Recruiting Forum Football Talk XXXIII

That is true. It does not, however, exceed the fear that Trey Smith will miss critical reps in practice to attend his prom.

I knew he would never contribute, when I heard that. Ain't nobody come to play prom

Murphy, Palmer and Jones will be on campus soon as well. At least one of those guys will likely be a factor this fall. My money is on Palmer, he's already 200+lbs, and I think he was underrated. I think the other two will need some time to add weight but hopefully they already are and will be ready to go. JMO

We also have a healthy Brandon Johnson to look forward to. :thumbsup:

 

[Captain Mitch]

Is Byrd hurt right now?

 

[Catbone]

Represent!

 

[Catbone]

Crap

I don't see Byrd moving. I can see him stealing a few carries per game to help balance the workload of JK and crew.

 

[AV_12]

I'm pretty excited about our offense as far as starters and playmakers go.

 

[DeepPurpleFloyd]

Crap

Hope everything came out okay.

Based on what? When has Bryd ever been mentioned as working with the tailbacks?

An end around is still technically a carry.

Correct.

So is a scramble by the QB. Doesn't mean they're tailbacks.

Where did he say Byrd would be playing tailback?

Bajakian isn't the OC anymore.

I don't know Scott's tendencies yet. I just hope he's not a draw on 3rd and long guy.

Or a 3 yard out route on 3rd and long guy...

Depends on the circumstance. On your own 5, 3rd and long with a RS freshman QB. A draw isn't a bad play.

It was mentioned in the Saturday practice report in this thread on Sunday. Said Byrd had some work in the backfield.

 

[LaagerVol]

Pretty sure the "wasted Byrd" fear around here supersedes fear of kidney stones, public speaking & death

Lol with good reason. Nick did you watch his AA game?

Ahhh the Xbox EA Sports developed philosophy. In many instances, that is exactly the right type of play to run. Calling 4 verts and airing it out every 3rd and 15 works great on the Xbox.

I can't wait to see the soon to be thread titled "Tyler Byrd is a great wide receiver crow eating thread"

Seeing that one is just about as likely as the one titled, "I used to be a negavol, but I realize that I was wrong and now am all in on Butch."

You seem to speak from experience. I'm more of an analytics guy. I'd link you to footballoutsiders but the formatting of the website might be broken if you're trying to view it from your Xbox.

Yes, if you specify a bunch of variables a draw isn't a bad play. But at that point it's also a very predictable play with a low likelihood of success.

I am just saying that you can't call Coach Scott a bad play caller if he calls such a play in that circumstance. With either of our QB's this year, you are going to see some conservative calls early in the year. But heck, you would see a draw called in that circumstance with a senior QB.

As long as he gets the ball several times. I think that is where most of the crying comes from is his ability at CB being wasted to catch two passes a game isn't going to cut it. Now if he starts touching the ball a lot more those go away. He clearly has the ability at WR
