WTF. This is the first time I've heard this. WTF.
“We want to continue to play Tim, when he’s feeling well enough to do that,” Diaco said yesterday. “We want to continue to do that, we want to play Tim in every game. There’s no reason why we wouldn’t. Tim is the quarterback of the future and why wouldn’t we take every opportunity to get him action to get better? We definitely WANT to, I’m not sure we can. It’s still going to be based on how he feels, but moving forward we definitely want to get him in each game.”
Read into that what you will. There isn’t an injury, but it certainly sounds like there is something preventing Boyle from playing additional snaps during games. Whatever it is, time off during this week certainly can’t hurt.
I cant even take a stab to try to figure that out...well maybe I can.
'He wants to continue to play him when he is feeling well enough to do that.'
Im pretty sure I saw him on the field playing Saturday??
"We definitely WANT to, I’m not sure we can. It’s still going to be based on how he feels, but moving forward we definitely want to get him in each game.”
So they put him in, took him out, put him in again later, but its based on how he feels?
The only thing I can come up with is its mental and not physical?? If its physical it makes absolutely no sense to put him in on two different occassions unless he is saying my leg feels good, no it doesnt, it feels good again, no it doesnt.
IDK??
How he feels "the leg pain" whatever it is will decide if he is used in each game not how much he will be used in each game. We have seen about the same amount of play in each game he has played in.
its CT media - drives me nuts. I dont know if anyone does asks follow ups or not but it kills me when we seem to all sit here and go but why didnt you then ask this?I assume that Diaco's quotes were to all the media? How did no one follow up with..."uh..Bob...what does that mean?"
Devil advocate - if there is 'leg pain' I would assume there is some 'leg pain' in practice as well. How about not sending him onto the field in game action until the 'leg pain' has subsided completely in practice environment. Unless you are telling me the pain only occurs in game action?
“We want to continue to play Tim, when he’s feeling well enough to do that,”
Was he feeling well enough to do that on Saturday? Today? Next Week?
Maybe I am missing your point - IDK - if a player has pain why is he being trotted out in game action?
The only game he 'missed' was USF - why is he bringing that up unless he still has leg pain?
Is it possible that Boyle wanted to Red Shirt all along and was promised he wasn't going too play at all this year. Is it possible He is still pursuing an NCAA loophole that would allow a Red shirt IE:medical condition or personal issues etc...cause I cant see him wasting this yr with one drive a game....just not worth it from the beginning...does anyone know if the Red Shirt is indeed automatically gone at this point...like definite, dead and buried? I could see hom weighing a possible transfer as well in hopes of getting this yr back....nothing else makes any sense!

Nope BNich figured it out...Christ. Easier to decipher Chapwilvaug. Ugh.
As soon as Casey "retired" it forced his hand. Can't have a walk-on as your back up with an arm like Boyle's on the roster.
whaler11 said:"The fact of the matter is up to that point, the ball bounces one way or the other and we’re sitting at 3-1 rather than 1-3.”
Does he seriously believe that they are just unlucky?
They got the bounces to make USF and Boise reasonably close. Literally the ball bounced to Jones for them to score. They have had 4 kicks muffed against them in their last 2 home games. FOUR!
He thinks they aren't getting bounces?
I've just come to accept that Diaco is very Belichick in his handling of injury info - as vague as possible.
He's also not going to just say "I can't put him out there and risk our QB depth for next year."
All good questions. I just see a lot of hedging of bets and "just in cases".Then don't put him out there. If he's already hurt or you are afraid to get him hurt how does dropping him into the middle of games protect him?
How does a random series here and there further any goal?
Why even burn his redshirt to this point? They haven't had to use him.
