I would say that Hall did a little more than you are saying. My impression last night was that he is a hoss, and that well may have been a breakout game for him. If, as @Walton says, Smith didn't make the tweets I heard about, then why didn't he play more last night? I agree that Smith is a great back, but he sure didn't get a chance to show it last night. Why?
He must have gotten beaten out. No more ATL!
The Depth Chart had all 3 RBs listed as first team so I hope you guys that must know who is starting are OK. Smith did play, just not much.
Hopefully he realizes it helped the team to win a game.It isn’t Walton says. He literally had a single tweet about it. He doesn’t tweet much anyway. Screen shot below if I figure out how to do it:
Thanks. I tried to find a tweet, but all I could find were made before this past week. If that's all he tweeted, then you are right; it is much ado about nothing. BUT WHY DIDN'T HE PLAY MORE LAST NIGHT !!!It isn’t Walton says. He literally had a single tweet about it. He doesn’t tweet much anyway. Screen shot below if I figure out how to do it:
He 100% pushed it as part of that developmental program sales pitch he came up with along with the ATL chart. Basically, we had participation trophy based substitution philosophies. Just like 6U sports where the coach’s main job is to make sure everyone on the team plays roughly equal minutes to keep parents from bitching.
You would think that if he were banged up, the TV announcers at least would have mentioned it. They did not.
He runs right into the linemen’s ass… every run…
Put that on the list of coaches things to do - don't run into the linemen's asses, sounds like an easy fix.
Announcers, especially those with personal knowledge of Tech, generally speak about everything.
Sure, but he’s not explosive, he doesn’t run with conviction, or anything. Hall runs like every run is gonna win us a natty.
Remember where CGC stated that Tech would be geared specifically towards getting players more looks from the NFL. Another colossally meat-headed proposal.
He also said we were trying to pressure the outside gaps more in addition to the QB keepers, and Hall has shown to be the best at those. I'm a big fan of Smith, but I like the decision to go with the RB that fits your plan the best. I'm sure we'll see more of Smith as the year goes on, hopefully as a 1-2 punch with Hall.
