Guys,
I just saw a comment over on Irish Band of Brothers about a rumor of him being pulled over by the SB police Saturday night. Apparently he was not happy about not getting any PT on Saturday and did a little drinking to forget. Now this is all RUMOR at this point, but was wondering if anyone knows any truth about this.
I will say that I do not blame him one bit for being pissed. In my opinion, it was complete BS that he did not get a single carry. That blame falls squarely on CW and Haywood. They talked all preseason about the 3 headed monster and it became a 2 headed one. I did not see anything out of Hughes or Allen that sold me to keep James on the bench.
For those of you who want to say, "who cares because James is third best". Consider this, we almost lost Allen and Hughes to injury in the first game. Hughes could have had a bad knee injury on his fumble. Allen could have had a concussion or neck injury on his fumble. That is how quick depth dissapears. At that point, James is the only option. This is unless James leaves like many other transfers. That leaves us with a true freshman at TB.
CW needs to recognize this is not the NFL and you can't just bring in another free agent. We need to keep every player on the team. Look at TE where we could have had Rueland, but now he is gone. Look at CB where we lost Walls for the season and Prince could have stepped in. Transfers will happen, but the coaching staff can do a better job of balancing playing time without sacrificing the level of play.
I will bet you that if James is available this week, we see him play and contribute in a positive manner. I think James gives strong effort every time he plays. He looked solid last season and did not lose the ball. Good Luck James!!!!!!!!!
