Why is every time we put Trindon in the game we run a release? Why could we not throw him a screen ,wheel route or hand it to him on a draw?
Maybe next year.......

Because the coaches don't trust him to catch

I keep hearing other coaches say how much they fear his speed, I just think we need to get him more touches. I know he may not be as durable as Harvin, but use him somewhat in that manner. maybe we'll let it all hang out vs Arkansas. we need to get something going for next year. Its been a long one.

My 2 cents---I would like to see Trindon get at least 10 to 12 touches a game. Seems like he gets used less and less. Just don't understand.

get him some kind of pass out of the end around. everyone runs his way, easy huge gain.

why not throw him a go route? if he can catch a kickoff and punt he should be able to catch a deep pass

Why not use him as a decoy? Every time he goes in he gets the ball. So predictable and he is so light, he hits the turf if he's barely touched. If you don't decoy him a couple times, then he can't be effective. I realize he can't block, so the decoy play needs to be something quick to the opposite side.

Just like the failure of Miles to use JJ when it seems he could have done as well as Lee if given the chance... Been some bad decisions being made out there.

I think it's pretty obvious this being his junior year, that the coaches are not going to use Trindon the way we think they should.

Bc our coaches are fricking idiots? I mean I love them, but why in the hell wouldn't you get somebody with that speed, the ball 10-12 times a game...

They should bring him in as a decoy occasionally as the coaches did last year. Every opposing team knows when he comes in hes getting the ball, theres no element of surprise at all anymore.

If only he had hands...

They put him in to run the go and he got jammed out of the play so Jefferson had to throw it out of bounds

One of the main reasons florida is so successful this year is because of their trindon like rbs. We should take a page out of their book. Speed kills.

yeah they ran the go route with him on the short side of the field. DB just jammed him out of bounds. It seems like everytime we give him the ball it is to the short side of the field. I understand the concept of playing percentages but not every single time

Trindon is twenty pounds lighter than the Florida RBs. He gets tossed around like a rag doll, they do not. Its pretty simple.
