1) Magee has lost a step and has not shown a glimpse of being a threat. 3 yards a carry demonstrates it... waste of time.

2) The most dangerous (and the future) is 7 - some of the big talk in the offseason was CC talking about his stamina and ability to go and go and go... hard to do that with a carry or 2 a quarter. This has been asinine.

Fournette should get the bulk of the carries IMO

The guy should be getting 18-20 carries at least. He won't learn anything getting 9 carries a game and lining up as a decoy the rest of the time.

not only should fournette get most of the carries, he should be in the game to pass block so when he DOES have a play called for him, miles isn't telegraphing it.

when he comes into the game on 2nd and 7 and it's a run formation the defense just tees off.

Hallelujah, holy shite! Where's the tylenol.




I noticed on Dellanger's (the Advocate) film break down that Fournette and Collins had a busted pass protection. I immediately thought, "well, wouldn't that have been nice to work on the last two weeks?" But instead we get a steady diet of two TE, two back goal line plays for four quarters.

why would miles try to work on offense for scrub games?

that would be really mean!

You know what's even more hilarious? Go back and watch the Miss St game and tell me how many times our TE's totally missed blocks in the run game. I mean shite man if the tight ends can't fricking block then spread the field. I'm sick of watching this idiotic coaching staff F this thing up all the time.

I agree that right now, Magee is our 4th RB. Dear god if Cam could just find some creative ways to get LF open in space....that kid could do trememdous damage. I really like what I have seen out of D. Williams as well....he catches th ball extremely well which we need to start taking advantage of as well...with him and LF.

as long as most of the carries are out of double tight end or 2 wr iformation sets it really doesn't matter who gets the carries

LF and Hilliard should both get the majority of carries with Magee and DW getting a few here and there. I think Magee is a little overweight for his running style. Hilliard has looked good this year and deserves to get the ball some.

It is sooo cool and edgy to refer to the players by their number.

FB dive is all we get to see out of the young man right now unfortunately. I understand being loyal to the seniors, but let the best kids play...

LF will be good but he's too tentative. His run on the goal line should've been a TD but he was too worried about losing the ball.

Darrel Williams runs hard. needs more carries from the TB spot, not so much FB. I don't really wanna see us run more than 3 RBs, just no sure who the odd man out is out of Hilliard and Magee.

Magee ran well from the gun at times last yr, really wish he'd get some carries like that again.

Magee


Yeah, he doesn't look as quick as he did last year. I liked the idea of faking the jet sweep, but not with TM. He didn't get through the backfield quickly and so the deception factor wasn't really there. Running it with Fournette worked better. Having a WR go flying through the backfield to really sell it would be another option.

You didn't mention Kenny Hilliard, but he's been really good. Not a lot of room against MSU, but he did have some nice runs. On the play right before the fake to Fournette, Hilliard picked up a first down and ran over MSU's 250-pound MLB Benardrick McKinney.

Yes TM doesn't look like the player he was last year. His YPC is less than half of 7.3 last year. Of course none of them are getting consistent blocking. Yes LF needs more touches.

Fournette should get AT LEAST 20 carries a game.
