New Story: Gallman's absence hurt, so where was Feaster?


Oct 16, 2016, 8:01 AM

 
Gallman's absence hurt, so where was Feaster?

Running backs coach and co-offensive coordinator Tony Elliott has the deepest and possibly the most talented stable of backs that he’s had during his time at Clemson, but the heart and soul of that group is junior Wayne Gallman. Where was Tavien Feaster when the offense needed a spark? Full Story »

...Heisman candidate QB that they don't want to get hit. Feaster has clearly got some things to learn in the pass rushes that he felt would "confuse" a young player.

I'm impressed with the clarity, analytical, comprehensive, and contemplative analysis that the staff seems to have relative to who is getting playing time and why or why not.

This Clemson coaching staff seems to be as good as it gets from top to bottom.

The Feaster show could be like the jumbo package. Run a screen or wheel route or jet sweep with him. Speed is a killer, always has been. You can't tackle what you can't catch. Later in a game tired guys can't catch a fresh guy with speed!

If it was running back by committee and the rest of the committee is playing crappy then why not bring in new eyes? I mean CJ Fuller was doing okay but he missed a HUGE cut back on 3rd down when he just ran into a pile. Who knows what Feaster could have done if he got the chance? It was a crap decision. Tyshon has fumbled his way out of the line up. Plan and simple.

Pass protection is not hard to understand, but I do not see Fuller as much of a blocker ---I knew that was the reason, I just thought he was not effective--- Those guys get paid to coach, so I guess my naked eye did not see the things that theirs did, like you say 21-1.

AMEN! That really didnt make any sense whatsoever! I for one did not think the backups did anything worth a crap. Dye wouldve been the best opportunity to get the game going out of the 3 that did play but Feaster was recruited to run the ball and it does nothing for him not to at least try, he couldnt have done any worse. That was just painful to watch. I love Elliott and Scott but sometimes they just make boneheaded decisions. They gave Watson the opportunity to jump start the offense as a freshman why not give the same respect to Feaster?

Oct 16, 2016, 9:07 AM [ in reply to I totally disagree with Elliott ]

We can't even dig through that mouth full of coach speak he laid out there with all that BS. I'm not a coach, never have been a coach, and never will be a coach. But I have watched enough of good teams play over the course of my 64 years, and the good and the bad teams will use the short passing game to loosen up a defense for the running going. Elliott is the play caller whether we agree with him or not. I know that we don't see him use what a lot of great coaches have done to get their running game going, and personally I haven't seen Elliott use many crossing or short slant routes across the middle of the field play to often if any.And we have the receivers to use the middle of the field a lot more than we do. And I don't call those side line passes a part of the short passing game bc it is used so much, that every defense we play are waiting on it. If Elliott is going to overuse the sideline pass, I wish that when he does, he would at least mix it up sometimes by setting it up to where DW4 could go to either side with the ball depending on the coverage. Maybe fake the sideline pass, and dump it off to Feaster on the other side and see if his speed can get a break away for big yardage. The play calling just needs some serious change it up, other coaches know our play calling as well as our coaches do. But like I've said, a coach I'm not!!! But change things up, shake it up to throw our opponents off....

I thought it was funny. He's right. Because you've watched football for 64 years makes you more qualified than the coaches to determine who is deserving of playing time? They see these kids every day in practice. They know when they're ready and when they need more work.

Elliot basically said that Feaster is not good enough at pass protection yet. So what's your opinion of Feaster's pass protection?

military_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: I totally disagree with Elliott


Oct 16, 2016, 10:00 AM [ in reply to Re: I totally disagree with Elliott ]

"We"can't dig through the coach speak, or YOU can't?

The play calling was very sound and plenty diverse, yet again. You may occasionally hear coaches (and players) say they take what the defense gives them. Sorry to throw a little coach-speak in but it's fundamental to the conversation.

NC State's defense did a tremendous job. I'm not sure if Auburn or NCST is the most tallented group we've seen so far this year but the Wolfpack was certainly the best prepared, and most physical by far.

So the calls came in, DW4 made his reads and went through his progressions when able, and the offense took what the defense gave them. Their D trew in a bunch of stunts and masked coverages, a lot of stuff that wasn't on tape I suspect, and had a single philosophy... "hit them as hard as you can, every single play." The Gallmam fumble set the tone and they kept it up for 60+ minutes. We nearly lost, and probably should have, not because of poor play calling or poor execution, rather, because the opposing defense brought the best game of their lives, and because of 4 absolutely critical turnovers (3 red zone, 1 pick-six).

