Hypothetical Question

Lets say Kenjon Barner has a great Preseason. Which it's looking like he will. Week 1 rolls around and Stewart isn't ready yet. Or Stewart gets hurt and has to miss a game or two. Who starts in his place? Williams/Tolbert or Williams/Barner.

 

Nonetheless he is probably the future and I expect to see Barner used in the passing game a lot this season.

Williams/Tolbert with a little Barner sprinkled in.

What would Barner have to show you in Preseason for you to feel comfortable starting him over Tolbert? Tolbert relied on our OL to make holes and his size to gain yards. I feel that if our OL suffers an injury or is worse than expected we could need Barners speed on the outside.

Williams/Barner

Tolbert is still the primary full back, lets not forget that his first job is to block. However, if Stewart is out, Tolbert will receive extra carries and most likely all of the goal line carries.

I think people get so caught up in the fact that we are paying our running backs a fortune that they don't realize how lucky we are to have four good half backs.

Solid pass blocking and an understanding of protection schemes.

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
