Ajani Sheppard & Sam Brown

[Colbert17!]

Both had good games today in Temple's loss to Army.

Sheppard - 11/20 2 TDs, 10 carries for 48 yards
Brown - 10 carries for 96 yards, 78 yard pass for a TD

 

[Dowling's Revenge]

Happy for Brown. Not a soul alive doubta his talent but can he stay on the field will be the question

 

[Knight Shift]

Temple lost. KC Keeler is 1-3.

 

[Jtung230]

Brown looked good. Showed good speed. Glad to see Army win that win. Brutal loss to USF the week prior.

 

[DJ Spanky]

Happy for Sam Brown, his career has been snakebit by injuries.

Good to see Brown do well. He would’ve been a great player at Rutgers if he wasn’t snake it with injuries.

Good to see Shepherd do well at Temple since “he wasn’t good enough bough for Rutgers” and that others were better than him. Guy never got a legit shot at Rutgers. Oh well.

QBs who were stuck as backups at RU that went on to shine in their new roles as starters elsewhere. While we have our two now who are capable of 4 turnover games. When will it be our turn to be happy

They are both where they should be.

Same with all the others. I don’t think anyone has shined at the B1G or SEC level after leaving?

Free everyone that’s not the starter!!! Our bench guys are all american players.

Our HC should be benched.

 

[Jtung230]

Our HC should be benched.

Free all the other coaches. Can we get a list of coaches people wanted and how they have performed?

 

[MADHAT1]

Our HC should be benched.

Trade him to Temple for KC ,maybe Keeler can bring a band of sunshine with him
As for Brown, his talent is shoeing, injuries was the problem .
Speaking about Ajani , if he was at Rutgers I doubt the praise would be coming with his passing stats ( not bad, but nothing to write home to mother about )

No thanks. KC is already 1-3.

No thanks. KC is already 1-3.

Guess the Howard win made you a believer

Though you're right in saying "No thanks." to my suggestion about hiring KC and
"that's the way, uh-huh, uh-huh
I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh"

 

[RUDiddy777]

Really happy for Brown. The talent was always there for him to be a special player. Hope he can stay healthy and get his chance to play on Sundays, no question he’s got NFL talent.

Schiano is allergic to QBs running but he takes running QBs like Ajani anyway because he doesn't have much choice. Then he doesn't use them. If GS had Pat White on his team he wouldn't let him run. Teel said GS told him not to run. Fear dictates playi9ng with one hand behind the back. Like those silly punt returns where the team had to run away from the ball for "risk mitigation."

If Schiano had Pat White, he’d moved him into the WR room.

True - I actually had a typing error in post - "If GS had Pat White on his team he would let him run" that should have read "wouldn't have let him run"

I didn’t realize that Rialoa is a backup at Oregon. Unbelievable, how much NIL do they have to stash a B1G starting QB on the bench?

North of $50M, top 3 in the country.

Rialoa ? Dolan Rialoa the Orrigan QB ?

Moore, or should Shelby say Morhe, was expected to go pro after last year.

Those stats with an offense that had multiple NFL players in the skill positions and one of the best OLs in the country.

Was Army ranked #2 in the country? Silly comparison.

Only way Rutgers QBs, other than AK, get those stats would be on PS5 and XBox.

 

[tico brown]

No thanks. KC is already 1-3.

His 2 rings says he’s a hell of a better coach than Schiano would ever be.

Might be true about RU's QBs, but Sheppard's stats are just as unacceptable

That's true, but we should aim higher than an old coach whose career is showing signs of decline.

 

[Bueller]

The conditional thing about Ajani's passing stats is that he had 242 yds with passing average of 12.1 which is higher than average (Lonergan was 7.0 vs USC). The further that QBs are throwing the lower their completion rate will be. I saw Ajani in HS a fair bit and knew he was a dual threat playmaker more than a pocket compiler (as Francesa would say). RU was his biggest team offer but I knew GS would waste him


"What a perfect pass!"

 

[tico brown]

Good point. They missed out on getting him 3 separate times. Still think he could be Rutgers’ Cignetti instead of Brian Kelly.

Meh. Still think they’re better off with a Ryan Carty type who’s needs a chance at a Power Conference school instead of someone who still made excuses at Notre Dame and LSU.
