Why are they sending R.Shep deep?

Cause he plays WR?

and he's kinda fast.

Because he is a WR

Shep hasn't proven to have the hands yet IMO

It is also easier to catch deep balls than short quick passes, so this logic is broken.

yes (except the tebow factor obviously changes things a bit)

it seemed as though the route was not executed properly when they went deep with him and Tolliver. I agree about him getting separation from the dbs. Hmmmm...I guess I was off on the catchability of short pass vs. long ball--but it makes sense. He still needs to work on catches though...I don't think anyone can argue against that...

That deep potential TD that he missed was perfect on both ends. The ball just went right through his hands. Shep had great position on the corner. He is doing just fine going deep...he just has to start catching the ball more consistently.

Why do the Gators send Percy Harvin deep against LSU in 2008?

He has the moves and the speed to get open deep, that's why. He needs to improve his catching which will happen by the time we hit the meat of the schedule.

This. I think the coaches need to get away from quitting on certain plays because they weren't executed properly. You could tell they didn't want to throw the ball much cause of JJ's game against Vandy. When JJ was showing he was on his game, they should have aired it out more often. Shep works too hard to continue to drop passes. Keep feeding him the ball and he will start to make those grabs. It seems like they are letting fear dictate their playcalling rather than what would work best in that given situation. Not every play is going to be executed to perfection, college or pros. Doesn't mean we should throw it out the playbook. I think we missed a huge opportunity to get JJ rolling against MState. Taking Shep out of certain plays will not help this team in the long run.
