Maybe he did not want to play LB. If that is the case I have no problem with him leaving.
Hicks Still With Team
- Thread starter Mikemarc
- Start date
Who is forcing Hick's out?...I sincerely doubt the staff is forcing him out...Goodwin and Martin have ( when able to) run the ball efficiently...Josh is needed at DB...I think his
team appreciates what he means to them.
He was butt hurt after Greg Jones bi passed him on the depth chart...Clayton still would have played significant minutes and now AGAIN would be the starter...he was moved to a position ( with his permission prior to spring practice) out of necessity...he has a right to question the move but he should have said no before the summer and moved on...Clayton used the personal issue excuse as many do.... it appears the reality is Greg Jones was playing very , very good football at LB for us and beat him out...well hopefully this 4**** finds a team and he gets to play DB Pitt / Temple / seems logical ...
The Guy should be the starting RB or at least get some meaningful carries.
Tell Ash to watch the tape of the Detriot Bowl 2 years ago.
I was there... 200 yard game by Hicks against UNC.
Hicks was the best RB on our roster last season and end of the one before, its crazy what has happened.
Two years ago?...you live in the past...Martin also ran well when we played North Carolina back in the Bowl game...you knew from the spring Martin and Goodwin had passed Hicks ....probably because of their better blocking, receiving and playbook retention... fact is I'm not debating his RB skill set...he was asked to make the switch because of injuries and his time spent at DB in the pinch...he may be the best potentially but this year he hasn't shown that ... M.V.P. awards are meaningless a day after you receive it.... since this is a team game I'm sure Josh Hicks knows this better than you or I...Hope he stays and helps his team but if not maybe he can use the Clayton excuse...Ash isn't changing the direction of which way he has planned out...if you don't see that better realize the Program is primary not an individual player...
Says you as a fan or critic.... only the coaches votes count who plays where not us in the stands or in our living rooms ...Ash has been pro Hicks for awhile now however sometime arm chair coaches only see the abstract and not the entire picture...I would believe their hope is to say, "see I told you so"...Ash knows Hicks is a very , very good back but his running is no good if we don't block upfront or have a QB and wideouts who can catch a ball ...make a play....senseless to try and get people to realize we just aren't very good in too many areas this year...

Because you know Goodwin can go back there?... right...I got it....armchair QB's are a dime a dozen... you certainly are obsessed with your take on things versus the staff's
and teams needs in a very tough situation...again...nobody is saying Hick's isn't better as a runner ( he is ) but he is NOT the receiver that Goodwin is...also...Josh has had issues coughing the ball up which was seen and reported numerous times during the Flood era and current staff...Are you related to the player or a former coach, friend?...I might understand if that were the case...Hopefully he stays and plays well which I'm sure he will...
lol @ people still defending Clayton...the kid (by all accounts, apparently...) QUIT because he wasn't named starter....pathetic that people are giving the staff **** instead of laying the blame where it belongs.
Yes I do, I saw him make an INT and play well vs WSU.
And yes I am friends with parents of a few current and former players.
