For those who have been critical of Russell Shepard's play

I fall into this category, and have felt that his playing time at WR has been forced. Figured it was only a matter of time before Jarvis Landry took over, because Shepard just wasn't that physical.
Yesterday, Russell Shepard blocked his arse off, and if anyone needs any evidence to the point, I'll make a list of plays I watched last night on the DVR. Didn't matter if it was playside, backside or even the actual critical block at the point of attack, Shepard came through.
I'm talking about the kind of stuff that keeps you on the field.
Kudos to Shep!

As he always does. Which is more than likely why he is still starting. Our offense needs good outside blockers. Good thing LSU hasn't gotten away from WR's who can block. To caveat on that I wish Shep wasn't so scared to take a hit.

Shep was making sick blocks for sure. Hope he can break out next year.

I remember the time out he called but was never certain why. Toomany LSU on the field; bad defense for play called? Enlighten me please.

Wrong number of players on LOS

not only did he make the key block down field on the JJ TD run,
but he actually went down (giving up the hope of a TD)
to make a RECEPTION when the game was still on the line. AT LAST!!

Jarvis Landry is an excellent blocker.
Just playing devils advocate here, I like RS

I agree Wahoocs. I saw that. He was key on several blocks, he even pancaked some DB to spring one big run.

Well, of course he is. That's just one of the reasons I used to make my earlier assessment.
And Shep has not looked in the same stratosphere as Landry on special teams, too.
But, none of that changes the fact that Shepard went out there yesterday and showed that when needed most, he could perform to the standard necessary, in all facets of the game.

Imhave been critical of sheep but he played his best game as a tiger yesterday in my opinion. I hope he improves over the offseason.

I'm going to shamelessly bump this thread, because I think there's more of us out there that need to step up and give props.
