Most plays, even under Hoke, have not had a FB. It would be more useful to add a 3rd WR or blocking TE (AJ Williams makes the team!) or 3rd down RB.<br /><br />The way I see it is you have 4 "specialist" spots:<br /><br />FB: Kerridge<br />TE(blocking): Kwiatkowski<br />RB (3rd down): Smith<br />3rd WR: Funchess <br /><br />If that's too nuanced, I'd just drop Kerridge and add Funchess as a flex WR/TE. I'd consider adding Dileo but if Hemingway and Gallon are on the field already, Funchess brings more to the table IMO.Lanknowsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-4622864051455560202014-12-06T10:47:24.161-05:002014-12-06T10:47:24.161-05:00It's no coincidence that Gardner looked a lot ...It's no coincidence that Gardner looked a lot better in 2012 when the OL was better.

I love me some Fitzgerald Toussaint, but let's be honest here.<br /><br />Funchess was not as clutch as Hemingway, and there's no way Dileo belongs on an "all-star team" with only two receivers. He never had more than 20 catches, 331 yards, or 2 touchdowns.Thunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09708792562446136381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-51229217172280162742014-12-06T08:56:24.566-05:002014-12-06T08:56:24.566-05:00Yes...and if I make a list in another three to fiv...Yes...and if I make a list in another three to five years, it will be mainly Hoke guys. Everyone on the list was a senior, redshirt junior, or redshirt sophomore. Players are generally not stars when they are young, which is why experience (and added size/muscle/speed) is so valued.Thunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09708792562446136381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-57525157953205996462014-12-06T08:52:27.070-05:002014-12-06T08:52:27.070-05:00The thing with Gardner/Robinson is that if you hav...The thing with Gardner/Robinson is that if you have a run game, then Gardner probably isn't as bad. They couldn't run the ball (for the most part) in 2013, so there was a lot of pressure on Gardner. Robinson would have been just as bad - or worse - because he was not really a scrambler. If Robinson was supposed to pass on a play, he did - good or not. There are a lot of things Gardner did poorly, but one of the things he did well was pull the ball down and run (at least when he was healthy).<br /><br />It would always help to have a Rimington Trophy winner on your team. I think Jack Miller was decent this season. I thought the problems in 2014 were more about the tackles.Thunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09708792562446136381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-46985475278831374322014-12-05T21:24:43.991-05:002014-12-05T21:24:43.991-05:00Can we see Magnus' All-Bo, All-Mo, and All-Llo...Can we see Magnus' All-Bo, All-Mo, and All-Lloyd teams as well?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-29042264714762646232014-12-05T20:12:04.511-05:002014-12-05T20:12:04.511-05:00Yep, and hoke was their coach.

If anything, it should be a good thing that a new coach can come in and win with another coaches recruits... If not I'm sure this guy would be trying to dog Hoke for not winning with those guys. <br /><br />Some people will never be saitisfied, jeez.

But the premise is the Gardner you're putting on the field here is the "good Gardner" ... the one who keeps mistakes to a minimum. If you have to take the good with the bad, then the scale might tip a bit more back to Robinson.<br /><br />I wonder how much different things would have been had we a center each year of Molk's caliber? It just seems some of our offensive line problems of late started at the C position and went out from there.DonAZnoreply@blogger.com
