Dear to RB

[DawgsOnTheWing]

What say The Pack: Should Dear be moved to running back after this season?

If not today

He looks like a Robinson clone. It's disturbing that he wasn't moved there a long time ago. It's not hard to see what his position should be.

I want Dear taking Myles' reps.

 

[J-Dawg]

I still have hope Lee/Williams can get things together. Dear definitely needs more touches in some capacity. He sure looks like a RB.

Even senile Brent can see it

He should be moved there now. Perfect time before we get back into SEC play. I'm not holding my breath though.

Supposedly, he was promised he would play receiver when he was recruited. Whatever position he plays, he needs to start getting more touches. And I think he will be integrated into the offense more as the season progresses.

Someone on here mentioned last week that he does not want to play RB. Apparently this was agreed upon during recruiting. I don't know if that's true but if it is you can't force the move on the kid. We just gotta be creative and get the ball in his hands.

 

[J-Dawg]

You'd think he'd want to be playing where he could get the most touches. Flat out, it doesn't matter what coaches told him during recruiting. If he can help us at another position, he needs to be willing to play it.

That said, it's still probably pretty tough to stick someone at RB who has had no formal training at the position and expect them to produce instantly.

QB and WR are the glamour positions these days. You'd be surprised the number of players who would rather touch the ball 5-8 times a game at WR instead of 15 times a game at RB. I agree, I'd like to see him at RB. But it needs to be a situation where he decides to do it. The trick to breaking recruiting promises is to make the kid think he made the decision.

He said in an interview last week he'll play RB or WR wherever the coaches need him. He said it with a smile. He played a ton of RB in high school. He has plenty of "formal training" and if you watch him run, he has the IT factor. He just needs the ball in his hands.

Dear has had three carries on the year. After two of them my wife has remarked how much he reminds her of JRob. I told her he was a WR. She looked at me like I didn't know what I was talking about.

 

[FlotownDawg]

Dear is listed at 5'9, 220 lbs

Does he really think he has a future at wide receiver with that height and weight? If he wants to play in the pros, it's going to be as an RB. Coaches need to get that through his head and put him in the backfield.

You are what you are and you ain't what you ain't. Malik Dear is a running back whether he believes it or not.

 

[dawgoneyall]

Yes. First address to the team Monday would be "Dear you are now a running back".
