It is a real reach to be saying that Coaches Mullen, Know and Hevesy are holding him back because of ideals, seniority or loyalty. I can assure you that every member of our coaching staff and team wants to win and dominate as much or more than you, myself or any other MSU fan does. Their rather large salaries depend on it.
The real question is, how does a D Lee, A-Train, or any other future back get to the point that they are playing position completely and not risking the outcomes of games doing so? Is it in-game experience or showing that they have a complete grasp in practice before being put in real game situations?
In tightly played games or games with evenly matched opponents the result often comes down to full team execution on just a few plays. One player missing his assignment on those plays can be difference between a touchdown or a turnover and both can be game changers. How much do the coaches want to risk?
He's better than Holloway at pass blocking and guess who we brought in to help with our pass blocking against Texas A&M? Lee.
