Or work harder to move up the depth chart and earn more reps. 

Honest question. Has any player on offence worked hard enough to move up? Are is it the same starters?

Only changeto me was Karic at TE.

Campbell did. Brooks did.

Blue is overrated. 

His work ethic is certainly in question.

 

[Eastexhorn]

Campbell did. Brooks did.

Brooks played offence?

Brooks played offence?

I think he meant Johnathon Brooks.  I would add Casey Cain as well.

 

[BruiseLee]

Well, that's what happens when you're stuck behind a Sr, 2 Jr's, a RS-FR (or So) and you didn't play your Sr year of HS.

I truly believe he would've got playing time if he was better than anyone else on the roster.  So, I have to think that he was not at their level at all.  I'm not just talking about running the ball.  I have to think that maybe the staff did not trust him in pass pro or even knowing the playbook.  Anyone can run the damn ball, but not everyone can play RB.

What's funny is that next year with Bijan and Roschon gone, he should have PLENTY of opportunities to see the field.

Blue is overrated. 

Before he skipped sr year he was rated nation top running back

 

[Eastexhorn]

Has Blue ceclared for portal or just chatter?

 Cain yes J. Brooks no

Wasn’t the freshman CB that played so well in the bowl game named Brooks ? 
That kid played a hell of a game, and has definitely worked his way into the lineup

Yes, Terrence Brooks.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

 Cain yes J. Brooks no

You like Brooks because he's developed into a very good back. So Brooks, yes.

 

[Billybass]

Terrance Brooks, yes. Thank you. That young man played a damn good game. 
As a freshman. 
Totally developed by our staff. 
And if he keeps playing like that, we will have a stud CB for a while

lYes I like Brooks. But we were talking about moving up by work and practice. Fourth string is not much movement.

I noticed both QE and XW dont wear any knee pads, not sure if Bijan was the same way, but these guys are playing with fire and risking career ending injuries without them....or am I being the " get off my lawn guy" 

From the linked article:

"A study was conducted by the University of Florida, in which players were subjected to knee injuries while wearing knee pads and without them. The results showed that players were less likely to get injured with their knees if they weren’t wearing any knee pads."

Isn’t that crazy ? I remember ALWAYS wearing knee pads. 
And coaching youth league, knee pads were mandatory. 
I guess times have changed.

It's only one study. It could be totally bogus. Reading the linked article, it appears that some players don't wear knee pads because it's not manly. I'm not sure I believe that either.
