[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 233919, member: 265"] Days got to play more late because Coach is a "if-you-start-you-won't-lose-your-job-unless-you-are-hurt-or-someone-plays-much-better" guy. If Laskey hadn't gotten hurt, he'd have continued to start and would have had more carries and yards. And Days would have gotten about 30-40% of carries or maybe less. Or, to put it another way, if players are doing about equally, the one starting will continue to start and get most of the playing time. That's just the way it works. Even last year Skov didn't get pushed out by MM; he got hurt (badly, by all reports) and lost the starting job. Same thing happened to Shamire when he had the concussion; Joe took over and did as good a job as Shamire, so he continued to start. The point you seem to be trying to make is that we should always have a BB like Dwyer who is the true featured back. I couldn't agree more. Problem = we usually don't have that player and we end up using a committee system instead. Result in 2014 = slightly better then Dwyer. I fail to see the grounds for complaint here. [/QUOTE]
