it was an ongoing discussion on this forum during the practice threads. There were photos to reinforce the conversations as well. Bozeman and Baker spent a lot of time together. Someone on here nailed it when they said that they felt it was intentional that baker and bozeman were with the twos to get used to each other while SD played with Elf.  The injury put a kink in the plans for bozeman to start.  I would assume Bozeman would have been the starting center at the same time we put ickey at LT and BC at LG, but the injury occurred.

 

edit: listening to the presser with rhule and he just said "Bozeman was the guy we intended to start at Center."

Thanks for clarifying.  So, I was right in that it must've been with the twos because he was running Elf with the 1s from most reports throughout camp.  So on one hand, yeah, it makes sense that they had Boze and Baker working almost exclusively together even if it was with the 2s to begin with, but it still frustrates me because the OL needs reps together, as a unit.  So if Bozeman was gonna be the guy, he should've been in there with BC and Ickey.  So, if that's because of that fake Asa QB competition, I think the complaint is still valid.  It was a dumb way to arrive to the ultimate outcome.

TMJ doesn’t seem like he’s ever going to stay healthy enough and on the field long enough to contribute in a meaningful way. It may be time to thank him for his efforts and send him on his merry way to whatever is next for him. Which is likely the XFL.

0% chance. Second round pick one year ago who hasn’t played a down yet for a real OC.

You know, I hate to bitch and moan seemingly every practice thread, but again, it is just frustrating to see all of this concern for Bozeman now from our media guys.  Now obviously, I never want any of our guys injured, and we definitely want and need Bozeman back asap,so I hope he gets healthy quickly...  but I find it another example of an ongoing pattern that we discussed yesterday when it comes to Rhule.  Everyone was banging on the table for Bozeman to get reps as the starring center and wondering why he was still wasting time and reps on Elf.  He continued to play Elf.  Now, Bozeman is injured, and it's like the staff and media have all become lockstep in their concern for getting Bozeman back, seemingly signaling that it is his job when healthy.  It's mind boggling.  If that is the case, aside should have been from day 1 of camp, AGAIN, WHY TF WAS HE NOT GETTING THE STARTER REPS TO BEGIN WITH????  

This poo happens every year with Rhule and it is just maddening.  If you planned for him to be the guy, why did you waste time that couldve been spent building chemistry and continuity??  Idc if they lessened his role this year, Rhule really is a fuging idiot.  And it just sucks feeling like even if we win, we lose because it buys more time for said idiot.  I believe people can learn and change at any point in their lives, but they have to want to, and it's like he has learned absolutely nothing. 

I feel the pain brother, this was just like the other "earn you spot/battles " going on........ I take up for rhule cause its a full on hate fest, but he makes it hard pulling this silly college BS. Even Jordan Gross was asked about how to handle Ickey, quote- "Put him in there one day. PERIOD." I hated the Elf signing, but waited to see how he was used......still piss poor. Boze is just my type of OLmen and hes a clearly levels up from Elf.....  Why the games??? 
This is the fuging professional NFL...

Higgins mentoring Shi, said he started off slow, sat him down and gave him some veteran advice

Yeah. Everyone knew who the best QB and C were at the start of Wofford.  They lost work because Rhule going to do Rhule things.  

it’s lost work for no reason.  And yeah, Baker and Bozeman had some work.   But they didn’t get the work actual starters would be repping.  Just like Bozeman wasn’t working the whole time beside the starting Gs, Baker getting starter reps with his WR, etc.

I really like Higgins - he is such a happy guy. Even watching his personal vlog on when he signed his contract with us was awesome.

How dare Jordan Gross question Matt Rhule on his competitions.   Gross just another irrational Rhule hater it seems.

I think Higgins should get a lot of reps when the season starts.  That build in chemistry with Baker likely will be useful.  Not sure if he will but I’d like to see it.

Marcellus Wiley said that Ickey should have to earn the starting job during the OTAs. Every pro has a different opinion. I agree with Gross though.

Im curious how often we will have 4 WR  sets. It will most likely be rotational plays that we see Higgins. I dont have much isnight into McAdoo's "modern offensive" plan. I hear that he actually had a footprint in the Cowboys game plans last year.

Same deal with Robbie being out this week, only has half the reps he really needed with Baker for the first 3 weeks of camp. Now we're going to be cramming last minute to get pretty much the whole offense ready for week 1
