Amari Rodgers

I know that he has been highly touted as possibly being Scott 2.0, no dis-respect to Scott, he was clutch and left his mark. His punt returns will be missed. I haven't watched more than the you tube film on Rodgers, seems really fast and his " cut's away " from defenders is something he seems to do well. Again, I didn't keep up with his recruitment very well. Good hands from what I could see on videos. Has a good build for his position also. With that being said, with the loss of Scott, and Ray-Ray being that next guy up in that role that Scott had ( in most facets ) how many touches/carries do you think Rodgers will see this year?

If our starters play to their potential I don't know if he will see the field a ton this year. But if Ray Ray or whoever struggles at all, he could get some PT. He may be overlooked a little because of the Tee hype (justly deserved hype) but Amari will be a big time player for us. Love the way he high points the ball for a sub-six foot guy.. I mean he REALLY goes up and gets it

Yea, it's going to be a very competitive year in the WR group. Another good problem to have. He seems to be a more versatile player, maybe with some kickoff return opportunity to get him in the mix.

I think it will be a short learning curve for him. His dad is a coach so he'll probably have the fundamentals down pretty well.

Rodgers is ready to come in, compete, and get playing time. The WR group is strong, very strong. Cain, Renfrow, McCloud, Overton, Powell, Thompson, Chase, then add Higgins and Rodgers. This position is strong. His strong point is what he can do after the catch.

The last play

Of the 2016 season featured Scott. A lot of fans missed the great block that he made to allow HR to be open for the historic play to end a historic season. Receivers who can block are worth their weight in gold..... especially this year if we relay on the run. Can Rogers block? We will see.

This goes without saying. The coaches are great at teaching WRs to block. I'm pretty sure this has been relayed to every WR recruited to Clemson. Getting Rodgers is big. He is overshadowed by Higgins and the hype, but he will produce. He is a star in the making.

I liken Rodgers/Higgins to McCloud/Cain
Jun 22, 2017, 12:01 PM

Cain didn't get downplayed to McCloud like Rodgers is to Higgins, but to me, they are in similar positions from the perception aspect. but like Cain, I expect Rodgers to produce in every given oppportunity, with better hands than Cain...

I think you mean that Scott had a great "rub" on the Renfrow td.

Either way is fine by me. We just don't need to call it a block. Agreed?

it was a block by Tay on his guy
Jun 23, 2017, 1:15 PM
|
|
but Tay's guy was trying to take advantage of the contact rule by throwing Tay to the ground, BUT his decision to do that caused him to cross paths with his teammate, impeding his progress in his coverage on Renfrow and the rest is history... that play is no different from a pick and roll in basketball, the key is to recognize and make the switch, which Bama's DBs didn't do

Feel the same way thing he was over shadowed by Tee Higgins! I think Amari Rodgers will be beast for us just think he might be easied in bc of the amount talent we got at WR and it depends on QB and how well they throw. Lot of factors to make a reception guess at this point but we will see in fall camp. Though I think this will be Ray Ray's break out year and finally clicks all the way and the game slows down for him!

I will honestly admit, that since Ray-Ray dropped early catches I lost a little faith. Needless to say, that's why Scott came back in on PR. However, Dabo thinks really highly of him and I think the kid can play, not to mention fast. If he's shown to have more sticky on his gloves this year, then it might be tougher for Rodgers to get PT since he plays that versatile WR position. Either way, Rodgers is going to be outstanding for Clemson at some point in time. This group is so deep, Higgins will get some early playing time IMO because of sheer length and talent. Rodgers has to the talent and hops to match, but Higgins is more of mis-match. To be clear though, so can Hunter Renfrow be also. Just goes to show, all that WR talent stocked up.

Uhhhhhhhh.......Cain was not the subject of the thread, Rodgers was and his impending impact on Clemson football. We all know what Cain and Renfrow can do.
