RB Bri'onte Dunn (dismissed from team)

[n8butch]

was really surprised not to see him at all today....what gives?

Meyer said that Bri'onte Dunn has to play on special teams before he'll see the football on offense.

I wasn't sure what to make of this quote. Surely, he wasn't asked/told to play special teams and declined. Has he just not performed well on ST in camp? If he wasn't asked to play ST, how can you hold it against him that he hasn't played ST?

I kind of took it as Bri'onte maybe only has an interest in carrying the ball, not much else to help the team. But I recall him being out there last year on ST. So I don't know. I'm probably wrong.

Has Ball played on special teams?

I took it as Meyer saying that someone else may have a better week in practice, but you better not sulk and do whatever to help the team if you still want to keep your name in contention.

Kind of in that same vein, it is about competition with Urban and I take it that competing hard to get on Special Teams is the starting point to getting on the field.

That's probably true. Basically telling Dunn to push harder if he really wants to play.

UFM is judge and jury..you go hard all the time or you don't play,,

+1...Nothing will be given to a player it has to be earned....

It appears that Dunn may be in the doghouse right now.

 

[scarletandgray1]

He is still listed as number 2 on the depth chart for Saturday, behind Hall. Smith is not listed.

Should be interesting to see how the reps shake out...

 

[ant80]

Still no touches for Brionte... :(

 

[Onebuckfan]

Not good for Brionte..he had a chance to put his stamp as a power back with Hyde out..But 0 carries tells me he is not in tune with the Urban way.

Really hoping this turns into a Etienne Sabino (mid-career redshirt) situation, but the lack of rumblings his direction is concerning.
