'18 GA RB Lyn-J Dixon (Tennessee transfer)

[engineerVOL]

Milton is soft. He shys away from contact.

It’s so frustrating, guy like that should be bowling over folks.

 

[Mccage]

I mean he isn’t wrong. Big red flags. We all discussed them. But it’s worth a take in our situation and his.

His got a green flag. What he does will determine if it stays green.

 

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

I agree with the exception of goal line situations, but even then they should work at going under center and use someone as a full back.

It would be worth practicing snaps under center just for the occasional qb sneak, imo. Line up a tight end or defensive tackle at the fullback spot to push the pile forward.

 

[LittleVol]

I know this sounds crazy but without a true power back , use Milton like Florida did Tebow in short yardage situations.

That would be very smart. Except for the fact that Milton doesn't possess Tim Tebow toughness.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

I don’t think your OPINION is wrong, but having a countering variety doesn’t consign that person to football ignorance.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Potential to be at Reggie White's level. Failed to have half the will.

He didn’t have Reggie’s arm bar swipe. In fact, no one did.

True. Speaking specifically of domination level. He broached that level right before his final contract but unlike Reggie didn't play motivated after getting paid.

Says who?

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Exactly. Milton isn’t a great decision maker

That was last year

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Hooker is the better runner…why take him out?

Per UTsports Hooker is 6’4 218. Milton is 6’5 245. Why risk an injury to Hooker when you don’t have to?

 

[SSVol]

Quick, short guys are actually better

That's not what she said?

 

[butchna]

Per UTsports Hooker is 6’4 218. Milton is 6’5 245. Why risk an injury to Hooker when you don’t have to?

Because he has the higher chance of success. The extra pounds hasn’t benefitted Milton in the sample size we’ve viewed. Switching out QBs only slows down our tempo.

 

[butchna]

That was last year

He got better? Based on what?

 

[engineerVOL]

Says who?

The Ole Miss defensive back he had by 40 pounds that watched him skate out of bounds on a game-deciding play as time ran out… for one.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Well we will no longer have to rely on true freshman Jaylen Wright. Even if we have to rely on him again he's bigger and stronger now.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

The Ole Miss defensive back he had by 40 pounds that watched him skate out of bounds on a game-deciding play as time ran out… for one.

So that proves he doesn’t like contact?

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

He got better? Based on what?

Did I say he got better? How does anyone know he hasn’t? All I am saying is using what happened last year means nothing.

 

[SmokinBob]

Some people just peak in high school. Just look at facebook.

It’s about informed decisions. Using Hooker worked better than Milton. So throw that out the window?

Yup. No one open, then throw it up for grabs.....or since you are a monster in comparison to the defenders truck their asses on the way to the end zone. Total brain fart by him. I have seen him basically curl up in a ball in the middle of some linebackers and not push forward and basically let himself get tackled. I sure hope he has gotten these things out of his head, because if history tells us correctly we will need him this year on the field in some fashion.

On every run if he was about to get hit he would basically stop and fall over. He never initiated contact. Hopefully he’s worked on it

You have to be joking or trolling. Or you never played sports. You cannot change an athletes attitude or competitiveness. When a player doesn’t like contact and proves that, he doesn’t change that year by year. I’ll take Dobbs who would fight for every yard and weighs 40 pounds less than Milton on the goal line any day over Milton.

I had blocked that from my memory, thanks for reminding me Engineer! Ugghhh lol

Hahaha.
Actually? YES!!

Of course that's what it means!

Because he knew time had already expired...so he needed to throw or run. And he chose to run....out of bounds.

Got a real good friend who is a huge Clemson fan. Laughing because we took him. Said people like him are less likely to change having just one more year left. Said Clemson washed their hands with him and benched him. Then he said I hear he is a walking attitude. lol I said, glad peopl8e gave me second, third and fourth chances. lol

So Clemson fans have more insight about their players than Tenn. fans do about theirs?
