why don't you list the different ways our coaching staff put the ball in his hands. Then find me another player who touched the ball in so many different ways for us. The coaching staff was limited because his passing is atrocious and he can't catch. That removes kickoffs and punt returns. Limits your plays at WR to only running plays. His plays at RB were limited because he isn't big enough to pick up a blitz and was inconsistent catching passes out of the backfield.

The coaches tried to put him on the field a ton of different ways. He was limited because all he could do is run.

You can't start at WR if you can't catch. And you won't get 10 plays at RB if you can't pass block or catch.

zero creativity to get him the ball. Zero creativity on our offense.

Really? They've handed the ball off to him and they've thrown him the ball. What else do you want? Flee flickers, Hook and Lateral?
Shep is not this great talent that was squandered by the staff. Like I said , he doesn't have elite speed, he has below avg hands, and runs some of the worst routes I've ever seen and he goes down at the first touch.

All you posters defending Shep , must have missed his tweet saying," every recruit from Texas, should go to A&M". That's what your hero said.
