Shep back in the mix?

For the rantards that have given up on RS what's the latest? Did his performance last night change your view of him and his contributions on the field for 2012?
IMHO he is the X-factor for us to win a BCS title and run the table in 2012. Sounded to me like he had a good game catching the ball last night and maybe has moved into another "good-fit" role of returning kickoffs with his speed and vision.
BTW: I think his non-TD catch call last week was debatable. He didn't really drop the ball so much as the ground caused him to lose control. With ODBJr, JLandry, and RShep we have a formidable receiving corps when Mett is throwing the football. KBoone is a good 4th WR. Geaux Tigers!

I agree that Shep played great last night and could be a valuable contributor down the stretch. But you've forgotten James Wright.

what is the deal with james wright.
Posted on 9/16/12 at 9:21 am to DrD
they should be letting rs return kicks or punts

Not really. One of the top WRs didn't play so he got more opportunities than normal.

he snagged a pretty tough ball last night. I hope last night got the monkey off his back and he'll be more consistent going forward because we'll definitely need him.

that pass he caught from met in the first quarter should have been 6. didn't keep track of the sideline to well.

Shep played well last night. He even lined up at RB and had a great play. He has the potential to be a Percy Harvin type of player. I hope Les keeps giving him the ball at receiver and at RB.

HC: Thanks for reference to Mr. Wright. All those guys are tremendous athletes and gifted football players. I hope he comes through when needed as well. Geaux Tigers!

you are right, he does remind me of percy.

He's not a natural receiver, but he did step up his game last night. I think another receiver would have caught River's deep ball, and he did drop another. Both of those put an end to drives.
However, I think he can improve into the receiver we all want to see. He's just not there yet.

never looked at it like that. Good comparison. He can make plays in space.

The Rivers pass is almost an impossible catch - he laid out 100% and still had to catch with just hands, he didn't have his chest/body to help secure the ball like a lot of diving catches are caught.... Very few NFL players could make that catch. You can't watch that play and fully expect him to catch that ball.

No it shouldn't have. It was a hell of a catch by Shep and in no way should have been 6.

Very happy for Shep.

I agree - he made sure he secured tHe ball before worrying about running with it.... y'all get made when he drops the ball, and now when he makes a good catch you're upset he didn't score..... Geez
