Disatrous. Thank god they didn't do it. If only some of the guys we have there would get serious and get in the weight room. Zac Cooper still at 185?? He's a non-factor. We don't have an outstanding, game-changing back. Sad, but true. That's a real weakness, and I'm not at all sure the incoming freshmen cam rectify that.

Don't correct the guy - let him keep making himself look ignorant.

I figured Sammy would move to fill this hole with adam being such a playmaker and GHop ready to take over the slot. I think this is such a good decision. Readynto see humphries start! Chad Morris always talks about how great this kid is...GHop has been working hard with Tahj so id like to see them hook up like Hopkins and Tahj did. The battle between Peake and Bryant should be an interesting one. Both need to step up this year

over Humphries. I like Humphries but he's not a viable threat to take the top off the defense. Both Peake and Bryant are and of course watkins. I think if they stepped up and were the starting 3 then Safeties would have to stay back and respect the deap threat. That opens up the run game... I guess i'm not a coach and see the improvements or lack their of first hand.

Why not let him do what he does best, and not risk him as a return man or running back? If only we had some stud running backs! We don't.

Martavis? He's the fastest guy on the team and stands 6'5". Why is he not a lock to start? Is it his hands? His routes? I keep waiting for him to break out. Seems like whenever he makes a catch, it's for big yards--often a TD. He just doesn't get many chances. And now it sounds like he's behind Charone. Does somebody know why that is?

It's been reported that blocking/playbook issues are the main culprits.

Chad don't take no chit off these guys and he doesn't buy into excuses. He probably has a problem with who to block and how to block.

I assumed they just moved him to the outside, that will put Sammy, Humphries, and Peake/Bryant on the field all at the same time and will give Tajh a lot of options to spread the ball around.
