re: Kelly's Strategy with Perkins

I would have him on kickoff and punt formations too if you’re limiting a his play.

Perkins comes in when teams become one dimensional. Kiffin said it himself in the press conference. We knew they had to pass the ball so Perkins plays more. It’s really a simple strategy that has played out the last few weeks

The old rope a dope

In the first half of the game, Perkins plays limited reps to get into the game at LB.

Remind me again whether our first quarter strategies are working.

Then, as teams make second half adjustments, (or not because they are in the lead) Kelly and House move HP into either a pass rusher or a spy.

Agree.

I’m enjoying the ride and trust the coaches, but you can’t continue to get into double-digit deficits every game.

Are you equating true college freshman Harold Perkins to HOFer LT?

The stuff I read on here, smh.

This here.

After this last game there is no strategy with Perkins besides play him and never take him off the field for any reason besides to catch his breath. When the opposing coach names one player as the reason he was defeated you don’t take that player off the field. Sorry to Greg Penn, Mike Jones and West Weeks but Perkins and Baskerville are in another league than them.

I don't care if he has a limited grasp on the scheme. The simple fact, which the entire college football world can see, is that when he's in the game, he's the best player on the field, and we are much better with him in there.

I'm not asking anyone to play him out of position. All I want to see is wherever they decide to slot him in, they let him him play instead of hiding him. Putting ourselves in a hole every week, in order to "surprise" the opponent later in the game would be the dumbest strategy imaginable. That's not 3d chess, or any kind of chess. I do not think this is the strategy. I think they just have a hard time taking a true freshman and putting full trust in him. But they should have learned by now that the alternative is not working. Having him on the field has proven overwhelmingly better than whatever else they've tried.

I don’t want that at all, but let’s say there’s a player and on drives he doesn’t play, the opponent scores a touchdown. And then drives that he does play, the opponent doesn’t score touchdowns. Would you want him to play on drives early in the game, especially when your team has a tendency to go down multiple scores early in games?
