Maybe this means we are going to start rolling him out of the pocket instead of running it up the middle Every. Single. Time.

 

[DancingRabbit]

Mike Detillier is the only one who's said that. Maybe he has, but before

he got dinged up in the Kentucky game he was plenty fast.

He didn't look much different in the video from media days but he does look a little slimmer in that Manning academy shot.

A few less runs up the middle would probably be a good thing.

I lost my mind last year during the egg bowl when at some point late in the game, we had 4th and about 3 in OM territory, and Dan calls a timeout to discuss. We had just run Dak up the gut on a 3rd and short to get to that point, and it was pretty much do or die time for us.

So a couple minutes later, the team runs back onto the field, lines up, and what's the play call? Dak up the gut for virtually no gain. I was convinced at that point that Mullen had given up

That is Dan's go to call on 3rd/4th and short. Was at FL, still is here. Everyone in the stands, sidelines, and everyone on the field know what's coming. His 11 against their 11. Who wants it more. I wish he'd find another go to play.

Yes, a few less but well timed runs up the middle would definitely be a good thing.

Yep. When UF lined up for Tebow's run up the middle on 4th and 2 against Mississippi, I was practically screaming at my TV don't do it. I knew he was going to do it, everyone in the stands knew he was going to do it, the UM defense knew he was going to do it. That's just who Dan Mullen is and it's not going to change. Overall, I'll still take him though.

 

[coach66]

He wasn't the same player after the KY game and it hurt us down the stretch

along with our bad safety situation. I wouldn't mind seeing some packages put in for Fitz and Staley for short yardage and take some of that burden off Dak. Fitz and Staley both go 6'5 or better and over 230LBS. It would give them some good experience and maybe keep the Dak fresher.

It's a 110 heat index every day, all of MS should be losing weight.

I'll say it again, Prescott is really going to turn some heads this fall with his passing. Everything I saw from him this Spring made me say "Where was that last fall?". He is absolutely the total package at this point, and I would not have said that at this time last year.

Having said that, I think 3rd and 3 is a passing down next year. We are going to be tough to stop.

he got dinged up in the Kentucky game he was plenty fast.

He has progressively gotten slower since the 2013 season. From what I remember, he looked really immobile in the spring game.

Maybe we will see more of this: @3:04

 

[DancingRabbit]

Didn't look immobile to me in the spring game. He scrambled for a couple good

runs and scrambled to get the pass off several times.

There were no called run plays for Dak so he didn't run as much as normal. Against good competition he will still tote the rock but it may be scaled back some.

I guess you missed that run against LSU last year where he pulled away from everyone.

 

[121Josey]

I guess you missed that run against LSU last year where he pulled away from everyone.

I definitely missed the one where he pulled away from everyone.

 

[Requiem For A Dawg]

He ran past their defensive backfield and linebackers.

 

[treeddeep]

Dak lost his speed when Mullens lost the locker room *

 

[121Josey]

He ran past their defensive backfield and linebackers.

I guess that's why he ran from the middle of the field to right pylon. #discombobulated

The infuriating part was, that was after he had gotten up-ended and landed on his head when he got hit after the whistle. I'm not so sure he was all there on that 4th down run.

No way!!A college football player in the south looking slimmer a few weeks before camp starts?No damn way!

 

[fishwater99]

Mullen didn't give up he is just too damn stubborn and arrogant to change or he is and idiot. You decide.

 

[patdog]

He's definitely not an idiot. But he is going to run a 230-lb QB up the middle on 3rd and short. It's just in his DNA. Just like trying 50+ yard field goals with an erratic kicker is in Nick Saban's DNA. You've got to take the good with the bad with any coach. Overall, I'll take Dan Mullen any day. I would like to see fewer Dak runs up the middle this fall, but I'm not optimistic about that.

I agree.
