Interesting comment from Shep

In a new article posted on TSD, Shep had this to say when asked if he will throw the ball at some point now that he plays WR as well...
I wonder if that is part frustration on his part.
To be fair I do think the staff is trying to bring him along, sometimes at the expense of the offensive flow of the game. I agreed with Bob Davie on his comment about Crowton trying to do too much with Shep until I saw how fast he could blow the game open.
But he still has ways to go to match the production of Percy Harvin as a freshman:

“I could have gloves on one night or I can just not play another night. You never know with me,”

I think we will be seeing him at WR,RB and in the wildcat. As long as he is productive I dont care if we ever throws a pass in his whole career

Well when Shep gets 75 touches in a year....

In the 1st quarter the other night, it seemed to me that Les had been reading the rant and was trying to get back on their good side. It did seem like they were forcing it. Wasn't he in on the second play?

I think this weekend would be the perfect opportunity to let Shep throw the ball. Does two things gets him experience throwing it, and gives Bama one more wrinkle to think about.

I thought freshman were not allowed to talk to the media

I had read that story last night and was actually encouraged by it. While you have to take whatever an athlete says (to local media in an essentially supervised environment) with a substantial grain of salt, I also think you have to dig very deep to find any evidence of frustration or impatience with the staff.
You also omitted the rest of the sentence in which that quote appeared.
So at the risk of being labeled a koolaid drinker, or sunshine pumper, I won't read that as a negative. Those of you who have TSD premium should read it for yourself and draw your own conclusions.
I agree with the many posts on here that it would be great to find additional ways to involve RS. I spent some time trying to dream up such plays last night; I'm sure they'd all work for TD's

Its only a matter of time before Shep is the star of the offense. If it doesnt happen this season, it will be the first game of 2010. He still looks kind of nervous and overwhelmed out of the field. Once he calms down and gets his nerves under control he will be a complete monster.
