He must not be in Columbia. No need to burn that redshirt.

Rankin county is a pit.

Not sure what the deal is but

Talking to one of his JC team mates was told he has the physical tools.

has nothing to do with his physical ability. he didn't grasp the playbook. they decided early on to RS him. not going to burn it now

Well how dumb is he then. We can't run block, so he doesn't have to worry about chip blocking, getting to the LB level and seal blocking, or pulling around and blocking---just back peddle and don't let DE around you in pass blocking.

That is a dumb statement... You have no idea how hard or easy it is to learn the offense. Most people that play for Mullen RS. I understand it's not ideal that he's not playing but that does not make him stupid.

This isn't Mississippi high school football we are talking about!Good grief this post is full of stupid!

Just hate seeing Hutcherson situations. All last year I am looking at the roster thinking, whoa we have a Juco 6'7" TE that we are only using for special teams---because everyone said He can't catch, He only had 2 catches in Juco.

Now I feel more comfortable throwing to Hutcherson than Walley even though Walley has been here longer Redshirted and knows the offense.

I am just afraid that Dak will get blindsided and hurt with Malone giving a whiff block. I want to see the Best QB that we have ever had be better protected.

So basically saying Martinez Rankin is NOT stupid and if given the opportunity in a real game, he might just surprise our coaching staff and be a better option than what we did in the 2nd half of this game.

Mullen said Warren and Jenkins both expected to play vs bama. Yeah, probably a good thing our coach doesn't freak out and pull a RS for essentially one half

 

[mount lefroy]

Little better than Hinds. Little worse than Yazoo

 

[bulldogbaja]

He said that? After the game?

 

[AFDawg]

Worse than Yazoo? No way.

People want to act like it's mixing rocket fuel for the Apollo 13. It's not. It's football. Our blocking schemes are not that complex.

 

[NCDawg.sixpack]

Just hope Malone doesn't have to play LT against Alabama. If he does, Dak better forget staying in the pocket.

 

[boatsandhoes]

Yep, that's what I was thinking. Bama is going to be ugly. We won't be able to get -2 per play running it**

You know it's also the d-lines too..MIZZ was running stunts and twists w NFL

talent. Also our schemes are more complex than you know. It's not just pushing a guy around in front of you and the main reason is, in my opinion, is that Rankin will be better than the guys we have, but he may not make a difference in a win loss. He wouldn't have last night, bc we won. Maybe he should have played against LSU, but he didn't. Move on. Fitz/Staley should have a pretty good LT to get them situated into the starting role.

Oh yeah the most important thing actually would be....MULLEN/HEAVSY KNOW WAY MORE THAN YOU! You're a talking head on a message board. Get off your high horse. You don't know **** about the OL and who should play.

Thanks, Gene.

Well, he's not as good as Warren, Senior or Jenkins. I suspect if both Warren and Jenkins had been hurt earlier in the season and/or if they were going to be out longer, Rankin probably wouldn't have redshirted. For everyone freaking out about how bad Malone played at LT, three things. 1) It looks like both Warren and Jenkins will be back for our next game, 2) that was an elite DE he was playing against with little help and he's never played a snap at that position, and 3) we scored 17 points in the first quarter he played at that position so it's not like he crippled the offense.
