Wake Forest Football Offseason Discussion

It has been the same problem for the past decade. We need a quality OL. The RBs and QBs struggle because of the OL more than anything else.

Isn't there some four star fourth year junior lineman buried on the bench at somewhere like Alabama who would like to come to Wake and start?
 
Wake Football Offseason Discussion Thread

This was Hinton's first live game action since his injury, it's not surprising that he didn't throw the ball all that well. I'm on the #JamieNewmanbandwagon but there is a slim-to-none chance he'll be our starter, and that's fine. We have two capable quarterbacks who can do what needs to be done to get us to a bowl game (and win that bowl game).

EDIT: to clarify that by #JamieNewmanBandwagon I mean I think he's going to be an absolute stud for us but I don't know when that will be.

Interesting note there that Byrd may be out for the Spring Game.

I really hope not, but Byrd so far has seemed like the exact same chain of events that led to Rocky Reid underachieving

From the little I know of Byrd, particularly his high school clips coupled with what has been written about him, it has been my hope that he would be THE BACK that will combine strength, agility and break away speed. A Josh Harris who actually runs over people as well as past people.

If he is unable to see the field that would be bitterly disappointing.

Even without him, however, the RB position seems stronger than at any time since Grobe earliest years.

Two articles in the WSJ on Carney and the RB's and the second on the Secondary.

Easy to forget Colburn had more yards in fewer carries although it does include Delaware. Colburn had a nice season as well.

He's got a mild shoulder injury not requiring surgery. One or two weeks. Why would you say "f he is unable to see the field that would be bitterly disappointing"?

Because that would be "bitterly disappointing"!

I do expect him to play; but then I have expected Hinton to play much more than he has to this point.
 
But you're inflating the seriousness of his "injury". There is no sense that he will miss Fall camp or any of the season. I'm just not following your choice of words.

Totally agree....when i first heard about his injury i thought about Rocky Reid....whether it be shoulder, knee or high ankle sprains, they are nagging injuries that takes time to heal which will dropkick him on the depth chart..i hope for the best...dont think he's been near 100% since being here...young man has alot of talent...
