To be fair to Britt, I don't think he's a terrible player simply because he's just bad. I think a lot of it has to do with Tom Cable being vastly overrated and I'm sure his injuries are taking its toll over time.

30 out of 32 teams, with one of the best scrambling QB's in the entire NFL. That's with Russell Okung's bubble gum legs holding together for 13 out of 16 games.

I think we can all agree here that Wilson taking nearly 50 sacks is a lot different of a scenario than Smith taking about 50 sacks.

Agreed. But I think to pin Seattles O-Line struggles with pass blocking mostly on Britt is a bit much. The whole line was garbage at pass blocking last year.

Again, not saying the dude is all pro or ever will be, I just wouldn't call him an NFL bust 2 seasons into his pro career, when he has started 32 of 32 games for his team.

Even PFF noted his improvement in blocking from the first half of last year to the second half.

Yeah, that's why I wrote that last post. I don't think it's all on him.

The definition of bust has changed I guess. He's a two year starter on a playoff team.

Yeah you must have some weird idea of what a bust is.

Ha! Young guy that I work with played ball at EKU. I'm going to have to talk with him about this on Monday.

Read that Marquise Doherty is leaving Mizzou to go to a Junior College to focus on his baseball career....that make the RB core even thinner.

The hits keep coming to the Missouri football team’s depth at running back.

Marquise Doherty, a redshirt freshman running back and also a member of MU’s baseball team, will transfer to a yet-to-be-determined junior college, PowerMizzou.com reported on Thursday. A team spokesman could not confirm Doherty’s impending transfer on Friday.

Doherty’s departure would leave Missouri with five scholarship running backs on the 2016 roster. Junior Ish Witter is the only one to carry the ball in a Tiger uniform. Joining him will be Oklahoma transfer Alex Ross, sophomore Trevon Walters, redshirt freshman Ryan Williams and freshman Damarea Crockett. The team also has walk-on Shaun Conway.

Missouri announced in February the signing of Nate Strong from Hinds Community College, but he reportedly won’t enroll at Missouri until January at the earliest, because he still needs to finish his junior college requirements.

Doherty was a four-star prospect coming out of Winnetonka High School in Kansas City, where he rushed for 1,037 yards and 15 touchdowns as a senior. He was drafted in the 15th round of the 2015 Major League Baseball draft by the Kansas City Royals, but he opted for MU instead of the minor leagues. He redshirted last fall with the football team before appearing in 12 games, including seven starts, this spring with the baseball team. An outfielder, Doherty batted .214 with four RBI.

MU football Coach Barry Odom had hoped Doherty would attend some spring football practices even with his participation on the baseball team, but Odom said during the final week of spring practice that Doherty had been unable to attend any spring practices. He also did not play in the spring game.

Witter led the team in rushing with 518 yards last season. Ross, a fifth-year senior, compiled 786 rushing yards during his OU career.

If Missouri is looking to add another running back to the roster, Baylor signee Kameron Martin might be an option. Martin, from Port Arthur, Texas, is among a group of Baylor signees who have reportedly requested their release from national letters of intent in the wake of Coach Art Briles’ dismissal.

ESPN reported that Martin, a four-star prospect, is interested in Missouri, TCU and Texas if Baylor gives him his release.

TIGHT END PLEDGES: Missouri picked up a verbal commitment for its 2017 signing class from an Illinois tight end on Thursday. Logan Christopherson of Lemont High School, located in the southwest Chicago suburbs, announced his pledge on Twitter.

“I’ve decided the best school to develop me as an athlete, student, and man is the University of Missouri!” Christopherson wrote on Twitter.

The 6-foot-6, 225-pound Christopherson is a three-star recruit, according to Rivals.com, 247Sports.com and Scout.com.

Lemont Coach Bret Kooi said Christopherson spent time attached to the line and split wide last season.

“His strengths are in the running game,” Kooi said. “I think he’s an extremely good blocker. He plays with that attitude or that little chip on his shoulder that you look for in good linemen or good blocking kids.”

Christopherson becomes Missouri’s fourth verbal commitment, joining offensive lineman Pompey Coleman from Ben Davis High School in Indianapolis, offensive lineman Hyrin White from DeSoto High School in Texas and athlete DaRon Davis from Kansas City’s Hogan Prep.

We are just seeing the beginning of kids walking away from football. All of this concussion stuff...I can't say that I blame them either, especially if they're most likely not going to get drafted. MU, while being pretty darn successful at getting kids drafted, hasn't exactly churned out a ton of RBs to the NFL.

Doherty has baseball potential as he's already been drafted into the MLB, but it stinks that he's going somewhere else to play. I wonder what the story is there?

**Bowser** · 06-05-2016, 11:59 AM

The Royals drafted Doherty in the 15th round this year. The money he would have made wouldn't have been "life changing", particularly in the long term, so in the moment he declined. I don't know for sure, but I bet he regrets that decision right now.

As for why I can only speculate, but I would assume the abrupt retirement of Pinkel along with all the horseshit that transpired at Mizzou might have swayed him. Maybe Odom wasn't as high on him as Pinkel was, who knows. Marquise is a smart, well spoken, good kid. I wish him the best, wherever he lands.

duncan_idaho · 06-06-2016, 05:36 PM

Have heard some weird stuff re: Doherty, primarily that he didn't seem committed to football and was more interested in baseball.

He and Jamieson apparently didn't get along, which is no surprise to anyone.

Jamieson is an asshole.

Officially official, straight from Odom -

Missouri coach Barry Odom confirmed Tuesday that redshirt freshman running back Marquise Doherty was leaving the football program.

Doherty, a Winnetonka graduate, was drafted by the Royals in the 15th round of the 2015 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft, but he opted for a two-sport career at Mizzou instead.

Now, Doherty has reversed course.

“He decided to pursue just baseball and indicated to me that he was going to enroll in junior college and just play baseball and try to make that work,” Odom said.

Doherty sat out last football season with the Tigers and played sparingly for the baseball team this spring. He batted .214 in 12 games, including seven starts, with a double and four RBIs.

“I wish him well,” Odom said. “Since baseball started in January, I really only had a chance to work with him one day. Baseball was really where he wanted to go moving forward, so I hope it works out awesome for him.”
