Why is Coleman Thomas playing RT?????

[JFBanicki]

Ok he was clearly garbage a center but instead of benching him and keeping him there unless we run out of options at C they start him at RT? Why? He got pushed around all day today and on several plays got ran around while barely, if at all, touching the defender.

What does he and Jumper have on this staff that they will not bench these guys? I don't care how Thomas looks in practice when he knows exactly what the defender will do and the D is purposely not trying to hurt our starting QB because when he don't know the D play and they are trying to it our QB he is pretty much useless. Jumper again must look awesome when he knows exactly what the O play is but ome game time he looks like a player glitching in a video game just shuffling around and looking from side to side while the O runs around him. ANd then he turns into the kid that watched the bully get beatup and when the bully is knocked out on the ground runs up and hits him and runs away because he always seemed to show up in plays after the guy was down or was on their way to the ground and jump in like he did something.

Maybe there's some sort of pay-to-play going on here.

Cause we don't have anyone competent enough to play. I'd say put someone else in and give them a chance. Can't do much worse.

Why say that? You have zero evidence of this.

One can ask why is Moseley playing. he has been getting abused since he has been here and he sucks

 

[dduncan4163]

If Chance is ready next week Coleman won't be starting at RT or C

 

[Roustabout]

Dude must have naked pictures of Butch.
He is horrid. At RT today, one of the worst lookout blocks I've seen in a while. Made the Ohio DE look like Miles Garrett.
Nweds some bench time.

 

[Jax_Vol]

Because Kendrick hasn't exactly been Chad Clifton over there

 

[Dudleys87]

because somewhere along the way we forgot to recruit competent O linemen and we have to play the hand anyway.

Kendrick was moved to LT and Richmond was benched dumbazz.

To be fair, that DE was Ohio's all time sack leader. Coleman has this habit of letting guys get around him. That is what troubles me. Put yourself between the guy and your quarterback. At least then you can slow him down.

Same reason jumper is our # 1 linebacker after 3 years

They reviewed the tape from the 2014 Oklahoma game and figured...WTH...it's worth another shot.

Guys, at some point, you have to blame the coaches for NOT DEVELOPING TALENT.....there are players that come to mind that look the same as they did when they were freshman......ie. E. Mosely, C. Thomas, J. Martin was supposed to be an Elite NFL Ready corner, N. Warrior was/is a "day one" starter; T. Byrd - a day one starter, K. Phillips, a true 5star beast coming out of HS, K. Mckenzie, NFL Ready from day 1; M. Osbourne, after spring ball........he was supposed to see a ton of time........and it goes on and on.............

He got beat on a lot of pass plays in which Dobbs has to take off to save his own life

 

[grobin4300]

somebody wake me up when E. Mosely and J. Martin quit giving up 1st downs and pass interference calls.........

Coleman is playing slow due to a bad ankle. Unfortunately Richmond did not play well last week with a good ankle. Here's to hoping Hall gets well soon and so does Thomas.

Coleman, Weisman, Roberston, and Kendrick all 3*s.......recruiting matters

Very good post.

Stars do matter according to Gary Danielson's comments today.

 

[UTK]

I just want to know how he regressed so much. Lol

 

[JFBanicki]

I honestly think the player development thing is all on our coaching staff and doing things "their way" . We have talented kids coming in and this staff basically tells them not to use their instincts talent and mostly emotion and instead do things the way i say like a machine and its actually making players worse.

I don't remember them being so terrible last season.

It's really weird because I thought when Butch got here his FR and SO played really well and I was like wow he is developing his guys so well... perhaps Dooleys players simply sucked that bad.
