Message: [QUOTE="anomander, post: 5519216, member: 2766"] A couple takes: Love how he said some of the true freshman are starting to get run. Specifically mentioned the 2 Canadians and Gillians. Nissi was playing at Clemson. I was field level and this is a big man. I hate to say it but right now we have an 8th year guy and 3 RsSr or Sr’s just getting cardio sessions in. We have to be towards the bottom of CFB in sacks or TFL’s. I also think David O is better than Reese. Tremble is a big athlete who can make some plays. the DL is not producing. Let’s get the young kids prepared for next season. People are acting like Rickie is young. He’s in his 3rd year of CFB, meaning he’s an upperclassmen. I know people are used to 8th year super duper seniors at this point after COIVD, but let’s not act like he’s inexperienced. He shared a QB room with Jaydon Daniels. At this point he is what he’s going to be. I don’t see any touch on his passes. Everything is throw em the heater Rickie!! Fran sounded locked in on Rickie during the interview, which I understand, but he has to be willing to give Luke a shot if we see another poor performance. I just can’t stand running the same guys out if they don’t produce. How much worse can it get and you never know how people perform in games. Playing sports through college, I fully believe in guys who rise to the occasion in games and aren’t practice players. Finally, I have no problem with how he handled the interview and moving onto next week. He knows he has a young, inexperienced team, that doesn’t sound like it has the leadership coming from the team that is needed for successful teams, so he has to lead by example, and show he’s moved on and we’re preparing for SMU. After a beating like that with a new QB, and a defense that couldn’t stop a leaking sink, the team could have really gone to a bad place. It will be interesting to see how he handles things if they don’t improve. I trust he will make the right decisions to move on from people who aren’t producing, but we haven’t had to see that yet. Finally, we’ve seen big Byron move grown men. He has looked great when he has played. I’m not sure if it’s conditioning that’s holding him back, but I think it’s time to unleash him. Interesting to see that he’s now backing up Ferguson at OG, who I personally thought has been our best interior lineman. I don’t have the film he has access to, but before he was backing up Cruz and getting on the field more. Not sure why the change there, but I’d like to see Ferguson and Byron on the field together and use some ground and pound with Willis to try and take some pressure off. [/QUOTE]
