You haven't seen him take a significant snap in a year. If our program is a grade above dog shit, he has improved enough to "contribute" if called upon. That's all I am saying.

He played "significant" snaps against Maryland four months ago.  And he shit all over the bed.

Utah does not really have an open path to the starting job. They have an entrenched starter and they signed their best QB prospect in years in 2018. Their depth chart is no more open that ours. 

Jason Shelley is ass my dude.

[Wishbone 4729]

The coaches obviously see some value in keeping Porter on. He will be a solid contributor this Sping when the D practices fumble recovery technique.

If our program is a grade above dog shit, then Kyle Porter will never see another carry in a meaningful situation. The only reason Porter would play is because we have done a shitty job of stocking the RB position the last 4 years. There's no coaching that magically makes Porter a good runner all of a sudden.

he had 1 rushing attempt for 2 yards (went for a TD) - for comparison Watson had 12, Danny Young had 8, Ehlinger had 7, Ingram had 6 and Jamison had 2. Porter literally had the fewest rushing attempts of anyone on the team. 

he had 3 catches for 10 yards. 

those were his season stats. all in the Maryland game.

he didn't play "significant" snaps then. 

[Johnny Sack 8397]

Porter is a great kid and decent athlete.  He has absolutely terrible RB vision.

I think he was actually on the field many more times than he touched the ball. Part of the problem with Porter, if memory serves, was that he was great in pass pro, but sucked with the ball. When he was on the field, the defense didn’t respect him as a potential threat. He was either run blocking or picking up the pass rush. But he got snaps and tipped off the defense in the process, regrettably.

[SizzleChest 8275]

Porter serving as an A/H-back stopgap until Liebrock is ready and/or if Brewer/Leitao can actually play is not the worst thing.

[Skipper 6012]

Porter can play on special teams and given we have no depth at RB, it would definitely be a positive development if he stays.    If we have injuries next year there are teams we can beat with Porter and he's always been pretty decent at picking up a blitz.

Is Jordan Moore a backup to Catalon or do we think he's a take as a transfer regardless?  Assuming Overshown stays we're pretty damn loaded at safety.

You're so extremely wrong it's not even funny.  Porter was on the field for our final drive of the game.  Here are three examples of him playing "significant" snaps and doing a really shitty job.

Play 1:

Texas is down 5.  It's 2nd & 10, with 1:45 left.

Porter is outlet man on the pass, but he runs way too far out on the route.  Basically, he should have stopped when he turned around, but he keeps backpedaling while waiting for Sam.  By the time the ball gets to him, he is against the sideline, and a single defender is able to drop him for a 2 yard loss.  He runs a shitty route, and basically runs himself out of bounds/into a tackle.

 

Play 2:

It's the next play.  Texas still down five.  3rd & 13. 

Porter runs the same route.  He does a better job of not running himself out of bounds this time, and because of that, he's got a lot more space to work with when he gets the ball.  Texas needs a first down here.  But after making a pretty shitty attempt at a juke, Porter lets the first defender nudge him out of bounds.  What an absolutely shitpile play this is.  Basically the opposite of the LJH pass plays for 1 yard which turned into 15 yard gains because LJH didn't give up.  Porter surrenders himself, forcing us into a 4th and 5, instead of fighting for extra yardage which could have made converting much easier. 

Nevertheless, Sam comes back the next play and converts the fourth down like a fucking boss.

 

Play 3:

Same drive.  2nd & 10.  1:17 left. 

Texas is in it's 5 WR look.  Porter is split to the top of the screen.  He's got no one over the top of him.  He runs a 5 yard sit route.  Sam puts a ball right on his hands, and Porter drops the freaking pass, because he totally sucks ass.  That forces us into 3rd and 10 instead of 3rd and 4 or 3rd and 3.  The next play, Maryland drops 8 defenders, because they know Texas has to throw the ball, and Sam throws his second pick of the game.

 

So, yes.  Porter played "significant" snaps in the Maryland game.  And he totally shit the bed.

I'm thinking that throwing the ball three times to the running back on the final drive maybe isn't Porter's fault.

Playcalling is definitely not on Porter.  But you'd hope your running back would give a little bit of fucking effort when his name is called.

Fighting for extra yards and getting tackled in bounds would have been a worse decision than going out - especially considering he had a DL, S, and DB all converging on him.  Clock was at 1:30 and Texas had no timeouts.

LJH can go hulk - he's 6'4" and 225 pounds.  Kyle Porter is 5'9" and 205 pounds.

So, yes.  Porter played "significant" snaps in the Maryland game.  And he totally shit the bed.

that's fair, i would argue that there are scheme issues with having Kyle Porter on the field with the game on the line/in the 2 min offense - and with having Kyle Porter as part of your 5 wide package in general when his weaknesses are well known at this point in time but that's fair. 

i thought you meant significant snaps as in a large number. you meant significant snaps as in important, so that's my fault

The first and third play show his total ineffectiveness. The second play actually was the smart play. Was he supposed to try to fight up field against 3 defenders with 1:30 of clock time and no time outs?  Gain 1-2 yards, burn 25 seconds of clock?

We should bring back Kyle Porter next year. We need the depth. Derrian "Jim" Brown can't be expected to take all 80 or so snaps a game, despite his alleged immortality and ability to wield Mjolnir. 

[Valmy77 13086]

I hope we see lots of Kyle Porter next season because we are so far ahead we have put in all the backups.

I know that is highly unlikely to happen based on what happened last year but it is nice to hope.

Kirko get carries in 2019?  He looked good on the handful of plays when he was a freshman.  Maybe he's the "in case of emergency break glass" back for when everyone else is injured.  Two coaches have to turn keys simultaneously to open the vault where his helmet is held.  I understand we were never in a position to get guys like 5th string backs playing time this year but who knows what 2019 will bring.

Porter will do great things outside of football, but I just wish he would go ahead and get that started. Danny Young is a bulldozer and can block just as well as Porter. I wonder if the staff is looking at that kid from Oregon? Speed, speed, speed.

Texas is interested, including Washington, but nothing more right now.

poster:  I think it's telling that @Eric Nahlin dropped the idea that the staff probably thinks that going after Barlow would be *redundant* with Brown already in the fold.

I read that as acknowledging that, yes Barlow has skills, but they're the same skills that Brown has, and we don't need two of the same; if we go after another one we want him to bring something different to the table.

Wells: Proper assessment.

I actually was not trying to be facetious.  Reminds me of EF--looks to be a great pass-rusher.  But appears to be undersized for a hand-in-the-dirt DL (especially in Orlando's 4i system).  Might have a future as a B-backer, though.
