That is true but tate is the type of QB RR has wanted.A guy that can pass and run like Shuan King who was QB when RR was OC at Tulane(they went 12-0 in RR second year). Robinson will be good and i can see us running a two QB set that is effective like UF's in '06.

Hey no issues man.Ryan explained some things to me so no big deal.I can understand that if u haven't read some of the articles. I almost wrote an article last night that would have been very similar to Lisa Horne's but i came across it beforehand fortunately so now i have t make some big changes before i post mine. It happens. I'm sorry for making it appear as if i was accusing u of copying.That is my bad.Ryan told me u just have some trouble coming up with ideas.If u need any help though just contact me or u can contact ryan.I would be more than happy to try and help.

I dont think he will make a diffrence because he sat out all of last year so it is a bad impression on rich rod

I have commented on a couple of your articles. The advice I can give to you is just keep writing because as we get further into Spring and summer fewer people continue writing so it should be easy to move up. Keep up the good work.

Hey Bennett,

I appreciate you taking a look at the article and making a change, but the headline is actually part of a theme I'm planning. Regardless, I really do appreciate the suggestion, but I chose to stick with the way I had it.

Thanks,
Angel

Hey Let's Go Redlegs—Jeff here, a Bleacher Report Community Coordinator.

I've been spending time on our Reds page and read a couple of your old articles. Really on-point analysis...you do good work.

Given that you haven't written in a while, I thought I'd check in and see if you're interested in picking up your coverage again. What do you say?

If not, it would be great if you could give me some feedback on why you decided to stop writing and what we could have done to better serve you. If you wouldn't mind, please shoot me a line at jeff@bleacherreport.com with any thoughts.

Thanks so much,

Jeff
