    Does anybody know why we have a weapon like Florida has(and they us) in Jeffrey Demps and Brandon James but we never use him or we put him for one play and give him the ball when the defense knows he's getting the ball just like how we used RP and everybody knew he was going to run it. Guess this is TH last season playing football

    I believe you answered your own question.

    James and Demps are every down players in Florida's offense. TH is not in ours.

    this is a little tidbit.

    Don't just assume Trindon will run pro track.

    He is not the best at the 100, because he doesn't have a great finish.

    And there is no 50 M in the Olympics.

    He said he wants to play Arena Ball for a living. And to be honest, I think he would be a force with the running head-start WRs can get.

    Why isn't he a multiple-down player? This guy can change field position or a game with one touch. If we ran PA jet sweeps with this guy, defenses would stop on the dime. He's too good to keep off of the field.

    Good coaches change their game plan to accommodate players. Les has gotten him in some, but I don't feel it's enough to have the defense worried. If you watched Florida in Harvin's freshman season he got about 15 touches a game split between runs and catches when they didn't have open-field playmakers like they do now. He should be in there more often.

    Also, supposedly he cannot run professional track due to his height. This was something I caught during the florida game that I think Lundequist said, and I am not sure of it's accuracy, but I heard it.

    We aren't going to base an offense around a specialty guy. Taking one of our RB's or WR's out for lots of plays just helps the defense.

    In order for him to be effective he would have to be involved in the regular offense and we have better play makers on our team.

    I'd like to see Holiday run straight up field every now and then to see if Lee can bomb it to him. I can't see anyone keeping up with him...

    Who is Trindon going to block when he doesn't get the ball?

    Trindon has returned kicks all year, what has he really done?

    TH may be fast but that hasn't translated into much of anything on the football field.

    An occasional run as fast as he can down the sideline would cool.:geauxtige
