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.
Putting players in because of seniority works if you're winning. If we start losing games and have our most talented players on the bench, then there's a problem. It's reactive coaching, but Mullen tends to play guys based on their seniority. Peters and McLaurin should play more than just Special Teams, but we're not Mullen. We have no idea what his plan is with some of these phenoms playing as backups.
