Did you watch any of the twitter videos? Franks and Trask are making a heck of an effort running the ball. They aren't acting like p*ssies and are dropping their shoulder's/bodies and are giving an extra effort. They are taking hits and - at the very least - making an effort to run Mullen's "system". It's all we can ask - for their level of talent.
I'm no fan of Franks after watching the performance he put on last year....and his arrogant excuses (i.e. not taking any blame). But, I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt. I've said, over and over, that I think Franks is "uncoachable" - due to his running out of bounds over and over, behind the LOS - that's not coached by even terrible coaches like Nussmeir. He did that on his own. Franks has to prove it - to Mullen, his teammates...and the fans. If he doesn't, let's put him on the bench...for good, and let Trask or EJ take over. But it appears Mullen is leaning towards Franks right now....and I appreciate the effort I've seen in the twitter videos.
