Ed,
I assume your comment was directed to Keith. I think I said that Moody came on toward the end of Spring Practice. According to what I had read early in Spring Practice, UM was not very pleased with any of the running backs. I saw in an interview later in the Spring that he Moody was playing much better but that he wanted consistency. By the last days of Spring practice, UM was proud of Moody’s progress. (I am basing what I am saying on snippets from UM on GatorCountry.co.)

The kid was having a fine Spring and Coach was giving him a lot of compliments. You might consider giving him a break. -----Original Message----- From: Jerry Belloit Sent: 4/19/2009 1:28:53 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [gatortalk] Re: [gatornews] [OrlSentinel] John Brantley's play overshadows Tim Tebow at Gators' spring game Franz at Gatorcountry .com said last night that Moody was hurt and Urban was playing guys rather cautiously so as to get out of the game with no more injuries.ï¿œ From what I am reading and hearing, Moody came on toward the end of Spring practice.ï¿œ If he continues to improve his strength during the summer, he will be in good shape for the fall.ï¿œ Chris Scott may also have played his way into some playing time this fall, particularly when we need some power running.ï¿œ However, he too needs to continue to work.

I was proud of Chris Scott leading all rushers. He's our "Rudy". I still don't know why Moody did not play - but now the coaches can tell Moody - pull your head out of your butt - or else we'll play Chris Scott. Chris Scott averaged - was it 6.5 yards? - behind a poor offensive line. Imagine what happens when the Pouncy's get back in there. OR put Chris Scott at fullback and you have one hell of a FB - who can block, run, and catch. Chris Scott makes up for losing K Moore at RB. The official stats say - Chris Scott averaged 6.5 yards per carry with the orange (1st string offense - actually 2nd string since our first string OL is out with injuries). But "only" 4.7 ypc with the Blue (2nd string offense? - actually 3rd string ). I don't care that Chris Scott is not as fast as rainey or demps. All he has to do is be able to run between the tackes and gain at least 3.4 yards per carry. I am not convinced that rainey and demps can run between the tackles. I agree that rainey and demps are more likely to break a long run/catch once they get out in space - its that getting them out in space - that is the problem. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
