Huff cannot pass block
When Huff is in the game he is either getting the ball or a lead blocker for a running play
Opponents have figured this out
Thus making Huff less effective/valuable

If not for a Huff block NIU comes out of the horseshoe with 0 TDs

Nah. So much of our pass game is designed to get rid of the ball within a second. Any back can be in for that. That's conservative Carey not having faith in his own O-line. Maybe...and it's a big maybe....if Huff is in it's possible we won't be running a deeper, slow developing route that takes time and an RB is needed to block. But I doubt it. Coaches are aware of all of this "tendency" stuff.

That isn't true. I watched the BC game again, he was in there plenty of times to pass block. As many times as Marcus Jones was. And he did a very good job. He knocked Harold Landry down on one play, and didn't miss blocks. Also, I only saw one play against EIU where he let a defender get past him and put pressure on, but didn't hit, Santa. There were at least a couple TDs thrown by our QBs when Huff picked up a blitz, just this year.

And probably most O-linemen have given up a sack at one time or another. It's just bad luck if the QB gets injured or doesn't get injured. You can't leave the guy on the bench because of that, if he's otherwise better than the other players.

I don't understand why people aren't happy to have two talented RB's, instead this board is continually obsessed with Huff. IMO Jones is a little better, but it's minimal. Also, who cares, as long as we are winning.

Huff needs to be in full time. This is way overdue. The offense would be much more effective with his breakaway threat.

As long as we are winning? We were 5-7 last year. And lost to BC this year. Against EIU, Huff once again had 8 ypc vs 5.25 for Jones. So Jones might have "looked" like he did better, but he didn't. Huff didn't do anything against BC (only 5 carries though), but BC was making sure Huff didn't do anything, knowing that Graham isn't much of a threat. Graham had that one run, but that was it.

Agreed NIU007 great points, I noticed Huff blocking in that game too. This Huff bashing on here is simply to defend Carey. For some reason there is a group of 6 or so that feel like that have to destroy anything in their path as long as they protect him. I have never understood the loyalty at all costs for him. People are just in amazing denial, and I don't fully understand why. Not sure if they just don't want to admit he is a horrible head coach , or if there is a friendship to him, or blood relation. It is really baffling.

I'm going to starting calling this board "The HUFFington Post"

Sorry man but your just wrong

Offensive lineman give up sacks. It is true, but rb that continues to read the hot blitz incorrectly is judged differently

COACHES DON'T TRUST HIM, IT'S ALL THERE IS TOO IT

It doesn't matter how many yards he averages, which is pretty average this year so far, he is 100% a pass blocking liability

How many snaps does he get in 3rd and 5 or more?

Hint...0

Head coach doesn't trust him because he is a playmaker, and to Carey that is too risky because turnovers can result. You have to remember, we have a head coach that is satisfied with 3 and outs and long as no turnovers occur. Huff doesn't fit into that mold.

No the coach's don't trust him because he got two quarterbacks smoked

COACH NEVER FORGETS THAT

QB is most important position on the field

"QB is the most important position on the field" Please make our head coach write that on the blackboard 1000 times. He puts ZERO value on the QB position, ZERO, zilch, none.

Huff is the best player we have on offense. Too bad our coach doesn't realize that. He should at least have Spann type numbers. Too bad we'll never know how good Huff could have been...

Carey must have been too busy trying to make Graham look good the last two years to realize how good Huff is...

Pretty ridiculous our two best players, Santa and Huff, sat the bench in the season opener...

Good points. If there are two things Carey can never be trusted with , they are 1) injury status updates and 2) player evaluation

It's beyond ridiculous...
