Anyone want to talk some Football? (RB Content)

Since it's Saturday maybe someone wants to turf talk ?
What do you think the backfield's depth chart will look like going into Athens? Are you comfortable with it?
I really hope Gallman continues to emerge- he is our Home Run Threat.
We no longer have Boyd up the Middle on 4th and 1. So Zac Brooks or CJ Davidson needs to step up and be that bruiser. Rotating in DJ Howard (who never had impressed me but has been behind some good ones on the depth chart) we should have a good stable of backs.
My concern is Chad Morris' decisions to abandon the run so quickly. I cant help but think the absence of a true home run threat factors in as the defense does not respect the break away possibility. I hope we find that in Gallman

I say Gallman starts, and I guarantee that

Kurt Fleming will be that bruiser, the guys a cannonball. When I say Gallman will start, I think he will be first on the depth chart, but will have the same amount of playing time as most of the other backs. I feel really good about our RB group as a whole this year, with CJ Davidsons speed, Kurt Flemings bruiser style of running, DJ Howard looks similar to Hot Rod, Zac Brooks will be great for a HB pass, and Gallman looks like he can pick up some nice yards.

Probably a little "running back by committee", which is really not a bad situation at all. I was really impressed by Davidson in the spring game, Howard and Brooks seem solid, and they do have some experience. It will be competitive and interesting for the RB's in fall practice.

With such a variety of quality RB's I think one of the criteria for being considered a starter is blocking ability. That's another reason I think DJ might get the nod though summer workouts could change theses kid's shape a lot.

I think for the sake of seniority Dabo will start DJ but I think Zac gets the most carries and Gallman gains the most yardage.

I would think they would play the back or backs that can get it done! DJ has not in 4 years...Brooks is NOT a RB but rather an excellent receiver (see his HS vids and last years Uga game).

Oh yeah I agree DJ hasn't really shown anything, and yes Zac Brooks can catch out of the backfield but he is a running back. At least he was in the spring game

Would 9-3 with win over the Coots be a good season?

Losing to the Coots now means we're out of playoff contention --- regardless of what has happened thusfar during that season due to it beeing OOC and late in the season. So...

At tally, at Athens, vs the Coots, Lville and even UNC. This is going to be a hard year to win them all.

Howard is running hard but not very big,hopefully new big guy will prevail?

I think we will use Kurt Fleming on short yard and goal line situations. RB is the least of our concerns. The WR do not seem to be able to get many yards after catch. Also, the big question mark is Special Teams. We had plenty of blunders on kick off returns that cost us the game in WILLIE B last year. We need to field the ball and get good field position. Our O Line looked promising for a Unit divided on the field at the Spring Game. When they operate as a complete set I see some depth that may be needed in the season. QB should be no question. Everyone assumes that Cole Stoudt isn't a dual threat. Think again, he weighs more than Tajh Boyd and is actually faster than Boyd. He seems to do check downs better and has a high rate of accuracy compared to most. His poise in the pocket shows maturity and discipline. I don't think Watson will play this year because I believe Nick Shuessler did a fine job backing up Chad and Cole during Spring game. At Half Time he was the more accurate of the 3 QBs out there. He just doesn't have a great deep attack. However, he was taking what the defense was giving him by exploiting the gaps in the defensive secondary. He can keep the chains moving. Shuessler actually won a State Championship at his high school. I have faith in that kid.
I expect to see Tyshon Dye about Mid-Season since he already Red Shirted last year. I do not think he will miss out. Oh and let us not forget Charone Peake coming back in who was actually rated higher than Sammy during the recruitment. He has battled injuries for 2 seasons but is expected to be at 100 percent by August. Then you have Mike Williams and Germone Hopper as well. I think that Demarre Kitt will be an impact along with Kyrin Priester and Artis Scott. We are in good shape all around. The question mark is the Offensive Line and the Special Teams. We cannot afford to lose QBs to injuries so we need depth at the O Line... That is all.

Gallman appears to be what the staff has been searching for
Apr 19, 2014, 1:16 PM

He seems to be as close to the total package as we've had in a while.
Big, strong, quick, elusive, good blocker who can catch a pass out of the backfield.
I think he will emerge from fall practice as the starter with a combination of the others getting a lot of snaps in certain situations.
I'm just not as certain as some folks seem to be that Kurt Fleming will see the field much this year. He was impressive during 3-4 plays in the O&W game, but that honestly doesn't mean too much. It will be interesting to see where he stands after fall camp.

I think Fleming will be big factor this season. After watching his high school tapes and the spring game...I'm impressed. He broke a lot of long runs on his highlight videos but that can be deceiving. (Will it translate over to the college level) Then in the Orange and White game he took off and showed some speed to go with his size. I'm on his bandwagon!
I think the coaches are keeping him under the radar, along with some other newbie's. (Artvis Scott/Kyrin Priester/TJ Green, etc) No need to put to much information out there.

I think we'll see a lot more wild cat this year
Apr 19, 2014, 8:02 PM
|

Why? Because I can dream I guess. It wouldn't surprise me if we see more of it. People keep trying to convince me that Cole is going to be a better runner than tajh, but I just don't see it and I think we're going to rely a lot more on our RBs.
I totally forgot about Dye, but I think we're going be fine at RB. Our issue is going to be the O line. If they can't make the running lanes or buy time for a pocket passer we're in trouble.

Wild Cat?? Please, no!
Apr 19, 2014, 8:10 PM
|

Even when we have had great athletes like Justin Miller, CJ, Sammy, Andre Ellington, and James Davis, it just seems as if the Wild Cat has always amounted to a wasted down the times we've tried it. I'm just not a fan of the Wild Cat. But, I suppose if it ever actually worked, I could change my mind quickly, LOL.

I think Brooks goes out at RB on the first play. Maybe even Howard just for the experience factor of carrying the ball in a high intensity game
