Riley says he will announce the first one "soon" and that he has already left the team.
Wouldn't the media have noticed the missing person if it was a 1st or 2nd string player?
They noticed that VV and MC missed the first part of practice, but showed up later.

Not too worried about who's leaving. More concerned about this year's recruiting class including JUCOs. We need strong roster adds across the board. No more excuses about how these guys weren't MR types.
It is important who and how many are leaving since it impacts who is recruited and how many open scholarships.
And it might shed some light on who have been trouble during the year with negativity.
I hate when a player leaves early.
Gotta know you are going to look back and wish you hadn't.
This next year should be A Much better year.

Quessing here:For some reason I have a feeling Adam Taylor could be one of the running backs.
Do we really know if Darlington still has issues with concussions?
Could AJ Bush be another?
Both of these QB have question marks being redshirt Sophomores going into next season.

Cant blame some for leaving; doesn't mean a bad attitude. HCMR has met with many - if my son was told he will probably never play at this level; due to ability or an all star cast ahead of him; I want him to leave on good terms - for opportunity. Just because a player leaves and starts elsewhere, doesn't mean he could have beat out the 1-2 guys he had too here.
I've never once read any current player being accused of trying to sabotage the team and I doubt you have either.

You must have missed about three weeks when that was the narrative for our losses.

I will say it again. 5th string running back is the most popular guy on the team.
You bring up a good point regarding next year.. will it be another transition year full of struggles or is it the true 1st year in the real Mike Riley system where they start putting an emphasis on their system vs the smorgasbord we got this year?
I don't think Riley can really afford to run the '2015 season' again in 2016. If you do this and have another crappy season, things don't look so hot, and you have done nothing to build for the future in the first 2 years.
Doesn't he have to start with his QB, and his system completely in 2016? At least in this scenario, it might still be a crappy season, but you would feel like he is at least working toward something meaningful.
The 2015 season felt like one big waste of time, but not sure they could have done much more than they did with what they had to work with.
I hope this hire isn't a big waste of time but until we get a accountable QB that doesn't throw the ball up for grabs and makes better decisions and knows how to run this system we won't be winning anything of substance.
Cut down on dumb penalties and Banker shows he is the guy to coordinate our defense is what I hope to see improvement going forward for Riley's staff.

We are going to need a thumper to replace Cross next fall. Devine may be the guy but I'm thinking Taylor may step up to be our situational big back.
Really? You don't remember several posters questioning our safety and a couple of other players regarding their effort and perhaps not giving their all for the current staff? Huh. Guess I just have a better memory than everyone else on the board.
Never mad, ever. I'm obviously too cool for that.
I think your problem is you tend to speak in absolutes. Don't say every former bo player is trying to sabotage the program. First of all, not playing your hardest is different than sabotage. But second of all, there were many former bo players who gave it their all. When you speak in absolutes and say every player you are automatically wrong.
And you did it again when you said you have a better memory than EVERYONE else. If you don't speak in absolute terms more people might agree with you.
Harvey Perlman......June 2016.....can I get a big......Hip, Hip.....Hooray!!!!!!!
I think you missed his sarcasm which he used to add emphasis. I have no problem translating as I speak asshole fluently

More than long enough for him to retire on his own terms after he clipped your boy. 408 for life though, and other such things.
I got the sarcasm in his first post. It was his follow up that I was responding to. If he was sarcastic there as well then you are spot on, I missed it.
Did you read the thread about Gerry running into the other player on punt coverage?

Nobody did. You are making it up. It is a fact the thread you describe never happened.
I read that thread and I guess that's a great example of how two people can read the same thing and get two different conclusions.
What I remember are some posters wondering (myself included) if some players were not fully on board with MR and company, and therefore were not following their orders 100% down to the tee, but when I stated it I meant they were still trying to win, they were just trying to win their way because they didn't believe in the coaching staff yet. I really don't remember anyone saying players were trying to intentionally lose games because they were still butt hurt over the coaching change. These is a HUGE difference between ignoring certain play calls and trying to improvise on the fly because you think your way gives you a better chance of winning, and trying to lose games on purpose. If somebody on this board said certain players were trying to lose games on purpose I do not remember it and it would have to be shown to me before I believed it. So I'd say either show me where somebody said it, or quit accusing posters of doing that, because that's a pretty effed up thing to say if not true....and if somebody did say it, and actually meant it, and that it wasn't a joke, I will say "My bad" and never question that statement again.

It wasn't a punt. Gerry ran into and knocked the cornerback off stride on a deep route. And yes, there was a lot of speculation on this board whether he had done that on purpose. (personally, I thought he just took a bad angle and didn't see the cornerback until the last second, but that view didn't fit the agenda some had).
Only a sith speaks in absolutes. Perhaps I am a sith?
I would assume you are smart enough to sniff out hyperbole and understand that I REALLY dont think the crap that I typed, right? Just poking some folks.
However, I do think that i am smarter than everyone else.
He had a hand in firing Pelini. If you were not around, in D Patricks eyes Mark could do no wrong.
I am faaaaaar too lazy to look it up as there is no real gain in proving im right on a message board, but I will stand by how I interpreted many a post, by many a poster and that was some of our players were not only not giving their all, but also trying to sabotage the team. I remember it mainly because it was a steaming pile of bullsh!t to accuse such a thing.
Then I stand by what I said, I don't think anyone really did that. Also, you weren't to lazy to accuse somebody of doing it, seems odd that you're all the sudden to lazy to prove it.
