So your commenting on the play call and not the explosive ability of the guy that caught the ball?
Who gives a shite what the play call was just focus on the astounding ability of the player.

Dude you have no idea what you’re talking about then. I’ve seen all the RBs we had last year and Fournette was our best back and would have shown it had he not gotten hurt. He was still hurt in the last few games that he played in was just much healthier than he had been all year.
He has the best vision, power, quickness, and cutting ability then anyone I saw last year and that’s just from the little I’ve seen. His vision was twice what the others were last year. It’s not his fault he was wide open and he missed one pass that I saw. So have the WRs who do it for a living. It happens sometimes.
Coach O even said that Fournette was probably our best back last year but just couldn’t stay healthy. He’s going to get his carries to start the year and will likely start with CEH to start the year with Curry or one of the freshman getting the remaining carries. You’ll see his talent at that point. IMO he will be a 3rd round pick by seasons end unless one of the freshman just demand the carries. There’s no doubt that the two freshman are much more naturally talented but that doesn’t always equate to carries. Look how talented LF was and he didn’t do near as good as some thought he would his first year.
Watch out for his little bro. Most people see a ranking and just say he’s 3rd string, well he’s much much better than your typical low rated RB. I think he’s going to have a very good year.

Absolutely he could.

Well if one is true then both statements would be true read bro. I said “unless” which negates the reason for you to say false in the first place if the other statement rings true but that is hardly a given.
I saw what LF and all his talent did his first season and it wasn’t all that great. I believe his little bro is a better all around back now then his older bro was as a freshman. I didn’t say more talented, I said better overall back. Talent only gets you so far. You have to be accustom to the speed and be a tough SOB. Y’all have no clue if Emery is even tough enough to take these hits everyday. Lol y’all have no clue.

There is not a lot for you to be basing this opinion on.

Lanard, is that you?
Posted on 7/5/19 at 3:11 am to Jack Crevalle
Honestly, I don’t think there will be a single feature back this year. CEH is a cannon ball, Curry is ripe to become a Ware type of back, Lanard is the best pass-catcher our of the backfield, and each of them do the other things at a very high level, as well.
I expect the same sort of arc for Emery and Davis that happened for Darrell Williams and Fournette. Williams was the more north-south runner, so he was more ready earlier in the season to get touches. For guys who put moves on, like Fournette and Emery, they need to feel it out first. It don’t take long—just a couple of games, but I expect Emery to get into his groove around the second quarter of the season.

I think CEH will take the next step and be a very productive player, but more importantly leader! Just remember Leonard had all the talent in the world, but talent doesn't equal experience and leadership skills at the freshman level. I also think Curry will surprise....JMHO!

I think this was about seniority more than anything. If you watch the tape of each guy side by side, Clyde played better than Nick. Clyde broke more tackles, made more guys miss, and hit the holes way harder than Brossette could. I think the coaches either felt like nick had earned his carries or that they felt like the ball was safer in his hands. Clyde was obviously the superior talent in my opinion.
This is by far just a failed attempt to sound smart.
Clyde had the best game of the season of any running back against Georgia.
But other than that game Nick was the better runner and pass protector.
Clyde couldn't gain yards in the first 2 games because he lacks vision between the tackles.
Get him in space or on the outside and he does well.
But to make this stupid claim of him being the better back last year was laughable.
Hell Orgeron insulted Brossette twice before the first game. But it was clear he was the best option.
Post less about "watching film" until you actually put on the film and know what you're looking at and not watching from a fans perspective.

Heres the easy way to "guess".
Lets saya they all play at 100% of their ability...who has the most ability/potential ?
My guess is Emery. 5 star RBs are special and usually are cant miss prospects. That position is heavily scrutinized and evaluated during the rating process, to the point where i believe its the most accurate.
Emory will play and play often. If he does and you see hes "in a groove", you leave him in

Emery/Davis/Curry- 1st, second down
CEH/Fournette- 3rd down/passing situations
CEH is best at pass protection and catching out of the backfield. He gets 60 receptions this year.

Not trying/claiming to be smart, but I've rewatched the games over and over, and can say that it was infuriating to watch Nick get so many more carries than Clyde when Clyde would consistently have better runs than Nick. The UGA game you mentioned is a perfect example of that: it was one of the only game where clyde got a serious number of carries, and he was awesome. I think you and I actually agree on how good Brossette is, but almost no one gives clyde his credit because he's small. CLYDE WAS THE STRONGER RUNNER. Go try to find when Brossette made a guy miss or ran through someone - you won't find many. Clyde, on the other hand, was always finding ways to get extra yards with jump cuts, spin moves, and physical running with his low frame and powerful legs. Oh, and he's also about twice as fast as Nick.

Neither were top tier runners.
If Emery and Davis cannot show enough to take carries away from CEH and Curry, i will be disappointed.

You're probably right - I'm extremely biased towards Clyde

CUrry is a short yardage back at best & is more likely to end up at FB than to ever be a feature back here
That might work in high school, but not in the SEC or major colleges in general. Even Leonard Fournette (a couple highlight runs aside) was stuffed whenever he just tried to steamroll people.
Curious to see if Curry has vision, and has changed his attitude this year.
