Big Tyler Shelvin

amazing how good he has been this year.


Hoping to see him and Ika on the field at the same time for a few first downs to see how they blow up the LOS. doubtful but would be fun to see.

Same. I remember making the comment that he had all the talent in the world and was going to eat himself out of being a millionaire if he doesn't wake up. Happy to see him get it together.

I could be wrong, but I could have sworn Ika and Shelvin were on the field in the 2nd half of early downs against Florida.

Ika is a load as well

I say it every time one of these threads pops up.

He’s the most improved player on the team not named Joe Burrow.

I think the true starting oline has been outstanding this year. Maybe it's a good thing that Charles can only play in the really big games because it keeps him motivated and healthy, he is looking all world. Not to mention Cushenbery, D. Lewis, Deculus has improved greatly and the left guard is very solid with Adrian Magee and Ed Ingram.

I truly think the whole team is coming into their own (other than York and I hope he gets his mechanics figured out). Great punting. The defense is finally healthy, Delpit has been moved to strong safety and is dominating once again, jacoby Stevens is looking great at free safety but he's got to control the emotions. Fulton is healthy again and has looked great and we all know Stingley is all American and will be the best db in all of college (both can live on an island). Just imagine if one of we get a nickle to be dominant (not taking away from Vincent because he's improving as well). Imagine if the defense can figure out pressure with 4 down linemen.

We are almost there fellas and we are getting there at the exact time we need to. National championship in Nola. Bring on the good luck and let Joe get the Heisman and a championship. It would change the entire complexity of the SEC.

I can't say much about the offensive skill players, especially with Terrace Marshall back. Well I will say that Davis-Price is looking very similar to Jeremy Hill. This is the best chance at it all and I'm enjoying every damn second.

A guy can dream, right?

Our defense is totally different (worse) without him. He's that important, playing that well, and for a surprising number of snaps.

The cherry on top is the fact that when players are struggling with conditioning, effort, and/or the classroom odds are they will not turn it around.

He's one that did. From overweight and in the doghouse to the anchor of a defense. You don't see that often. THAT is character. It's one thing to 'stay the course', start a stud with no issues and stay a stud (hard enough to do in of itself). But to turn it around, that says extraordinary things about Shelvin AND the staff to give him the tools/coaching and support.

I look at Shelvin and see a player I'd want to be right beside me, and coaches behind him that will and can do their jobs and not be lazy and give up.

I know he doesn't have the pretty stats like Derrik Brown but I think he is just as athletic and powerful. What does the rant think?

Lawrence is a very good player, but he isn’t nearly as good as Brown. Brown is top half of first round; Lawrence might be a third round guy.

As far as Shelvin? He’s looked great this year, and THIS is his game. Eating two blockers, or getting a one yard push, makes a huge difference in the run game.

I have clarified my post, I was comparing Shelvin to Brown.

I’d love to see #72 get rewarded. Line him up at fullback. Let him punch in the 7th TD of the night against Auburn, straight at a demoralized Derrick Brown.
