[QUOTE="Jerry the Jacket, post: 829612, member: 65"] You know Kenny Cooper has not been able to play a full season since he has been here. I love his heart and he gives it everything he has when he is in there and is a pretty darn good football player. I think the coaches counting on Kenny to be a frontline player and major part of our offensive line was much akin to fool's gold. I think he would have been much better suited in a role as a backup where you could limit his snap count and try to manage his workload. In other words, nurse him along and hope to have him available for much of the season. His body is just not going to take a full load. I hope they will reconsider using him as a starter and do whatever is necessary to develop a more reliable starting guard. I know they tried Vaipulu Saturday and he had some struggles but he at least gained some experience. I would consider moving Minihan to Guard and playing Franklin (who is supposed to be a mean SOB) or Lay at Center. We need to get some of these backups in the mix. I would shift to more of a full-on scrimmage environment at practice and fully simulate game conditions in full pads to the maximum extent allowed by the NCAA guidelines. We just have to recognize that our Offensive Line is our most pressing need, our Achilles heel, and work our tails off to address and correct the situation with the greatest sense of urgency possible. Go Jackets! [/QUOTE]
