gatortalk: RE: [gatortalk] I thought Kevin Taylor would get some touches.

OK, I’m just not sure why he should be treated differently than any other true freshman with players ahead of him. Will may have intended to get him in there but Jones finally looked back to 100% and decided not to mess with what was working. I just don’t understand the micro-management off every little thing the coaches are doing, especially when, IMO, the offense looked the best of any Gator O since Tim graduated.

My concern is that the coach said he wanted to give him more playing time and didn't. It has nothing to do with how well the other backs ran. My disappointment was that KT was not rewarded for his improvement. Young kids are touchy and I would not like him to give up and want to transfer.

That was the reason for my post.

Will has also said that he will ride the RB that is hot – Matt came out and had some nice early runs and appears to be back in pre-illness form, so I think it has more to do with that than anything Kelvin is doing wrong. I hope Kelvin is making progress but I don’t think he is there yet and at this point in the season I don’t see any point in burning his redshirt. Kelvin played at a small HS where he was the star and didn’t have to learn how to block until he got to UF. Matt Jones came out of a HS used to winning championships and so he was a lot further along in picking up his blocking assignments and I think that is why he has Will’s confidence and they are going to ride him this year as much as possible. It’s all pretty good right now, IMO, so I am confused why Gator fans never seem to be content with what is working.

Part of what concerns me is that Coach Mush last week said he was going to play him some and that he had made great progress picking up his blocking assignments. Kevin said earlier that he was having some frustration about not playing.

I know that he is a legacy and that his dad supports us. However, I think if I was in his position and the coach had said what he did, I would want to know what I had done to deserve to stay on the bench.

Not picking on you Jerry, but I don’t get this – Kelvin is going to be great, but he’s a true freshman and he won’t get any touches until he learns to pick up the blitz. Matt Jones, a sophomore, had 176 yards rushing and Mack Brown had a good game on more limited touches. Hopefully we get Valdez back soon and they all appear more than capable. That’s not enough? Why not redshirt Taylor at this point? And I’m not worried about him becoming disillusioned, he is at his dad’s alma mater and I’m pretty sure he knows his time will come. From what I’ve seen on twitter, Dad is telling him all the right things, including enjoy college son!

I was disappointed that Kevin Taylor did not get any touches (that I noticed) in Saturday's game. I hope that he does not get disillusioned by not playing.
