JM isn’t anything special but he’s clearly proven your theory that Banks was the only thing keeping us in the games incorrect

Not at all. You have to take into consideration what Banks was playing with when he was the starter . He didn't have the luxury of us utilizing Dauphine. The offense had no one that the other team feared. So Banks had to scramble and try to make plays such as those long TD passes that helped us have a chance to beat Wake. We'll never get to know what Banks would have done if he had Dauphine at his disposal. Dauphine has been the difference maker. When we played Cincy Fritz said afterwards that they had told Banks and McMillan they would each get two series and then they would pick which one they thought did better. They went with McMillan. we were playing a a team with a good defense. As soon as the game was over Fritz said it was a mistake. No one here was writing that McMillan was the answer b/c of his better reads. In fact they were writing to go back to Banks. We did but we still weren't using Dauphine. He got three carries. So the flip back to McMillan. The difference though was we then started using Dauphine rather than Huderson AND we have played against terrible defenses. Fortunately we will keep using Dauphine and we'll keep playing against bad defenses. So things are looking up.

I see what you did there. I like your gymnastics!

The mistake he was referring to was playing both and then picking one. Had he been able to do it over he would have started one and stayed with him. He didn’t mean it was a mistake to pick Mc over Banks. After playing both.
He said Dauphine was out of shape and then he said he didn’t know his assignments that’s why he didn’t play. He’s now in shape and probably knows his playbook satisfactory.

He was clearly referring to going with McMillan and that's why Banks started the next week. That's been discussed here since he said it and no one tried to claim he was saying what you just said. That's revisionist history.

He never said Dauphine was out of shape. He said he was hyper and it caused him to be dehydrated. He was wrong. On our Rivlas site Guerry Smith made that clear. They did things to rehydrate him but his body rejected it as he wasn't dehydrated. It was his being hyped that made him feel less than 100%. The way to overcome that is to keep playing him and let him get his feel for it. Then he did make comments that clearly insinuated he wasn't playing b/c of his poor pass blocking. Sorry but the trade off was worth it. WF was too stuck on Huderson doing that well when he clearly didn't have the talent Dauphine has.

. “I need to get back in game shape. That’s on me.”

Now that they have "discovered" Dauphine, perhaps they can now take the second step--getting Dauphine the ball in open space--flare passes, screen passes, pitch outs. I guess with Fritz, it's one step at a time.

More importantly like I said above it wasn't dehydration it was about adrenaline. They didn't understand what was going on with him right after the game. It was explained on our Rivals site that it was more a mental issue than a physical one. Plus it's a poor solution to not play him till the 8th game of the season.

His playing time remained much the same but Banks the ball hog didn’t give him the ball on reads like McMillan does. He kept it for himself.
Regardless whether it was mental or physical out of shape that was the reason stated. I’m not arguing just trying to state what was said.
