Where's David Foote?

Did I miss something about him being injured?



No carries the last two weeks, but he's got the second best ypc on the team (I'm not counting Falslev because that big run against Weber severely skews his average).

Yes , yes. And where's Lasike and Pritchard. All we would have had to have done is ram the ball up the middle to set up options and a few passes to set up draws.

Let these Guys battle ram instead of Riley. Stupid.

Best question of the last 2 weeks. Why has Foote not seen the field? Why does Brandon Doman refuse to use the best running option we have, statistically?

Pritchard isn't ready to be a full-time contributor.

So what you're saying is, we should give the ball to our biggest, strongest RB's to charge up the middle instead of our rather small, injury prone QB? Interesting...



Maybe, and I'm just thinking out-loud here, it would also be a good idea to give the ball to our fastest RB's when running to the outside. Hmmm....I'll have to ponder on this.

Either that or he's going with the other popular theory, that the best players are always the younger, unused, and untested ones.

I am so disappointed in our offensive coaching that i can't even talk about it. I feel like we have mismanaged some real talent.

That's just crazy talk.

When I said he has the second high ypc, I should've said he has the highest amoung RBs, Hill has the highest.



I'm just surprised no one has even mentioned it. He had some good runs against Washington St. He showed speed and an ability to get the to outside and then he just disappeared

Glad we have Hoffman and Apo on the outside to act as decoys and downfield blockers. :sulk:

IF it is williams or foote, then we need to play Williams. He is a much better back.



In fact, I think Wiliiams is better than Alisa at this point. I think that Williams and Alisa should be getting the same exact amount of carries. I think we also need to run maybe 3-4 plays a game with Foote and Lasike. No more, no less.

That's actually the one thing I will give Apo. He's a good blocker. In fact, that's about the only time I ever notice him on the field.

I haven't brought it up here, but I've noticed his absence in the backfield the last 2 weeks. Originally, I wondered if he was hurt, but he's there on the punt team. Ponderous...

On the sidelines where he belongs.



Give the added reps to Williams. And try Hine, if healthy.

Agreed. WIlliams and Hine should be getting the reps. Although, I thought when foot actually got the ball he ran better than Alisa. Seeing his results, I don't understand why he is still the featured back.

Answer: Because Doman doesn't know what he's doing.

Other than Hoffman, there us not a lot if proven talent- ie exceptional talent.

There is a ton of hype, however!

Familiar ring. And Alisa and Juice were so much better than the guys ahead of them. And oh yeah Juice bailed because these guys were all so good. They are all decent, but not great right now! Footer may be like Alisa - looked better until teams started preparing for him. Then not so much. Give it to Footer till they stop him! And bring the teenager along. Maybe he will be better- EVENTUALLY.

Unfortunately this is probably the answer.
