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.
1. Not sure what the Coman thing has to do with it. Thats the same shit youre doing now. Jumping the gun on a player, and wanting him to replace him with a guy you havent seen play. Not sure your point.

2. I highly doubt Mullen is just rewarding players for practice efforts....and if he is, it led to 10 wins last year, so....

3. No you havent seen them play. Not live snaps against college teams. No you havent. Because they havent. You want to throw a guy out there at safety because he's got talent, a high rating, and was a star for Bassfield against other ?A highschool teams. That is FAR from "seeing these guys play live snaps" before.

4. You say that about not seeing Gray live and in person, yet you repeatedly say that Gray is a slot guy that we're trying to be cute with, and make an outside guy. So what are you basing him being a slot guy on, if youve never seen him? His size? Yes, more than likely.

Again, I dont know why you get so defensive, I'm just saying there's more to our personnel than just throwing the guy that you heard played well in there.
