I'd say a lot of the reason his plays have been limited is because of his erratic play with penalties and general lack of leadership. He should be a leader on this young team, yet he has shown none of those qualities. His penalties for unnecessary roughness have killed scores and cost them dearly in their struggles. I would love to see him come around and become the player he has the potential to become, but he hasn't shown it yet. Plus, he needs to quit doing that weak showboating celebration routine whenever he does anything on the field. I know I shouldn't be so critical of a kid, but too much inflation of his importance has been stated on this thread for me to lay off. Watch the game, and see for yourself what he contributes on the field, not much thus far except some key penalties cracking back on the smallest kid on the field thirty yards from the ball.

OTF, when you only dress 18 players you need every body you can get in a uniform. I've got to see him play twice and I thought the kid plays hard but doesn't play enough on both sides of the ball. Give him some time and then if he doesn't live up to your expectations you can express what you think. If i were playing on that team I would probably have a few penalities too just out of frustration of losing and being on the rehab road as he has been for a while now. Some kids aren't born leaders and the ones that are not don't want to be, this group is being led by freshmen now and will be untill they graduate. I hate losing just as it sounds like you do but at least give him and the team a break, they only dress 18.
