[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 179844, member: 1640"] I thought he did not get playing time due to ND's defense. There was not much room to run. We needed someone heavier who could run in traffic, hang onto the ball and hopefully move the pile a few yards. To me it did not look like MM's type of game. Now, had the offensive line done a better job getting to the second level and sealing off linebackers there would have been some room for MM to run. Anyway, that was the way it looked to me at the time and I was actually a little worried that CPJ might put him in and we would have a key fumble. ND just did not look like the kind of team I would want a freshman to have a learning experience with. The last few years I have noticed that CPJ tries to protect the psyche of freshman players by creating confidence building situations and avoiding situations that could shatter that optimism. When Tevin was quarterbacking and Vad Lee was being mixed in some people wanted Vad to start full time but I thought CPJ did a good job giving him game situations where he could have success and build confidence. Of course the next year when he started it didn't help him that he had looked so good the previous year. [/QUOTE]
