Step it up Shane

I'm glad they area moving Caleb around early vs. late September so he has a realistic chance of contributing this year. I'm concerned this gives Shane too many toys to play with and he repeats last year's pop warner approach of making sure everyone gets to play one quarter.

Given the offensive woes last year, Shane rightfully got a pass given he was thrown onto the sinking ship and delivered early as a recruiter. But he's playing with the big boys now in Loeffler, Grimes and Moorehead and is going to need to step up his coaching of the RBs - who, for the past 2 years seem to have developed more fundamental issues than under the Hite regime (e.g., increased fumbles, trying to do too much and taking losses, suspect pass blocking, etc.). Even David Wilson's record breaking season included way too many fumbles and 10+ yard losses on hero-type runs gone bad.

Hopefully this season Shanes's able to bring his on-field game up to the level of his off-field capabilities and prove he belongs at this level (and this position).
