Playing Time

[Xanny]

"We certainly should have played Josh McNeil during the ball game, he's almost like a co-starter. We didn't get that done and that will be done," Fulmer said.


Your offensive interior line is getting beaten and is tired and you don't even play a "co-starter"?


"To be honest with you no, we didn't discuss it," Fulmer said of playing Coker on Saturday. "We discussed it today and he needs to play."


Didn't he say the same thing after the AF game? Hardesty was having a hard time, why not see if Coker's speed would help.

Why does Phil have such a hard time getting guys playing time in action that could really help them develop? If they can't handle the game, that is one thing, but in these 2 instances, I don't think that is the case.

He didn't seem to have a problem getting guys in and out under Sanders.

I wonder if maybe Cut isn't a little stubborn about who he wants in there, or if him being in the booth keeps him from physically grabbing the guys he wants in the game.

 

[Xanny]

Yeah, I didn't mean to blame Phil specifically but more as a staff, if you think the guys need to play, either for experience or just to spell somebody, get them in the game.

Did Walter Fisher Play Any?

I can understand to some degree why it's tough to get McNeil into the game. Center is probably the one position on the offensive line where you really don't see a lot of substitution due to all the responsibilities that a center has, not to mention getting the snap to the QB.

According to participation report, Fisher did not play. ( However, that's the first time I realized Asumnu got in - didn't catch it live, did anyone else see when he was in? I assume it was on FG tries.) Also, can anyone tell me Ramon Foster's status? He didn't play, was he even dressed out?
