Splitting Carries

I think Wilson proved he can be productive. If the coaches felt he wouldn't be productive I think there'd be a chance he'd redshirt. Every RB has dealt with some sort of injury in the past other than Wilson. Some more severe than others. I'd rather have too many RB's than not enough.

I too feel Wilson can be very productive. I would just consider redshirting him especially with the new rules and would pull the redshirt instantly if one of the three had a long-term injury.

This is all based on Dunn and Brooks being 100% healthy. I really felt Brooks was the most explosive last year with the best vision of the three.

I don't think Brooks is close to 100%healthy heading into fall camp.

I think redshirting Wilson would be a mistake. By necessity, it was pulled last year and he missed half a season. If he is needed for more than four games and has to have it pulled again that's more of this guys talent down the drain.

[Snowgoose]

I agree with what your saying but you could argue he is being wasted by not redshirting and averaging 4-5 carries this year when he could average 15 carries a year his senior year.

Not to mention how difficult it may be on Wilson mentally to keep shifting back and forth from red shirting and practice squad killer to go win us a championship. I know they're all working their butts off but there is some mental gymnastics behind that. Too talented to keep off the field. A lot of his use in the backfield may depend on how dunn's hip looks and Brooks heals up.

Really? Why not?? Did you get the text or something???

Before Dunn got hurt he was a lock for first team Valley and likely a plethora of All American honors. In my mind, Dunn's the horse with Anderson being 1a. However, neither will likely be the feature back and will just rotate series with a healthy dose of Brooks mixed in. We won quite a few Natty's with that method so it works for me!

Just heard that he didn't participate much in summer workouts.
