Seems people think Feaster should be a 25 carry/ 150+yd RB

right now after just 1 year on campus. Personally, I don't ever think he'll be that kind of guy. He's always been more Christian McCaffrey than Wayne Gallman. IMO Feaster's a 25 touches guy, but not a 25 carries guy. We maximize Tavien's talents if he has 15 carries (half of which are perimeter runs), 5 catches (angle routes, wheel routes, check downs, screens, etc.), and 4 to 5 KO returns per game.

Now we saw last year that he clearly wasn't ready for this type of workload. He had his KO duties stripped because he was running too hesitantly. Hopefully, he's fixed that this year and can rightfully take that spot back. Most of his carries last year in limited opportunities were between the tackles. With more carries available this year, I hope Elliot calls more tosses and sweeps for him so he can use his speed on the outside. In the passing game Feaster should be the ultimate weapon (particularly on 3rd down), but as many have said, the pass protection has to be up par.

I think he'll eventually come around to being that gamebreaker he has the potential be, but he's first got to get rid of that hesitancy in his running and just hit it. That more than anything else will keep him off the field.

Well if you look at christians stats he averaged around 24 carries a game past 2 years. So he was a 25 carry type of back plus he caught passes and special teams so i get what you were trying to say but using Mccaffery was a bad choice bc he did average bout 25 carries a game. I think Fiester can be a 20 carry type guy tho I don't think we will need him like that this year but think he will become that type of back. I do agree Fiester is more of a get it to him in space back but I think he will surprise you on the work load he will be able to carry! He looked good in spring game and I think if he gets his pass protection down(think he will) then him and fuller will share the load this year and be thunder lighting 2.0 for clemson.

Hopefully NOT 4-5 KO returns per game

Depends on what you are talking about. Receiving 4-5

Recruiting hype.. people need to realize he could

the pass protection has to be up par

Guy like him should study tapes

if we weren't so stacked at the 2 receiver position

As long as those 4-5 KO returns come

Re: That hesitancy will keep him on the bench if he does not
