I wasn't defending the rest of the chat. I was just looking at the one quote and thinking that it doesn't say anything that could be considered negative.
As for the other post in the chat, it was:
LongDuckDong1: Hello Coach...is it me...or does Tuel seem more comfortable in the shotgun? Good thing we have nice depth at the RB spot but sure would have love to see Galvin out there...but Staden will make plays for us.
He does say that he believes that Staden will make plays but I didn't see anything proclaiming him as a legit Pac-10 running back. If anything, he makes it clear that Galvin was someone he'd rather see. Leach would probably buy into that thinking. I can't imagine any fan who is trying to be optimistic saying much else. I don't see either of those posts being meaningful. At the end of the day, the only thing that you can get out of that chat is that Walden was going to say whatever he could to stick up for Wulff.....and nothing's changed.
As for the fact that sponge is bashing on our current running backs......I feel you and think that it's wrong to say much negative about them. Our running backs do what they are asked of them. It's not their fault that the line sucked in the past and Halliday never had a pass play that he'd feel like skipping.
Well, Flat, when a fully developed offensive line is in place, and legitimate RB prospects have matured, the running game can actually be decent. None of this was going to happen in the wake of 6-and-40 and the signing of 7 high school o-line prospects in four years. I think you're smart enough to understand that.
