OR next to your name. LJ is a great player, but not elite (yet).

Think LJ may have gotten there if not injured several games but not a given even then.

I don’t like that Greg is already ruling out a 370 yard effort from LJ in the

Makes me wonder if he's even watching the games when he calls them.

Kalani has only had 2 RB's go over over 1000 yards as Head Coach at BYU...

1000 yard rusher is a good sign of a good RB...

Coug

3:31pm

When we are playing 3 RBs a game, do you expect all 3 to have 1000+ yards?

spidercoug

3:33pm

If you are playing 3 RB's... you don't have a good RB.

Coug

3:34pm

You and Das_Countach just like to complain. I'll leave you to your cying

spidercoug

3:36pm

This is a legitimately awful take

RealTaysomHill

I have no qualms with having a 1996 style backfield (McKenzie & Jenkins)

gopman

5:09pm

As definitively as your statement is written, it's not true.

Homercles

5:19pm

Both points can be simultaneously true. I would love to have a 1996

gopman

5:36pm

Yeah, a backfield like that would be epic.

Homercles

5:41pm

It comes down to recruiting. Because we struggle to land "good quality" RB's

gopman

It's a sign of a RB staying healthy for a change

Indy Coug

3:35pm

Brooks maybe... Martin I doubt it

Coug

3:37pm

Good point. Allgeier and Jamaal are the two RBs to actually be healthy all year

spidercoug

3:38pm

typically when you have 3 NFL QBs for the majority of that time you don’t

FieroCoug

3:36pm

And 2 of our NFL drafted QB's had an NFL drafted RB... weird

Coug

3:37pm

it probably helps those guys stay healthy. maybe my first post is wrong and it

FieroCoug

3:45pm

Are you 13?

shimmy

Coug just has to find his little nuggets to piss about in the midst of a 10-2 season

Indy Coug

3:37pm

It's just stating the obvious.

Coug

3:38pm

Obvious if you lack critical thinking skills!

shimmy

3:39pm

All good information added to the conversation... thank you shimmy

Coug

3:42pm

Sorry I didn’t make dumb proclamations about LJ Martin being a failed recruit.

shimmy

3:43pm

Well... thanks for your input and data to back up your points... appreciate your input

Coug

3:43pm

Link to the data you provided or do we just get dumb declarations?

shimmy

3:48pm

2 1000 yards rushers under Kalani in 9 seasons, 6 seasons in which Kalani hasn't had a 1000 yard rusher

Coug

3:49pm

By data I meant data reasonably related to the conclusion.

shimmy

4:02pm

So I mostly agree with the recruiting fail as Williams was a Bronco recruit and Allgeier

kimdaddy35

3:39pm

See... here's my problem, I agree with you up to a point...

Coug

3:41pm

We have two RBs in the NFL (3 if you count Taysom). Other than Alabama, there are few teams

kimdaddy35

3:48pm

You state that BYU runs the ball well and contradict your self with BYU fails

NYC and Japan

4:24pm

Is NIL playing a part? You are correct that this staff isn't the best at

gopman

5:14pm

Martin, Pokaiau, and now Breslin are much higher rated than our average player

I don't care if carries are spread around as long as the running game works

Belboz

It seems to me more of an issue of health, which may be partially a coaching

Baraeus

3:53pm

We are a year, maybe 2, into a revamped S&C program so maybe we start to see less injuries.

Coug

3:55pm

Ugh

TNT

3:28pm

Well considering Jamal Willis ended a 20 year streak in 1992, what does that tell you about BYU's need

kimdaddy35

A Rod’s o lines have been sub par with run blocking.

I don't think his shoulder ever fully recovered.

Or his ankle. He's not a speedster, but seemed quite a bit slower than last yr.
