No matter how sainted and fully respected a player is, if someone is better than that player, then that better player should play. Where's the band?! WHERE"S THE BAND?!

No matter how sainted and fully respected a player is, if someone is better than that player, then that better player should play. And that is how it works. That is why on the roster Ohio has eight players who have yet to red-shirt. Three seniors, three juniors and two sophomores. Basham, as a freshman, led the team in sacks & tfl, Sayles, as a freshman contributed 32 tkls as a DL, Smith, as a freshman, played in 11 games when L. Smith, Waters & Dovell were dinged up and made 12 catches, Pruehs, as a freshman stepped up and started most of the season when Wood was hurt, I seem to remember McCray, as a freshman, starting for a dinged up Watson, Ouellette, as a freshman led the team in rushing, Crouch, as a freshman, played in 13 games & made 8 ttl tkls, Hale, as a freshman, took over the the long snapper duties. It appears of the above, Basham, Oullette ans Hale secured starting roles as freshmen that they have yet to surrender. Oullette, as a junior, has been elected by the players to be one of their captains. Pruehs and McCray lost their starting roles when Wood and Watson returned. All of the above is about playing the best player. Last Edited: 7/29/2016 8:02:54 AM by Bcat2 "Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men."

And I've always accepted the players know who should be on the field and have better insight than any of us in Columbus, California or the Carolinas. And there has been zero echos from Athens complaining about teammate A not getting playing time over teammate B. Back to Top L.C.

People are saying that AJ is good, and that he accomplishes more than you might expect because he works hard. “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top allen General User Member Since: 1/24/2006 Post Count: 4,630 Status: Offline     RE: Way, Way, Way Early Depth Chart    Posted: 7/31/2016 12:51:21 AM  Irons and AJ both worked hard this off-season and Irons stayed with the team. He could have easily left. The coaches need to find away to play these guys and if Irons is better. He should get the bulk of the carries. AJ is a hardworker and a coaches dream and Irons is a stud. No more hiding him on the bench. Let the bulls run. As far as guaranteed positions, we have a QB that is number 1 on the depth chart that hasn't taken a snap all-spring. I can't say I disagree, because Windham has been terrible in game action and Maxwell is quite the project. We need a QB to be decent because defenses will put eight in the box. Nobody despises to lose more than I do. That's got me into trouble over the years, but it also made a man of mediocre ability into a pretty good coach.

However, White and Brown are thoroughbreds too. White might well emerge like Bogan, all 5'7" of him, of WMU, who took over for the 228lb. Franklin who was just the 2014 MAC OPOY. Or the 2012 Kent season with Archer/Durham. Archer more yards, Durham by far more carries. Oh, and for the QB to be decent there will be times the RB will need to be aware of the defense, when to stay and protect, when to slip out and set up between defenders in a zone or work for separation from a defender in man. Week to week opponent defenses will present different challenges, one week White might be the man breaking plays, another Brown/Irons might excel between the tackles, another week Oullette might be the most important just keeping the QB upright.
