The staff has realized that Emery is the best back of the three, right?

I'll lose my shite on Saturday if we don't try to establish a run game that includes Emery.

I think winning the time of possession game will benefit our defense. Honestly, i think this is what hurt last years defense early in the season.

What exactly is "the bulk" in this year's offense? 5 carries? If we give up on the run as quick as we did Saturday, no one will have more than a few.

100% they keep their moron rotation.

1. Curry gets 1st drive
2. Davis-Price gets 2nd drive
3. John Emery gets 3rd drive

I know Curry has 18, but that doesn't mean he should be getting first go. Richard Murphy wasnt the starter in 2010 and he was #18.

Time to put the best players in and ride with them instead of giving everyone equal touches.

YOu have to stick with the hot runner. Last week Price was running good and then they held him out and he lost his mojo for good.

Should be Emery, find your horse and ride it. You can not have balance and control a game by rushing the ball 16 times in 68 plays. He also gives you the best opportunity to keep D honest in pass game.

I’m curious if SE will continue his adjustment of a team bringing pressure by Rolling MB out of the pocket. Instead of attacking over the middle with quick reads from LBs blitzing, he rolls the pocket. This cuts the field down way too much to be affective. This was his go to adjustment in 18, it’s not affective

I’ll go with Brennan, 4 sacks and 2 scrambles for 3 yards. He’ll get the bulk with his 6 carries.

I agree. But, I think part of helping our defense out is keeping the ball away from our opponents offense.

Win the clock game and Florida has fewer chances to score.

The running back Corp might have 4 carries all game so it doesn’t matter.

Unless O does a complete 180 on scheme

NOT EMERY.

Anyone but that guy.

All JE4 does is get 8yd chunks and make people miss. We need someone who runs hard to get that yard or less. If we have any success with running it will take away from our identity of a pass only offense.

Emery should get 50% of the snaps.

Davis-Price & Curry should each get 25%.

I was all aboard the Curry hype train this offseason but I see no logic to what they've been doing. Rotating series among 3 backs allows nobody to get into a rhythm. And even at that, it should be Emery, TDP, Curry.. in that order. In other words, Curry shouldn't get many carries. TDP should come in on short yardage or goal line and Emery should get the bulk of the reps.

If we can all see this, why can't the coaches? Or are we missing something?
