ScottyIce Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 2 hours ago, StPaulHusker said: Not buying in and not quite getting it are 2 different things. As far as not buying in, I don't think it would be a starter because I really don't think with expectations so low Frost would start someone that didn't. So that maybe leaves someone on the 2nd string? As far as not getting it, there might be a couple OL, a DB, and a LB that the light hasn't completely come on for. You're a little off base. As a Coach, I expect my reserves to be 100% involved in a game. So they could be completely talking about people who have 0% chance of seeing the field. If I'm on point here, expect guys who aren't BOUGHT-IN to be left in Lincoln this weekend and us to make a big splash in Ann Arbor (if Martinez plays). 2 Quote Link to comment

I would like to see boe wilson step it up and move farmer to C. conrad should be a reserve. Move Wilson to LG, Farmer to C, Farniok to RG, Conrad to RT and slide out the actual weak link of the O-line. Quote Link to comment
gorp512 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Is Farmer any good? Love what he says. 1 Quote Link to comment

I much preferred the days when they refused to talk and simply put their products on display on the field. Farmer may be well spoken etc. but I'd prefer their play was up to snuff and not have the sunshine blown up my back side. Add L. Jackson, he needs to stay away from any microphone Quote Link to comment

Who blamed the loss on the guys who haven't bought in? He said guys not buying in CAN be the difference between losing and winning, he didn't say they are strictly the reason. Quote Link to comment

I doubt Mikale Wilbon has much impact. But you have your theory. I have mine Quote Link to comment

Therefore their "buy in" doesn't really matter St Paul, I will humbly say, it does matter, even if the athletes do not see any action. Every player needs to be engaged in the game, calls, flow, practice meetings, meals, classes, film room, learning why things work, or why things are happening the way they are, how to evaluate a mistake, so when they get thier chance, they already recognize situations. Maybe your comment is being misunderstood, here? 3 1 Quote Link to comment

I was trying to understand the logic of the post I quoted. The only player that was replaced was Foster at LG. Quote Link to comment
