On, Leggett: Eric, do you think....

[Yaller Jacket]

...coach will make some sort of announcement or do you think the first time we know will be win he trots into the huddle?

 

[MidtownJacket]

Seems like since there is no game tape on him we don't win a huge amount by not announcing.. That said - would be kind of cool if he just strolls into the huddle and the D is asking - who is this guy????

 

[Eric]

Not sure.

Could hear today.

Fwiw, I hear he's likely to play.

 

[gtguy]

Watch his high school videos .He looks o. k. but not as good as Laskey's High School vids . The Alexander HS ...RUNNING BACK COMMIT - Davis ? from Douglasville looks faster and has size and power . THWG

Look at who is is playing against lead the state in rushing in the highest class and one of the toughest regions I think he is going to be good

 

[Techster]

According to AJC, Leggett will not play against UNC. Sounds like he's headed towards a redshirt.

[wingsrlevel]

just heard PJ say he won't play. Barring injuries he will redshirt. Looks like he is still behind Connors.

 

[RamblinCharger]

That's disappointing. I guess he didn't have the assignments down well enough.

 

[jeffgt14]

He says he doesn't want to play CJ for 8 plays a game. I think those 8 plays a game could be extremely valuable experience for him. I'd rather have someone back there for those 8 plays that would be a change of pace from Laskey than someone back there who would just "not screw up" but not offers no real threat.

harder to see the field than most people think. big difference from HS to college.

not knowing what to do would not benefit him or the team, If he "screwed up" that could mean the difference between a win or loss. Looks like they did everything they could do for him to be a backup to Laskey this year and he didn't measure up to Days or Connors.

I wonder if Paul gives freshman the full playbook and doesn't allow them to play unless they can do everything at least decently, or if he gives them a small portion to learn. I can't imagine him not being able to learn his assignments on 3-4 plays. If he did I would think he could play 15-20 snaps a game which could be really beneficial. Then he could learn more of the playbook as he went along.

I completely agree.

^My thoughts as well.

You think they run 3 or 4 plays 15-20 times in a game?

Yep. The blocking assignments may be different but yes.

 

[wingsrlevel]

Maybe he does know the playbook and he just isn't better than Connors. Sounds like they tried to hand him the back up job this year and he couldn't take it for whatever reason.

 

[dressedcheeseside]

Look fellas, he was given a chance this week and didn't make the cut. But I guess it's coach's fault. Contrary to popular opinion, coach doesn't like to lose.

Maybe so, I was just curious as to what coach did with freshman, obviously he wasn't good enough to play one way or the other.
