If we don’t see Hammonds there should be a #where’s Hammonds onslaught of tweets. Tell your friends. Bret loves him some Twitter so show him some love.

If this is already a thing, disregard.

I would be shocked if he gets even 10 carries.

These dummies think he's a "change of pace" back, even though he's clearly our most explosive player.

You play your best players every game and every chance you can period. I am nonplussed why we don’t.

This is the time of the year that Bert opens the playbook and starts to get hungry. Too bad he cant do it consistently and for the whole season.

I think it was clear bert realized the importance of playing Hammonds after his initial long TD. He will see much more reps this week

The fact that our coach had to essentially be shamed into playing our most dynamic player since Joe Adams pretty much throws back the curtain on the fact he’s a colossal dumbass.

This was never going to be a great season. We have too many pieces missing from the puzzle and we had too many injuries to key players. But it could have been a good season.

The SEC West is down and both of our East opponents were beatable and now we are staring down the barrel of ending the season with a loss to Missouri and our only conference win being over a hapless Ole Miss.

Even after Hammonds recovered from his injury he spent game after game seemingly in Bielema's dog house even though everyone says he's got a good attitude and gets good grades.

Enos practically begs Bielema to go hurry up since Kelley is more comfortable in that system and it would put teams back on their heels. After having moderate success we abandon it.

Paul Rhoades preaches the importance of press coverage and early in the season we have some success playing tight coverage and bringing blitzes. We pretty much abandon that and go back to giving ten yard cushions when the other team only needs three yards.

Even though Hedlund had demonstrated a serious case of the yips the last time he was the kicker Bielema made the decision to make him the starter and then hurled the kid under the bus when, predictably, his nerves once again got the better of him in a game. Meanwhile Connor Limpert, who has done a fine job since being promoted to FG kicker, was buried in the depth chart. All while Bielema continues to divide up responsibility for special teams play among his already busy assistants.

There are other issues, the line play was never addressed or improved. The team has played flat and without emotion in every game this year. We seem to have given up on the TE waggle play that used to be a staple of our offense. A lot of issues.

It seems like every time Bielema and his coaching staff made a decision they made the wrong one. This is going to be yet another what if season for the Razorbacks.

With all of our injuries I'm not sure that even a well coached Arkansas team could beat LSU today, but I sure would like our chances a lot more.

Evidently he is lacking in the things that need doing when he doesn't have the ball in his hands. As bad as our line is, that just magnifies the problem.

Hammonds with three touches today after Bert said "we'll find some ways to get him the ball." Impressive

Bielema on T.J. Hammonds playing four snaps: “[Running backs coach] Reggie [Mitchell] came up to me after the first half and said he thought the two older guys [Devwah Whaley and David Williams] would be better for the second half. T.J. is a great player. He’ll get his opportunities.”



So, why in the frick did you not do what you claimed to have done last week and say "get him in the game" you obese container of greasy snail shite?


Things go well: "that was my decision and so was this."

Things go poorly: "but Reggie said..."

The Bielema years in a nutshell folks.

Frankly Reggie Mitchell has done a better job then Bielema has.

Whaley and Williams both outplayed Hammonds by a pretty wide margin.

3 carries, 0 yards and a dropped pass.

The running game wasn't the problem.
