Title: Dyer
Post by: Xanusus on September 17, 2011, 05:31:33 PM
Why are we using Dyer so sparingly? They didn't stop him once all day. Is he in some trouble with the coaches? It makes zero sense for him to stay on the sidelines like he did today especially when he is dominating like he was. I simply can't believe that Malzahn would choose not to run him with the day he was having.

I really wish we wouldn't perpetuate this "in trouble with the coaches" idea. 

He did play.  He got 11 carries and 151 yards.  They gave him the ball on the one yard line on 3rd down.

Chizik's been a strict disciplinarian since he got to Auburn.  I can't see him dishing out a punishment that goes "You're in the doghouse, so we're only going ot use you when we need you."

I'm hearing it other than here too, but as you pointed out, that's not the way to deal with it.  It makes no sense.

It's the same rumor jumping from board to board
Obviously, Dyer is getting a semi-DJ Hall punishment, but instead of just the first half, he is being benched on critical plays, specifically coincident with the OC's brain farts

Does it have anything to do with a concussion Dyer had during fall practice.

Of course not....it's all about the coaches not liking Dyer, eventhough he had another huge game. (16 carries 151 yards 2 tds)

Yeah I hope he learned his lesson after his punishment of becoming the SEC's leading rusher.

I don't know what it is, but there's something not quite right when he doesn't get the start, and averages just under 10 yards a carry and gets only 16 carries.  And there was opportunity for more.  He needs 20+ a game.

It does seem they are enamored with OM. I like him in the game SOME, but he is not an SEC every down back. TM is still young. Dyer is a damn horse. Ride him, or pay the price like we did today.
