re: What to do about John Emery?

Emery has too much talent at this time to give up on him. We will need him to perform with the very thin running backs out right now. It’s probably more mental that he fumbles as often as he does. Clean that up and he’s a potential steal for someone in the draft. The flip side though is he cannot afford to hurt us with fumblelitis in the big upcoming games. He needs to have two huge mistake free games coming up.

They should make him carry the ball all week on campus like the movie "The Program"

I’m thinking something more along the lines of Gene Hackman piling the stick-um on Orlando Jones’ hands in The Replacements.

Move him to LB or revoke his scholarship after the season. He CAN’T hold onto the ball. I’m not blaming him; he just can’t.

That's retarded. His 2 TD catches in huge games were plays that nobody else on the roster could have scored. Likely not anyone since Clyde could make those catch/runs if you actually saw these plays. He came out the back field, had to turn back to catch the ball, reposition body towards endzone, accelerate, break a tackle, and score.

Casual fans take kinda of play from a RB for granted when they see NFL RBs like Kamara make it look routine. It ain't. At all.

His fumbling can be fixed while his natural talent can't be coached.

Emery is lucky we are thin at rb otherwise he may get any carries

Remember the Lester Hayes days? LoL
"Stick Em"??
