re: Russell Shepard getting some NFL pub

Ridley got a ton of carries, Williams has been used the same way in the NFL as he was at LSU.

Also, some players continue to develope for years and get better in the NFL than they were in college. I hope Russell does too. Marcus Allen was a blocking back at USC for 3 years, as was William Andrews at Auburn.

Shep had 4 years to convince the staff he should have gotten more playing time. But in their minds he didn't develope enough even though he had the tools. Since he will now be a full time football player maybe he will really start developing. I hope so.

K. Williams was not good enough and always in a DOGHOUSE then he played well at Wash and Detroit, same as Steven Ridley was not good enough to be our RB for the whole season or a whole game. Now he starts for the Pats and can run against NFL

What?

Williams was the second leading rusher every season he was at LSU. In the NFL he played mostly because of injuries in the Redskins and Lions backfield. Last year he had a whopping 3 carries.

Stevan Ridley was all SEC, here's some of his accomplishments his junior year at LSU:

rushing for 1,147 yards and 15 touchdowns in what was his first full season as the Tigers' primary running back ... Earned first-team All-SEC honors from the league's coaches and second-team all-conference recognition from the Associated Press ... Became the 13th 1,000-yard rusher in a season for LSU in 2010 ... The 1,147 yards rank as seventh-highest season total in school history, while his 15 rushing TDs tie Kevin Faulk (1997) as the fourth-best mark for a season in LSU history ... Ranked fourth in the SEC in rushing yards and yards per game (88.2) ... Tied for second in the league with 249 carries, which is the fifth-highest total in school history
