Exactly. On the other hand, it is clear Rhule is the ultimate culprit here. In the era of NIL you can’t recruit quality athletes at any position without money. Rhule has refused to cough up money for a running back. So Barthel is working under a handicap.
Like I mentioned Rhule listens to much to pat Stewart nu gm who was washed up with the patriots, Stewart believes running backs are not a priority, I’ll add it was Dana who wanted Emmett to get more playing time his sophomore season wasn’t ej

The OC basically decides playing time for the position player based on play calling and scheme. So Emmett not playing was more on Satterfield than the RBs coach .

While I agree I always find it funny when coaches preach about building young men and helping them through life...

Then tossing them out when they **** up.
They won't. They can't. It's their horse, but he won't be here after the season. He's not good enough.

I was just going to post how stupid it was to rely on a guy who had been "benched" multiple times last season for behavior. Now said guy is caught abusing a pregnant woman, same guy Rhule decided was reliable enough, to skip getting a transfer portal rb. Bad look.
This will have blown over by the first game.

No it’s not . The OC watches the players and they know what player has the ability to run certain things. The OC designs packages for certain plays . So yes they are basically deciding playing time.
No, they rely on the judgement of their position coach. Sure there are packages for players. But we don't have that. Except for maybe Barney and that hasn't been a rousing success.

The OC ( Dana ) has the final word on playing time . If he wants a certain RB WR TE on the field the position coach gets trumped.
I didn't say anything differently, but you dont rely on the judgements of your position coach? Ahh, you're a spring game hype guy.

Sure you did you said my post was wrong when the said the OC decides playing time. The Position coach can chime in all he wants but it’s the OCs decision.

Obviously, the OC decides playing time. The position coach can chime in? Have you ever led anything?

Look . The thread is about our RB getting in trouble. Then it turned on EJ being a terrible RB coach who didn’t play Emmett until Dana got here. All I said was it was Satterfield who didn’t want Emmett on the field more than EJ .

That's not what Dana said in one of the pressers since he's been here. I can't remember when/which it was but he said the position coach is who determines who's on the field and what the rotation is.

I'm curious, do you think Mozee and Barney are similar or that one makes a whole lot more sense to have as a running back?
similarly slight builds and shifty play styles

i know mozee played RB in high school, but he was recruited as a WR

point is we've already plucked a couple dudes from other position groups just to fill out the RB room

Yeah ditch this a$$hole... good riddance.


This domestic spat was FAR from some of the stuff we’ve seen over looked in the past. He’ll probably sit for some early games and that will be the end of it. My guess is the baby mama is gonna get paid and she’ll disappear. He really screwed up his life messing with her in the first place.
