You take that game out and he still averaged almost a full YPC over Laskey last year playing behind the best Oline since PJ has been here. Laskey averaged 4.98 YPC last year. If you take his best game out he averaged 4.8 YPC. As a Senior. Behind the best Oline in PJ's tenure. Contrast that with...

That play scared the crap out of me. I thought for sure he was going to pitch it. It would've been a scoop and score do sure. Great job by Justin to hold onto that ball. He still needs to throw the ball away and take the 3 points though, but yea, that play killed the drive. I think One of the...

First, you and stingyoa$$ might as well go start a petition to get him removed from bback consideration all together. You might be the only 2 to sign it, but it's obvious that you to will do whatever it takes to prove that he doesn't belong there. Everyone else seems to be excited about what he...

1. Coaching issue. 4 returning starters 2. Agreed 3. Losing one player over halfway through the year doesn't count as an excuse for going 3-9. Especially when the reason we lost the UVA, VT and UGA games because our offense stunk. 4. Same as 2, can't count this twice. 5. Same as 2, can't count...

No one is saying he wasn't dealt a tough hand this year because he was. I'm just saying that even with the hand he was dealt, we should've won more than 1 game out of our last 10. We lost to possibly the worst VT and UGA teams in the last decade, a bad UVA team, an average at best Duke and Pitt...

Folks we witnessed history yesterday! For the first time since PJ has been here we saw a bback get stopped for no gain on a promising drive. Said bback is therefore not cut out for the position if he cannot gain positive yardage on every play regardless of how the Oline performs, especially on...

He did pad his stats against two inferior teams at the beginning of the year. This is not uncommon for bbacks in our offense though. Last year we played Wofford and Tulane to start the season. I would say that's not much different than this year and that our schedule overall was easier last year...

First, Miami is 108th in rushing D so I would say that they haven't been "ok." Second, I think having 2 NFL WR's on the outside along with Shaq at RG had as much to do with our success up the middle as the bbacks we had. While MM had a good game against Miami, 8 carries for 74 yards, he...

I would recommend you doing the same. Go listen to what PJ himself said about MM when he has the ball in his hands. That is what this whole conversation has been about. You can't backpedal and start talking about other things. You said he "dances" too much when he runs. Well it seems that PJ...

I'm glad somebody else brought this up. I couldn't for the life of me understand why he didn't just snap the ball when he saw the guy directly in front of him jump. I'd like to think he has the freedom to do that, but maybe he doesn't? It was the little things like this that we didn't do all...

You're right! The only thing different about this year was our bbacks. Our online was great, QB played flawless, we had 2 NFL WRs outside to keep the D honest, and a plethora of experienced abacks doing their job on the perimeter. If we had only had a decent ("north south") bback we would've won...

Philpott looks the part and can supposedly run. Hopefully he steps into that role next year. Juene and Stewart will both be better as well. HH will be in the mix also.

He had ZERO negative yardage plays today. As for the head fake, it worked like you said it did. In fact, if it's the run I'm thinking of, he was a step from taking it to the house. Their safety made a great open field tackle. As for the "head fake," sometimes you've got to do what you've got to...

Try reading what you highlighted again. I'll help... "I think HE did more than hold his own..." Nobody said WE did. There were lots of issues with the offense this year. MM with the ball in his hands wasn't one of them. Other areas of the position, sure. I find it hard to believe you can't...

This whole conversation was started because you said MM "doesn't look like what we need at bback" and "he's a dancer." You then lamented that we needed a "north south" runner. I gave you statistics comparing MM to our best "north south" runner at the position since PJ has been here and you...

I agree, but we also did not get the production out of any position on the offensive side of the ball that we needed. That's why we only won 3 games. We just weren't a good football team. I think part of the lack of production from the back spot was due to the limited touches that MM got. It was...

You live in a false reality then. First of all, nobody is saying that the Oline is totally to blame for our offensive woes this year. There is plenty of blame to go around, but to act like they aren't a big reason, if not the biggest, is asinine. As for the lack of production from the bback...

You clearly don't watch the games. I went back to look at the play by play based on your comment. He had 1 run of no gain, ZERO runs for negative yards, 2 for 2 yards, 1 for 3. The other 5 were for 5 plus. Again, no negative plays, but I guess your eyes see what they want to see to fit your...

I agree. There are several things he needs to work on, but he has the chance to be special before it's all said and done. There also weren't many holes to hit this year. If you watched Days closely last year, he made a lot of subtle cuts before the LOS as well. If I remember correctly, his long...

If it weren't for MM "dancing" we wouldn't have gotten anything on the dive today. There were several times where he side stepped a defender only to get up field to pick up 5+ yards. Would you prefer him to go straight north and south like Skov and run into the back of one of our lineman? The...
