    There isn't one. Candidate pool not deep.

    And then he says no/you don’t get him.
    Wouldn’t that leave us in a wonderful position…

    My view was that DJ was going to be running plenty of times because he had to so why increase his odds of injury? I got a bunch of bacon for that post. Lol.
    But my question for all who didn't agree with my assessment of calling a designated run play for DJ is, once DJ was out would they recommend calling a run play for the third stringer if he was considered a good runner? Of course not.

    Exactly...7 is the minimum. I think where Kirk got confused (Ohio St education...so not surprising), is that only the end on each side would be an eligible receiver in that formation. On a running play it wouldn't matter at all.

    You’re kidding, right? If not, you might want to look at some history. Johnny Vaught, Archie Manning…to name only a couple.

    686 wins in 119 years. 5.76 wins a year.
    You realize their best record with Archie was 8-3 and his overall record was 22-10 right?

    Have you seen his college stats? More interceptions than touchdowns. I believe he had 31 touchdowns passing and 40 interceptions.

    We clearly have a different operational definition of “football school.”

    I just feel like they’ve not been very relevant at all with consistency the last 30 years until Lane came along.

    I'm sure some will respond with "scoreboard" but I still like seeing Etienne and his family whining.

    Probably has more to do with DJ's ability on the option, such as when to hand it off and when to pull it. If Warner isn't as adept with it, why give him the play?

    Which actually makes it smart from a coaching standpoint because you don't risk the penalty for having too many in the backfield.

    He’s a little bitch even if his team won. He had nothing to do with it.
