He has camped out in the weightroom it appears and is insanely cut up. I was jogging near Ping and he was on a bicycle headed toward Peden it was a ghost town no students,buildings closed literally no one around at all. I said hi he just smiled and gave me a nod. I thinks something is brewing if he stays healthy.

I thinks something is brewing if he stays healthy. That is great to hear. Even if AJ is healthy all year, the number two back at Ohio will get 100+ carries if productive; clearly, Ohio coaching believes in using two backs to maximize season-long performance by minimizing unnecessary wear-and-tear. Big shoes to fill for Irons with Dorian Brown averaging over 6 yards a carry. If Ross comes in and is not clearly the number two over Irons I would like to see Irons and redshirt Ross. A redshirt would help Ross prepare for a chance for a bigger role next year.

I'm just hoping Ross can redshirt only cause I feel there is gonna be a stronger need for him in the future and he is a dude I think can especially benefit from the extra year.

Hopefully it all comes together for him so he can have a breakout season this year.

Really, Maleek? This and many other things he has done or said make me seriously question his mental approach to football. Glad to hear he's bulked up, though, if it can help his game.

Ohio was the better team and I am glad a fitfth year senior has confidence. Stick to reporting the bad news. Go cats Nobody despises to lose more than I do. That's got me into trouble over the years, but it also made a man of mediocre ability into a pretty good coach.

He is tough to bring down, break away speed, double the yards per carry over AJ, and refuses to got down. AJ, unfortunately, goes down way too easy. Why are we keeping this all-MAC back off the field?

Irons has better vision, oulette has done a good job over his career. Let’s go Cats Nobody despises to lose more than I do.

Why are we keeping this all-MAC back off the field? I don't think Frank is going to start Maleek. I agree that Irons had some good runs against Cincinnati, and will probably get more touches because if it, but he's not going to start. AJ is the leader of this team. He works harder than anybody else and is also a pretty darn good running back. Irons has hurt the team twice with his bone-headed off the field behavior. The first time, maybe you could write off to kids doing stupid things, but the second time, inexcusable. Way too much of a character difference between the two and Frank is a character guy.

The team did show loyalty, but so did Irons. He probably got treatment for substance abuse. He could have immediately transferred and played for a FCS team. He also showed loyalty when he was the fourth back after flashing great potential. We should not trash a kid that had to grow up in our program. I hope that he and AJ have great years. They are both assets to the program. Nobody despises to lose more than I do. That's got me into trouble over the years, but it also made a man of mediocre ability into a pretty good coach.

He could have a great season this year. If the gets 180 touches, I think he'll be over 1000 yards. “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top Showing Replies:   1 - 21  of 21 Posts Jump to Page:   1 View Other 'Ohio Football' Topics                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               WHO'S ONLINE There are 369 Active Visitors on BobcatAttack.com 367 Guests 2 Registered Users:   shabamon, berniebobcat There are no other users looking at this page.
