Where is Adam Taylor?

Mary Pats BOB

Five-Star Recruit
Every back down to Ozigbo played last night but I have seen hide nor hair of #28. Is he hurt or suspended? Just fell off the face of the earth.

Maybe he's not completely recovered from last years injury. Where's that Katy poster, I'm sure he'll tell us it's some kind of conspiracy.

 
Really surprising. I know HS film doesn't always translate but damn that kid had some of the best HS RB film I have seen. All those damn knee injuries can't help though

 
His absence has been the biggest surprise of the season thus far to me. I was really expecting this to be his breakout year, along with Alonzo Moore.

Yeah, I've hear this same thing on various college and pro teams, where some supposedly stud RB is riding the bench.

Apparently if you can't or won't stop the first defender from reaching your quarterback, you are a liability in the backfield.

Don't understand that. His skill set could at least be used in other forms. Unless he's just not that good.

 
It's still pretty early. The competition is looking better than expected. It's no slam that he's not playing. At least not yet.

 
Another reason why Flexbone and or Troy Calhoun's offense would utilize every RB we have. Every single recruited RB would see the the field and our walk on's would provide decent depth. Instead, we are featuring 1 RB and giving no one else any time. I guess I don't believe in having anyone tote the rock 30 times a game. Stat totals wouldn't be there but it's a damn team game. The score is all that matter, and team stats. I hate individual stats.

A Backs - Wilbon, Stevenson, Newby, Taylor, Nelson

B Backs - Cross, and Ozigbo, Nabity

Regardless, it's pretty well known and assumed that Riley isn't going to coach more than 5-7 years. By then, we'll have his system in place, and then we'll move to a new coach because he retired, and if it's not Langsdorf....then we have to go through the growing pains of putting a new system in place. If Riley can't make things happen I fear that NU is 10 years away from being a contender of any kind.

So, here's hoping we get some great OLine developed and find some elite DB's because those are the 2 main pieces to making this work from what I see.

 
He's not good enough to play running back ahead of our other running backs. Why is this so hard to understand for some people?

Well if you go by last night's game apparently the only running back worthy of considerable playing time is Terrell Newby. Does not compute...

It could be that Adam is having difficulty getting into game shape after missing a year with injury and redshirting the previous year.
