I’ve always been a person who believes you can’t take what is being said directly as truth. I worked at Toyota for 28 years. They were more honest than some American companies. You could not believe one word they told us though.
We are not expanding. At the same time pouring concrete out back for an expansion.
You must alway try to read between the lines for what is actually happening.
When reading Cutters comments, one thing jumped out at me. “ We have great guys with great attitudes,, Especially the younger guys.
What that says to me is the older guys are not providing leadership. Alabama, Georgia and others have seen as they pay their older stars, the production and leadership disappear with all that cash in their pockets. Older guys don’t have to wait and produce for that NFL payday. They are already making NFL money.
The level of play is dropping. There are no super executing teams anymore. Alabama looks disorganized. Georgia too. Stupid mistakes that were not made before being paid millions.
NIL has caused parity, but only because the elite teams are playing much worse.

They were patting him on the helmet to encourage him and showed more love to him than I’ve ever saw for Leary or BVG.

They were rallying around him

Is it just me or does Barrion continually look to always break to the outside, even when it looks like he could break inside for a few more yards on a jet sweep? There was one play, in particular, in the Texas game where I think he could have picked up 5 yards or so and opted to break to the sideline and only got two yards.

Earlier in the year and last year, he would often make a cut to the inside of the blocking WR and cut upfield for his yardage. Now, he seems to be solely trying to break it to the edge -- in essence, to simply outrun all of the defense.

I know he has the speed and there might be questionable WR blocking, but it really seems like the last few games where Bush called a jet sweep with Barrion, he has given up available yardage by not cutting back into the field. Almost as if he is avoiding cutting upfield.

Just wondered if anyone is seeing what I am seeing.
