I'd almost rather not have running clocks the next few games. Yes, there's something positive about getting rest and getting playing time for backups. But Belfry's strength is their stable of backs. In order to use them, they need a line with as many reps as possible to determine the best way to work together.

Yes, it would have been nice to win the last 2 games. But Belfry essentially stuck to their "bread and butter" and hopefully determined how to pull the o-line together. These are good, talented kids, but for the most part, young. Hopefully the staff now sees what needs work and can use the next few weeks to pull it together.

Throw in a QB with 2 games under his belt this year, and I'd like him to get as many reps as well. I like his passing ability, when it's used. And I think he can scramble very well if needed. But that all ties in with the line with both protection for the QB and holes for the backs.

So, I'd like sustained drives that can be used to develop those breakaway runs we hope to see in the post season. I believe in the "get better one game at a time" approach. Game reps will be a key to that.

I agree with this. I think we need a balance of our starters getting more reps and some quality reps for the reserves.
