Brandon Wimbush move to running back !!
- Thread starter Bodizephax
- Start date
I just want to know BK's exact words or at least have a link to his comments. I searched and found nothing about BW involved with the running game and he will be one of our best down the stretch. I figure if the comment was made, then it would be front page news with all the ND media types. But, as far as I can tell, it's been quiet. There could be a package developed especially for BW. Most everyone might be onboard with that. But, as a RB who might be one of our best down the stretch. What does that even mean?
This latest injury report about Ian is exactly why the "story" about BW playing RB is nonsense. No sources have been provided. No context. No exact quotes. Nothing. If anything, BW can now play RB from the QB position, but he better bring his arm along for the ride.
For all you people that did not believe Bodi when he said Coach Kelly said that he was going to try Wimbush at runningback during the last few games: What was Wimbush doing at the runningback position against Syracuse IN WHICH Book handed him the ball twice ? Was that a mirrage?
Expect more of the same against USC.

That is BKs decision and I trust our staff. If they feel this works, then let's do it. I agree.
I am glad someone else gets a kick out of those 'grades.' Not only uneducated and biased, but also unsolicited.
First off, I question the coaching staff's decision to put Wimbush in when it was only 13-0 and the Irish were backed up on their own 10-yard line. Everyone in the stadium knew he was getting the ball and of course, we know the results. If Syracuse would have come back down and scored to make it 13-7, this decision would have been scrutinized beyond belief.
2nd, if Wimbush would have gotten hurt with one game to go before a playoff birth, and something happened to Book, this decision would have gone down as one of the worst decision in coaching history. In my opinion, this is such a bad decision that if the worst happened, continuing to employ the coach would and should be up for debate.
And finally, Wimbush is NOT, REPEAT NOT, a better RB than any of these 3 (Williams, Armstrong, Jones). He should not see the field unless Kelly has some ultimate plan to use him in a trick play if we should need it down the road, but for now, used just as a decoy. However, every team will be on the lookout for such a trick play so it makes no sense.
It is one thing to reward a player for being a good teammate. It is quite another to put the whole season in jeopardy. And anyone who posts. "I told you so" is just as dumb.
