17'ing Shumpert

[MaroonNation]

I hope you don't get another second of playing time this season

 

[57stratdawg]

He sucks man.

 

[Joe Schmedlap]

He brings nothing to the table other than blocking ability.

 

[fader2103]

I don't think that the 2 pt conversion was on him. The ball was thrown short. But someone said on the radio the other day Shump will get you 3 yards when you need 5 and will get you 7 when you need 5. I don't think he is bad RB, but he definitely is not a starting SEC back

I don't think that the 2 pt conversion was on him. The ball was thrown short.

He dropped the ball when he hit the ground. But Dak threw the ball the only place he could. He might could have floated it, I'll have to watch the replay, but Dak doesn't have air under his passes anyway.

 

[Shamoan]

a 4* recruiting battle i kinda wish we had lost. no shake to him whatsoever.

 

[fader2103]

He was already falling to the ground. His butt would have been on the ground if he caught it where he did an inches before the goal line. Oh well, no matter what we lost. It sucks

 

[Shamoan]

agreed, rushed throw due to pressure up the middle lead to a pass that put shump in a bad position. had he caught it, the would have been down short of the line anyway.

 

[MaroonNation]

He is a horrible running back. Beyond horrible. We are in the SEC. We recruited him to be a SEC running back

 

[BoDawg.sixpack]

It's time for Malik at RB.

 

[Seinfeld]

As someone posted a little earlier, he truly is a glorified fullback

Whatever "it" is that makes an every down SEC running back, Shumpert doesn't have it. Simple as that

 

[Dawg1976]

Shump should be brought in for blocking, special team play but certainly not our featured RB. Williams and Lee must really suck if Shumpert beat them out.

 

[lowbird]

you think shumpert is bad, holloway is teeeerrible.

 

[MaroonNation]

I guarentee you Holloway had twice the yards that Shumpert did tonight. Holloway is also more elusive. Shumpert looks like Micheal Johnson running out there. Straight up!

 

[MaroonNation]

The "it" is another 50 or so pounds and a bad case of the nasties. I can see Shumpert catching and petting butterflies prior to games.

 

[121Josey]

you think shumpert is bad, holloway is teeeerrible.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't the running game improve some if Mullen would, you know, get Dak involved a little more?

 

[FlotownDawg]

Holloway looked pretty good to me. Yes he is small but he has good vision and hits the hole hard. Much more than I can say for Shumpert.

 

[Seinfeld]

I'll add to that that if Shumpert hit the line with half the intensity of Holloway, he might actually get up to 3.5 yds/carry. Holloway obviously has some physical limitations, but the kid gives it all he has every time I see him

 

[lowbird]

Well by God he got em by 7 yards, holloway is too small. I'm not sayin shumpert is better I'm sayin we're 17d at RB.

 

[Dogariffic]

He had 7.5 yards a carry. Some woukd say we did not give him the ball enough. .....and i cant believe i just wrote that....this is the SEC West. We must have a running game.
That said we quit running in the 3rd-4 th playing catch up.. #factor

 

[J-Dawg]

If we want our RBs to become a factor, we've got to get Dak more involved in the run game, and not just designed runs. Option reads seem like the obvious tool to make defenses respect RBs and QB in the run game but I haven't seen us run it truly yet.

 

[MaroonNation]

That was what allowed us in the game. He should have given up on the run in the 2Q.

[Fogdog]

On HALF the carries, low....

Wake up, dude.

 

[kired]

I've said it since I watched him in highschool --- he's playing on the wrong side of the ball for us. He's a talented athlete but would be better on defense.
