Dowdell to the portal

How do you know we're gonna have a thumper. Holgerson's offenses don't generally have thumpers.

what a moron

Lots of posts here so maybe I missed one saying he has a new home. But if he is still uncommitted, I wouldn’t assume he’s gone. It’s all about $$$ and his competitor at RB got his bag, so he surely wants more, too.

Question: Have the transfer rules changed? I thought a player could transfer once of their own free will, then they could transfer if there is a coaching change and then finally a grad transfer.

They have changed. No limit on transfers any longer I believe.

DR is QB1 at a P4 school. It’s his job to take in the landscape in his pre-snap read. He has the ability and the right to change the play or call a timeout. DR could have easily pulled the ball and ran a naked bootleg around the outside. DR has the best viewpoint to determine if that play call will work. Not everything is the coach’s fault.

Forest Gump style here. If Satterfield called for Dowdell to jump over the line on 1st and 10 from the 20 and DR didn't audible, would you expect Dowdell to do it? Or would you expect him to improvise?

Watch how many NFL coaches call a timeout and help a young qb out. No way is that a freshman qbs fault who is halfway through his first season of college football. Who knows if they even wanted him audibling at the goal line.

Thought he had vision issues but DD was a contributor. Would fit in nice with EJ and another back with some quicks. I’m not celebrating this one.

I'm not celebrating it but I clearly won't miss a wink of sleep either. I think he had a niche but imo it's strictly as a short yardage back. For the most part he's only getting what a play is blocked for. He's not stiff arming or juke moving anyone to any extra yards. He will lower his shoulder and go forward after contact but to me guys like that aren't hard to find. I said it before last year I don't think we have any "difference makers" at RB from that team last year.

He very much compares to Imani Cross, who Bo and Riley used as a short yardage back. He got more run at the end of his senior year, but that was largely because depth in the RB room had hit rock bottom.
EJ is going to get a chance to show whether he can be a feature back for what Holgerson wants to do. I suspect Dana likes him. Good lateral movement and can catch the ball. Top end speed is limited. I'd be happy with Ozigbo level productivity out of EJ next year and I think he'll get more receiving yardage than Devine got his Sr. year.

@SkulzNBonz Please follow through with this request.

[OzzyLvr]

your answer is "ignore the coach's play call and go rogue"?

LMAO. perfect.

Yes, when it’s obvious it won’t work. Players make plays. DR didn’t in that situation.

Improvise. Players make plays.
