Saw plenty of D. Hayes, Vaughan, and Sebastian in 2nd half. Jay Hayes still not fully recovered from high ankle sprain. Kareem in place of Rochell? NO.

Got a little dusty reading this. Hoping Dexter's mom has the chance to see a lot more games.

I didn't know his mom was sick. You can see why he puts the effort in.

Fantastic article, thanks for posting. Hope Dex continues to see more carries because he's earned them.

Damn, who is cutting onions in here?
Any son that would stick by his mother's side like that is one special human being. I don't care if Dexter gains another yard. He is already a very special person, and his mother did a fantastic job raising him. My prayers go out for Dexter and his mom.

He needs the ball more. Even before this story, he's a homerun hitter.

Dexter should have 15-20 carries. Same for all 3 really. Is
Folston still banged up? Save him for Stanford then imo.

I think he's the most complete RB. Better inside than Adams and better on the edge than Folston. Him and Adams are going to be ridiculous next year.

I'm hoping Jones Jr. can offer a nice curveball at the goal line as well. I haven't heard word on him this year, and I didn't really expect to with who was ahead of him, but it sounded like he was great running downhill between the tackles with excellent hands to give him an extra dimension.

Not to mention the X factor that is Brent's athleticism.

But how are his hands. Not sure I've seen him make a catch.

Williams had 2 catches for 7 yds, 3.5 YPC, versus Syracuse. I don't know if he's been targeted before but those were his first catches.
Adams with more PT has a dozen catches for 133 yds 11ypc

Yeah, he looked very good in fall camp. His hands were very good and he looks like a quick cutting North-South runner but I think it's a disservice to him to be labeled a goalline RB, I think he'll challenge Adams for minutes once Dexter asserts himself as the #1, which I believe is inevitable barring injury.
I really like Adams and still believe he's a quality RB but I think Dexter is most talented and once he has protections down, he'll move into that starting position.
It may be our OL play or how the defenses have gamed us but Adams looks hesitant to make a read and go. Last year he would hit holes quickly and get up to top speed but he looks like he's tentative. If that doesn't get fixed, I believe 2nd team reps are up for grabs. I do think Adams is a very complete RB, he's good at picking up the blitz and has good hands.

Wait, really???
I just assumed he was hurt. If it was really a coaches' decision, WTF....

Dexter is 100% healthy. He was on every kick off cover team yesterday. It's just BK's decision not to give him carries. He had 1 carry last week for a first down and got pulled immediately after.
BK is a potato.

It's embarrassing because he is the most talented RB we have. So sick of this shit. How does this guy not get 7-12 carries a game? He gave Cam 12-15 carries a game but won't give them to Dexter. You wonder why we never sign a big time back or non want to come here.
