Why was Chris Capps ever in the game?
Chris Capss has not played well all season and when Tatum has come in JP has had more time to throw the ball. Against LSU I thought Tatum played very well and Capps was listed as being hurt so I figured we would see Tatum get the start. Then when I was watching the team warm up I see Capps with the starting squad. Capps then gives up two sacks on consecutive possessions, each ending in a fumble and each giving the barn 7 points. After that Capps goes out and Tatum comes in. Once Tatum comes in JP has all the time he needs to throw the ball. But we can not spot the barn 14 points and expect to win. Everything up to game time pointed to Tatum as being the better RT and Tatum getting the start, why on Earth was Capps in the game?

Great question for the coaching staff.

Re: Why was Chris Capps ever in the game?
To me this is one of the symptoms of a larger issue that I would like discussed in an open and honest way.
Quentin Groves probably weighs 230 lbs soaking wet, yet he is shoving our +300 pound right tackles 10 yards into the backfield. Is the problem that Shula is loyal to a ****-poor coach, or that Shula doesn't even recognize that Connelly is incompetent? |

Re: Why was Chris Capps ever in the game?
Well I want y'all to correct me if I'm wrong but I don't remember us giving up one sack once Capps came out.

Why was #72 in the game?
Some here have alluded to the staff playing favorites. Well if that is the case (liking #72 better than #58) then it cost us the game. Can't believe that coaches would run a team like this. Just pitiful is all I can say.

Re: Why was Chris Capps ever in the game?
I was wondering this myself. Somebody must be playing staff favorites or a hurt #72 would never have been in with a better backup waiting in Tatum (and a senior too). Ugh, disgusting that it has come to this.
RTR forever! |

Re: Why was Chris Capps ever in the game?
I don't know if y'all noticed or not but Caldwell was in at RT on several series (mostly in passing situations) and stopped Groves dead in his tracks.

Re: Why was Chris Capps ever in the game?
I think there might be some pix of someone somewhere in a "compromising position" that Capps must have in his possession...
That, or someone made a REALLY bad decision... Kudos to KT for improving his game SOOO much over the last couple of games... Thanks KT...I know JPW appreciates you...too bad we didn't have you early on to protect from the fumbles... Capps, we love you, you wear Crimson...I know you're trying...I know you're doing what they tell you to do... |

Re: Why was Chris Capps ever in the game?
Yes Tatum was the RT last season but Capps was the LT, and neither played well against the barn. But Tatum was playing much better than Capps this season, and escpecially against the barn.
