RB Carlos "El Guapo" Hyde (Official Thread)

Loved how Hyde made the Sanzenbacher-esque play of picking up the fumble and immediately barreling ahead for the first down. I feel great about our RB situation honestly. If the light comes on for Rod Smith this could be a terrifying group of running backs.

Meet a Buckeye: RB Carlos Hyde
Thursday September 22, 2011
By Tim May
The Columbus Dispatch

A native of Cincinnati, the mean neighborhood in which he was raised cause his mother to send him to Naples, Fla., to live with his grandmother through high school. Scout.com ranked him the No.1 fullback prospect nationally and rivals.com had him No.2 in the class 2009 after he rushed for 1,653 yards and 16 TDs his senior season. He spent fall 2009 at Fork Union (Va.) Military Academy strengthening his academics.

Q ? Why did you say one of the things you learned to appreciate at Fork Union was reading books?

A ? I had so much free time there, I just started reading. The first book I picked up was Native Son. I really got into that book. And I read coach (Jim) Tressel?s book (The Winners Manual) and coach (Tony) Dungy?s book Uncommon. I liked Uncommon a lot,



Q ? Why?

A -- Because I could understand where he was coming from, how he grew up to be a man, how you should treat females -- it?s just about all around life, how you should try to live. It is a positive book, and I felt like I really needed to read a book like that.



Q ? What have you seen as the benefits to becoming a reader?

A ? You like what the books say, for one thing, but it also helps you be smarter in class, it helps with your vocabulary and all kinds of things.



Q ? When you moved back north from Naples, what was the biggest readjustment you had to make?

A ? I had to get ready for this cold weather. I?d gotten used to the heat. So I had to go buy a coat, some boots. And I had to buy some jeans because all I wore was shorts in Naples.

I'm still scratching my head why Carlos didn't get any 2nd half carries vs MSU. :confused: If he doesn't touch the ball at least 10 times a game it's damn shame. Dude is a beast. Feed him the rock!!! :mad1:

First time I've ever quoted myself. :paranoid:

Why stop feeding him?? Even with three timeouts??? Is Bauserman or anyone else on the team that much better of a football player to put it in their hands???









NO.

do something well and then do something else that is the exact opposite... we have to keep them guessing you know? Bollman that wizard.

Actually, that seems like a pretty sound principle to me in spite of the sarcasm. The problem is, the "opposite thing" either has to look enough like the primary thing to fool the defense, or the team has have enough talent and enough excellence in execution to make it not matter if you can't fool the opponent. This team does none of those things.

The last 3 games, Hyde is averaging 8 ypc.....ON 21 FUCKING CARRIES!!!!! When a guy is averaging 8 yards per carry, he should tote the rock 21 times per game, not 21 in 3 games. That, along with a lot of other things, is on the coaching staff!
