I’ll stand by the Emmitt Smith comparison and he will have another 200 yard game this season. 

That’ll be tough if they keep reducing his role, which is borderline nonexistent at this point. 

Key words, at this point. He gets one drive and they go 6 plays for a TD and then doesn't play the rest of the game. At some point Coen is going to have to realize Tucker unlocks the offense.

sorry, Thomas Jones.

 

JC, Tucker has a promising future but every season you create a passion play over some unrealized or held back talent.  Now, one of your guys has joined you because it is difficult to explain Bucky without a Coen conspiracy.

But, you now have Biggs even saying "your dumb" to both of you.

Think about THAT for a second!

RB's don't have futures. It's a young man's position. 

The NFL is loaded with unrealized and held back talent. I've given this board dozens of examples and you guys still can't wrap your heads around the fact that sometimes the better players are on the bench.

Scotty Miller?

Mike Glennon?

 

JC, yes sometimes there are talented people on the bench but the "Licht is incompetent because this hidden star isn't playing" is your troll.

A tired one at that

I get what you’re saying. 

Just afraid it’s going to take another injury for him to get the additional snaps he deserves.

There aren’t conspiracies, consistently applied, to keep really productive players OFF the field. 

I think it’s situationally driven, I believe coaches can get locked into personnel packages that are favorites. But the idea that certain players (ie, Kyle Trask last season & now Sean Tucker) are being purposely discriminated against for whatever purpose - is just silly.

When I saw that Tucker wasn’t part of the 1st half plan - I had begun to think we might use Tucker as a second-half surprise - and sure enough he opened it that way.

I think Coen is using the weapons he has as well as he can right now.

But what happened after that? Tucker for 3. Tucker for 6. Tucker for 5 plus the 15. Then icedddddd.

What was the situation? Did we need to pass? Did we need a big back to assist in blitz pick-up? White is the only one who has the body-mass to do that consistently & effectively - the other backs may be more productive, but Tucker’s not much bigger than Bucky…

Like I said before (and you begrudgingly agreed), if Bucky received the same treatment after a 200-yard, multi-TD performance; you would be livid. 

And, you’ve already provided your own “conspiracies” talking about possible trade, etc.

Again, it’s within the perspective of situational football.

The conspiracy you suggest, would be on Coen, your pick as the future HC.

Nope.

White - 6’ 0” & 214 lbs

Tucker - 5’ 10” & 205 lbs

Irving - 5’ 10” & 195 lbs

Plus, White has proven to be a more effective back in blitz pick-up.
