are you taking bets on that?

Hmmm ... I know I only coached kids, but we never never looks at stats - only film in evaluating our RB's. All positions for that matter.

Remember, a RB does more than just "run".

Go BULLS !!!

never look at stats?

that is  a bit strange

Consider the source. 

Say "Grothe" three times and he'll appear like the freaking Candyman.  It's uncanny, this man's...ahem... "love" for Grothe.

You guys are really showing yourselves as limited fans.

What stats do you guys look at for O-Linemen ?

Reviewing play calling stats especially situational play calling stats is one of the best tools coaches can use.  It can help diagnose tendencies in your own play calling and also help identify the other teams tendencies.  Film is obviously important but film alone wont give you success at top levels of competition.   

I think those stats were VERY telling as to Gregory's play calling tendencies when using the running backs. Very predictable, in that there were situations were Williams had ZERO opportunities for an entire season...and the same for Ford/Taylor.

I think that is something that needs to be improved drastically for this offense to take the next step.

If the reports that all 4 RBs are looking so good right now are true, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see each of them get limted carries and playing time in the first two games just to get the rust off.  As usual with this coaching staff we won't know the real deal until we play Kansas unless it is a really close game going into the 2nd half at UCF.  Not that we are trying to hide anything, but more about getting the experience and into the season and giving each a chance to separate themselves in game conditions.

smazza, most of the time, I ignore your drivel, but seriously, you are probably the only person on Earth to utter a phrase even remotely resembling an implication that CJL doesn't work hard enough.

I know you have to keep your post count going, but seriously, think about what you are saying.

Yep, you are that stupid.  You might want to check the last few years of recruiting.  Start with Andre Hall.

Smazza, you're the man.

Now, BACK ON TOPIC PLEASE.
