No mention of Greg here from the game today?

I thought this was kinda odd, but cool: After Greg's first carry, the announcer said "That was Greg Bryant, carrying for a first down on his first collegiate carry." Don't think I've ever heard them mention something like that in the stadium for players in the past. He got limited carries, but I thought he was running hard. Looking for great things in the future from him.

Heard from my guys last night that he was VERY unhappy with how long it took him to get in the game...

I can see a scenario where Kelly makes it clear the back ups won't play a lot and the backups not being happy with that.

My impression was that he expected to get in earlier and got more and more upset as the game went on and he remained on the sideline. And no, sadly my guys aren't Carlos's people, but I'll bet they'd know who to talk to if they needed to 'get someone'...

My only question is why play Bryant for one hand-off in the 4Q and not give him a chance during the game?

Because he is obviously lower on the depth chart, or Kelly isn't showing something.

I'd lean towards the assumption that his one carry was on "his drive", they put Tarean in the next drive to make sure he also got some experience, and would have put Bryant in if there was more time left in the game, rather than assuming BK's got something up his sleeve (as happy as that would make me). Based on how much we threw the ball yesterday, I'm willing to bet both Bryant and Folston are stuck behind the 3 vets right now for playbook and pass pro reasons alone, and later on when they 'get it', the depth chart will start to reflect ability and talent instead (not saying they'll beat out anybody, just saying I doubt they've had a real shot yet).

Well, hopefully he'll continue to work his arse off to beat out the guys who have been paying their dues now for a couple of years in the Blue and Gold.

BK said the other day that after week 6 is when freshman RBs usually make an impact.

I understand him being upset, but.......he's a frosh, who is playing his first collegiate game, and should understand that there will be a time for him.......

Sorry if people are touchy about this subject, I'm not trying to stir anything up here... jeez. heard what I'd consider gossip from my friends on the team, thought you people might be interested, so I posted it. Call bs or whatever you want I'm not here to spread panic, just trying to contribute, unfortunately its not the happiest post in this thread. and for the record the only other site I've ever been on is one foot down, so I'm gonna go ahead and ignore that last post magogian.

I'm not trying to bust your balls. It's it's true, I hate to hear that he's unhappy already, have a little patience, GB, your time is coming soon!

If he was seriously unhappy with how long it took to get in (which I highly doubt) then the dude will end up being a cancer.

This sounds like chubler is trying to stir up s$*# and I doubt it is true.

Just because he was unhappy with how long it took him to get in in game one doesn't mean he's going to be a cancer.

The guy probably knows he's more athletic than anyone ahead of him and he wants to show his talents and help his team win.

I'm not saying there' no way he'll be a cancer, but you can't derive at that because he wanted to get in sooner. All of the fans wanted him in sooner too.

This is probably moot, though, because I'd be surprised if him and Folsont don't start seeing the ball much more.

if Greg is unhappy, he certainly didn't make it known to social media

I did exactly that, but I tried to put it in by 'inserting image' on irish envy. I figured I had to do that since there's a photo.

Anyways, thanks!

Tony Alford isn't going to allow this kid to stray from working hard and being an asset to this team. I have no doubt GB will get his time real soon.

Maybe it was just me, but I feel like Amir, GB, and Folston showed more promise than Cam and GA. Not that I think Cam and George can't contribute. I just feel like the three mentioned are on another level. It won't surprise me one bit to see Amir the primary back with GB and Folston taking reps the rest of the time. It'll be fun to watch.

As far as these rumors go, I'm not buying it. Sure kids may get discouraged w/ lack of playing time but it doesn't mean they're looking to transfer. If anything, Greg seems like the type of competitor who'll use it as fuel and work harder. He's going to be a special player, no question.

Its unfortunate he is behind G3. I cringe when G3 has to move side to side.
