LOL. You have won the Chief v Zoo exchange. Chief has come out of nowhere and fallen from the sky outta the BB Board.
Rosa can be dynamic, but my heart is in my throat when it’s pitched to him. There is a place for him but not at 1 or 2 RB.

I can't help root for a local kid to get more touches. And to your point, he's had some great runs with the ball. That said, we don't see everything that the coaches see, and I'm sure they have a reason for not giving him more burn. Still, as a fan it's frustrating not to see him have more opportunities.

Sort of but remember that the #1 back is also a Connecticut kid. I realize he’s from Norwalk which is in Fairfield County and 50% of the residents of Fairfield County don’t even realize they live in Connecticut and 40% of the rest of the state don’t realize Fairfield county is part of the State, but still facts is facts. LOL

Chief are you just having trouble admitting that you don’t know how to find the ESPN app and that you don’t have

I am busy with my job work, NIL events, etc.
Sounds like you are glued to TV or streaming for much of your day.
In my case, I usuallly don’t turn on a TV until early evening and that’s when I want to relax and say what I want to watch to the remote and that’s the extent of the effort. I said that way back in this thread. I am working on an AI related project at work so my understanding of technology probably far exceeds the fact you are proud of using ESPN+.

So many here are far detached from the realities of 2025 D1 major College sports and just because others here with the same level of understanding agree with you, it seems to validate in your mind your clueless takes.

Edwards is a fine back as I said from the very start in this thread. I have never argued who should start. Nothing anyone has presented aligns more with the downward trajectory in Rosa touches than the change in RB coaches. Rosa’s results per touch have not changed, he just has less touches.

In this day and age coaches communicate to players at the end of every season playing time expectations. Since his results per touch have not change, draw your own conclusions. Since his results are as good as in the past per touch / who did not keep their side of the bargain?

( just to be clear though, Bristol Central not NVL.)

So your heart in your throat if we pitch to a guy who is averaging 7.3 yards per carry this season and 4.8 yards for his career. Again his body changed a lot in the last 4 years but even his freshman year he had a lower % of fumbles lost per touch than the team. You have to lack critical thinking skills not to recognize that.

Because I know how to find the ESPN app that 85M households have?

You’re incredibly special Chief.

Also the Calculator app on your PC is not AI.
 
Rosa has good top end speed but needs to see the opening before he turns it on. This means idling down a bit and finding the opening and then going full speed. Let the blocks develop and make the best choice. Patience my friend.

Your suggestion reminds me of that Wake Forest slow mesh offense that made me want to never watch football again

Not running into the butt of your offensive lineman is the goal. The Wake slow mesh is a different concept. I think Cuse ran it against us this year a couple times.

ESPN+ isn’t TV. It is subscription and streams on a Smart TV using the ESPN app, streaming apps such as Hulu etc . True teams that don’t make real TV call it that, but it is what it is.

So UConn should renegotiate the AAC's media deal so that UConn specifically can be on TVier TV?

Wait til he sees UConn basketball hosting SJU on Peacock.

lol - I already knew that was coming (maybe some day you will get me), hence my posts on the football board with unknowing folks telling me to go back to the BB board. I have had Peacock for a few years, but probably not Premoim? I get streaming is part of picture. But, what we have now is an incoherent assortment of TV deals from the Big East Commissioner who failed at everything she did in the WNBA.

So a few of our road football games being on ESPN+ is the problem, but our biggest basketball home conference game being on streaming only is part of the picture? Got it
