no more talk of a new coach

wlayton is right. he isn't a RB. He is a hard runner. There is a difference. Against better teams, he would be stuffed.

Agreed


He's definitely a limited role player, but the staff at least recognized what to do with him
against UF and didn't run that stupid delay draw or run him east-west on those plays near the
end of the game.

Well, when we needed a hard runner against FU, your RB was on the sideline with a shin bruise.

but but it was the coach who kept him out......

wlayton wrote: Great kid, average RB, perfect for the UF game in that the UF defensive front isn't big but they are fast laterally etc....you have to run staight at them. He played great and was the right player in the right "role" against UF.

Would not work against BAMA, LSU, BSU etc.....they would shut him down.

Only upgraded against a D like UF's. It's only one game, "blind hogs find acorns every now and then" too. Thankful he was at the right place at the right time.....and didn't stumble and fall down. What I liked the most about him is FINALLY, SOMEBODY STOOD UP AND SAID GIVE ME THE BALL, I WANT TO BEAT UF.....he wasn't scared to win.

Love the kid but still don't think he's a good RB.

He's not a good RB and wouldn't be a RB on this team had things been different with Ealey and King,
but we did see one thing... He sniffed blood and reacted like a shark. Kudos to him (and some other
boys as well) for seeing the brass ring and grabbing it with authority.
