  • "So we’ve played them now and now we’ll use them."

    This is the most important part of the quote. Unfortunately it was followed up by this:

    "We’ll get them a little more involved possibly."

    I guess the emphasis was on the "possibly" there. No two ways around it, it was a coaching mistake to let Kings burn his redshirt and then not find ANY way to utilize his skill set.

    The players are redshirting their tails off and the coaches are screwing it up!

  • I didn't read the whole thing, kind of depressing with the opening remarks.

    Two observations or changes I really hope to see.

    1) OC has to change, I know that everyone wants this to happen, I don't think it will happen, I'll be ecstatic if it does happen, especially if Dantonio decides to break the mold and go outside his current staff. You can't have that many players upset, or even thinking about being upset, it will hurt recruiting and hurt the morale of the team overall. I feel bad for Kings, he wanted to be like K-Mart, and he is kind of ignored all year.

    2) I don't know who makes the decision on who plays and who doesn't play, but I'd like to see more 2nd stringers or lower classmen get into the lineups at times. This goes back a while. I don't recall seeing backup QB's getting a lot of playing time prior to the year they are supposed to take over. I don't know why we are only using Bell when we have 3 other RB's that aren't redshirting. Our whole offense had a makeover and no one was prepared to play realtime football. On the D side of things I swear that underclassmen get a chance to get into the game. What the hell happens during practices?

    Those two things frustrate me, but there isn't really anything I can do, so I try not to waste too much time and energy thinking about them. Dissapointing year, and if we want any other players from out of state, it would help to make the ones that come to MSU with no ties to the school happy. I don't mean we have to cater to them, but holy hell do I feel bad for Kings. Moves 1200 miles away, or however far it is, has all kinds of dreams and aspirations, and they kind of get wasted in the first year.

    This coaching staff has been a CF this season... Kings is upset, Arnett is upset, Bell is annoyed. Seriously. WTF was the point in burning Kings redshirt... At least let him run back kicks instead of having KYLER FUCKING ELSWORTH back there!

    Argee. Fucking second rate program.

    Are you that dense? Coaches make the decision, not players.

    3 pretty damning strikes against roushar in one piece. From a star recrtuit, star layer and the head coach.

    It also seems to me the writer knows a lot more about Reynolds than he's either letting on or allowed to print, and reading between the lines, goodbye to Reynolds.

    Hard to be mad at Reynolds. Kid looked to have potential, only to be moved back and forth between offense and defense.

    What person isn't going to want to play in a college football game? Of course they said yes. The problem is that the coaches are supposed to strategically use personnel to get the most out of them during their 4 years of playing at MSU. If Dantonio knew that Kings would be used sparingly throughout the year, he shouldn't have given him the option of burning his redshirt.

    Notice how the coaching staff has raved about Cox. They didn't give him the option of losing a year of eligibility for a couple of snaps in garbage time

    And.... we have a winner!
    Kings will naturally want to play, trusting the coaches to continually use his talent throughout the year once he opted to use up the RS year. I really dont know who is more culpable in wasting Kings' RS year= Roushar or MD. Kings has been more than excited and supportive of the program up to now, and who could blame him for being peeved?
