Redshirt

Let's hope we can hold onto Bill Davis as he should have been playing all year and is our best back. If not that red shirt was wasted as well.

As far as the WR go. This is just not accurate. The Cajuns only had 10 WR catch passes this year and 5 of those caught less than 5 catches all year.


Jacob Bernard, Peter Leblanc, Harvey Broussard, Robert Williams and Charles Robertson caught the majority of all of the passes this year and Robertson, Broussard and Williams all missed at least one game this year. We did play some of the younger guys like Johnson smith and culbert on occasion because the coaches were high on most of these newcomers.

The 5 I named earlier in the post were on the field for the majority of the snaps.

If you look at the OL and DL yes we do a lot of subbing there. But that has been a staple of the Napier/Dez teams for years.

The other 2 guys that got catches were Cambre and Kaleb carter who played in a total of 5 games because of injury early in the year.

Your normal WR crew consisted of Leblanc Bernard and Williams. With Broussard and Robertson backing them up. The. Occasionally sprinkling in Johnson smith and culbert.

We were subbing the OL and DL because none of the guys were any good. Kept grasping at straws to find 5 that could actually play. Far cry from previous years when the OL was legit 7 deep.

I think Des does try to please the players more than choosing the best to play. Also, we sub out the RB’s way too much, Bill Davis should have been the starter all along. He’s the best, play him. I’m ok with occasional sub but not constantly through each series. It doesn’t give the back any chance to get into a rhythm.

Play the best players, period. Act like red shirts don’t exist.

End of the day, players who are great players will chase the money and don’t care if Des is a “players’ coach” or not. Would not be surprised the day comes a player quits after 4 games to preserve a year. I’m sure “agents” will encourage this…guys quitting on their teammates, or their “family” bs.

Most "best players" play.
