trust Dan who played Perkins over Robinson.

I very rarely get caught up in the next big name. Jenkins is not a big name. Dixon was not either- and guess what? We don't have a FB right now on the roster. McLaurin wasn't a huge name. Bear wasn't a huge name at the time when I was singing his praises.

To be honest, I think and HOPE the coaches know more than me. I think the issue is they see a guy like Coman that works hard in practice and does everything right and they WANT to see him be rewarded for that in the form of football glory, stardom- whatever word you want to use. So, they try to force what they want to see happen when the reality is they unintentionally hurt us.

I don't see what the problem with starting or playing freshmen/new players is? And as far as "heard they looked good"- I've seen most of them play live and in person except for Jenkins and Gray. So, I'm not sure what your issue there is. Of course I'm also the guy that was lambasted for saying that Dylan Favre was 5'8" and not 5'10" or whatever he was listed at as well.

And if I am "wrong" on any of my guys- I'll be the first to admit it. At the very least there is nothing wrong with trying to see if those new players help us.
