Antonio Williams

Just wondering why he hasnt been getting as many carries as the other 2 runningbacks. I hear he is one of the hardest workers on the team. Just Curious?

Because the other two are better? Don’t think there’s much more to it than that.

I agree! He's an incredible talent! Michael Carter and Javonte Williams are also very talented. Must get Antonio Williams on the field more. Must play on all the special teams. He can play in the NFL. Most likely on special teams. Not acceptable to transfer from Ohio State to rust on the bench at UNC

“Not acceptable”? You’d better email Mack at once and let him know.

Barry you are severely intellectually challenged. How was your time at statelol?

Longo spoke to this yesterday when asked how to manage the touches that the three backs are getting. Basically said he goes with the back that's hot at the moment and doesn't stray from that only to give said back a breather. Doesn't like the idea of pulling a back who is hot just to balance the touches for the other backs but he recognizes that all three of the backs are really good.

And that’s the proper way to handle it. Antonio will get his opportunity. It’s a long season.

Sounds good to me.

Against Wake, perhaps Antonio Williams is the hot RB.

Antonio Williams rushed 4 times against South Carolina for 53 yards. He was scorching hot, but Longo didn't stick with him

AW seems to get most of his touches in the fourth quarter when the defense has tired legs. I think it’s great strategy to save one of your back’s legs for the fourth quarter

Was wondering the same about Antonio also about why Barnes isn’t playing much.

Zero carries that’s not good at all. Give him a chance

 

[NSCometFan1975]

I thought the same thing. He averages like 5 yards a carry in his career but you dont give him a chance at all. Seems strange to me?

Especially after Javonte was benched a while because of the fumble.
