You've got wonder if he is getting frustrated with his lack of involvement in the offense.

When he got the ball tonight he didn't do anything with it because Florida was ready for him.

Idk how he isnt
Reuben Randal needs more touches as well. He is dangerous with the ball in his hands

We seem to be wasting offense with the hand off, hand off, short pass play calling.
Cuts down on the opportunities when you just go 3 and out

Honestly, his problem is he is a VERY mediocre WR and let's be blunt, he is NOT going to be the every down RB.

So, on the occasion we want to give him the ball, we are basically forced to put him in the backfield making his getting the ball have all the surprise of a hollywood marriage breaking up.

Play Lee! They are sitting on the option and end-arounds with JJ.

I'm sry but I disagree with trying to get RS touches tonight. It is very hard to outrun Florida to the sidelines. The only way I would use him against Florida tonight would be wildcat or wr middle screens. but he could not get the corner today.

Maybe we are just going to have face it that he isn't all he was cracked up to be. He is a good player, no doubt. I just imagined by now he would be much more of a "feature" in our offense.

They are keying on him.. A couple of the slants or hitches over the middle, they are open bc Shep is swinging out of the backfield and bringing a defender with him.. They definitely gameplan for him.. Gotta find more clever ways to get it to him.

Still on a huge learning curve here, and understood this year was going to be frustrated at times. He's a great team player, and I'm sure he likes winning more than stats.

Honestly, BOTH TT and RR look better after the catch than RS.

Maybe one day, RS will be that guy. But right now, he's just a pretty fast dude with a lot of HS hype that can't get open and has average hands.

Dude, he scored 3 TDs in his first 10 touches or so this year.

He's plenty good.

How about running him as a wildcat QB?
