Clyde is steady and always executes, but he is not explosive.

I understand giving him 90% of the reps in a hostile environment, not wanting to put a freshman out there.
But at what point will John Emery make a move for more playing time? Not one play last night. I'm wondering what is holding back "the best back in the country."
Blocking? Not knowing the plays?

You made this up

He played great in my opinion, got better as the game went on.

He “got small” several times last night and just blew through the line for chunk yardage.

He doesn’t know the plays go back and watch the GSU game dude barely knew where to line up Joe had to correct him everytime

someone posted his 40 time in HS a while back and it was in the high 4.3s
he looks like a high 4.5 low 4.6

He made some sick cuts in the hole to make something out of nothing last night

You mean a QB in an RPO offense moving his RB to get a read on the coverage?
CEH is in there because he can catch, run, and block. He may not be the best pure anything, but he gives the offense the most versatility.

CEH is Dalton Hilliard 2.0. Cat quick and powerful with good instincts and excellent receiving skills but just isn’t a HR threat. He definitely should have a prominent role.
I was more disappointed in the # of snaps Fournette got. I know he tries hard and is a tough runner/receiver but he just doesn’t have the skills of the 2 Fr. I do understand holding them back on the big stage on the road.

If you watch the last 3rd & 17 play for the TD -- it was CEH's KEY block that allowed Burrow to get out of the slammed pocket and pass to the WR

Burrow gave props to CEH for that block during post game interview.

CEH is slow period. That being said, it was the right call to play the vets last night. CEH didn’t fumble the ball, he didn’t dance in the hole, he put his head down and got tough yards. The last thing you want is young talented back trying to do too much in a crazy atmosphere in only his second college game. One turnover or losing yards trying to do too much can change the outcome of a game like that.

if LSU had wanted to be more balanced, with the way they were passing the ball, CEH would have eaten on the ground.
Consider this, on LSU's last 2 scoring drive, they ran 12 plays. 10 were passes. The second-to-last one was capped by a CEH 12 yd TD run that was wide the frick open.
Never have i seen a fan base complain about a running back coming off a 5.8 ypc game.
No one is talking about how terrible Fournette was, the guy this board clamored over all offseason. He should never get carries.

I agree. CEH made plays and I think he did a great job.
Posted on 9/8/19 at 11:21 am to GreyBear
Yes, he did have a good block on that play
He also whiffed on one that cost us a TD.
Helaire has a place in this offense, I just don’t think it should be as the feature back, meaning that we shouldn’t give him 3 plays in a row attempting to isolate him in the flat.
By my count, he had 2 plays he gained YAC, and he made only one guy miss, which occurred on our last FD with 3 min left in the game. Surely, with the stable of backs we have, we can do better.
An occasional play outside the tackles for him is definitely needed to keep them honest, but we ran at least 6 passes in the flat to 22, and he didn’t even catch 3 of them, and never made the first defender miss.

I saw a few nice spins and stiff-arms. They can’t all be Leonard Fournette

See my post above. That’s what people should be complaining about (if they have to complain about anything). LF tries real hard and give great effort but he just isn’t in the same league as the 2 Fr.

Looks closer to 4.8. He runs away from no one
Posted on 9/8/19 at 11:24 am to Slippy
I think CEH is getting far more criticism than he deserves. He's not a huge home run threat but he's got great lateral quickness and a NASTY spin move. He also is a powerful runner, a decent pass catcher, and a good pass blocker. He's quite obviously the most complete back on the team at this point imo.

Obviously you missed a lot of the game. CEH had a great spin move to avoid a loss and get a first down on one of the 1st drives. He broke a ton of arm tackles as well.