With just shy of 500 yards of offense, I'm not sure how much doubt you can honestly cast on Elliott's play calling or Deshaun's decision-making, but if YOU want to send our receiving corps through the middle and into the crosshairs, put them in bad situatons while risking injury for minimal gain, all I can say is that I'm sure glad that you, "never have been a coach, and never will be a coach."

Re: I also totally disagree with Elliott


Oct 16, 2016, 6:08 PM [ in reply to Re: I totally disagree with Elliott ]

We all have seen enough football to know when something is working and when it's not and those sideline passes we use are now being contested by the defenses we face and we need to be a bit more creative in getting the ball to the edge especially when Gallman goes down. Sorry but CJ is not going to get 3 yds up the middle, those were Gallman's plays and he was great at busting those outside for yds...not For CJ. I think Feaster on the edge is a big, big game changer and something the defense has to respect. While I'm commenting here.....4th and 1 foot and we don't have the QB under center???? or no Jumbo package??? but please not DW over the left side for a beating. Tony and Jeff are great for our team and we need them to be more creative with these guys. Give DW the plays that move the chains on a consistent basis not CJ up the middle, DW on QB draw or a long pass, then it's 3rd down and short pass to 13....that is what I'm seeing from my seat and it is getting much too predicable. My seatmates up here are calling the play as soon as they see the formation which they also did with good accuracy when Morris or Napier were the OC. Please, more creative formations, plays, and use all your tools (players) to keep the focus, spirts, and scores high. Thanks for allowing me to share.

Re: I also totally disagree with Elliott


Oct 16, 2016, 6:43 PM

I have to honestly consider your point about the 4th and goal Deshaun keeper. In some fairness, Watson should have read and adjusted, but it was the wrong package and formation anyway.

That being said, would we really be discussing this if we were up 31-10 or 34-17 with less than 2 minutes left in regulation? I seriously doubt it. I'm not saying the play calling was perfect or that a personnel adjustment or two couldn't have made a difference. I'm just saying that it was the turnovers that kept the offence from looking good on paper. The film shows a ton of success otherwise. The gameplan was good and well executed.

Oct 17, 2016, 12:44 AM [ in reply to Re: I totally disagree with Elliott ]

Thank You... These other bozos don't appreciate a sharp eye concerning the plays. It doesn't take a genius to recognize that Clemson is throwing mostly sideline passes or the deep ball once in awhile. Notice how Louisville used their receivers in the middle and flat... and how NCST did the same with many sweeps to free their runners. So WHY aren't we doing more plays that open up the whole field? I do appreciate our coaches, but their plays are becoming predictable and a little boring. Our talent is just too great not to open up the field!
Remember the first year or two of Coach Morris, he opened up a lot of dynamic plays that hit the receivers in full speed. He moved away from that in years after, but it was great when he did do it. Also, today's passes are mostly placed so that the receiver has to go to the ground to catch. I realize that prevents interceptions, but it also kills the great extensions of plays. My opinion!

Seems funny to me that we continue to want to throw sideline passes to the wideouts far too often when we do throw to the middle, seems like we have great results with slants.

Re: New Story: Gallman's absence hurt, so where was Feaster?


Oct 16, 2016, 8:36 AM

I think what Elliott is saying is that he is concerned about pass protection as well. Its more than just running the ball its protecting 4 as well. That's the last part of the offense that young backs pick up, especially a highly rated RB who rarely blocks in high school as the feature back of the offense.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: New Story: Gallman's absence hurt, so where was Feaster?


Oct 16, 2016, 9:16 AM

Feaster appeared to run with too much caution when returning KOs early in the season... would not surprise me if he blocks the same way. If he is not willing or good enough to protect #4 then he should not be in the game unless the backup QB is in the game.
Choice redshirted last year because he ran with too much caution, he had to work through it.
Feaster will be great, but he ain't yet, I have seen the sparks but not the fire. He will get his chances, but he has to perform all the duties and picking up blitzes is primary responsibility.

Oct 16, 2016, 9:45 AM

In a hard fought game like yesterday don't think that I would trust a true freshman that didn't come in until August either. But I would try and use his speed with short passes as in dumping it off to him after he go past the LOS, and hopefully that would be more productive than running experienced RBs right in the teeth of a defense stack up in the middle with a crowd of their D line, and our O line, nothing is going to happen there other than a wasted down, and lost yardage.

Not sure what is so hard to understand in Elliot's comments. Feaster can't block and he doesn't want Watson to get lit up. I'd rather have Watson safe than have a RB in that has marginally more home run potential.

agree-- its been very obvious for a while and now he came out and said it, like another 5-star we had who could run but do nothing else you have to block and protect the QB if you want to play and I agree. The other 5-star washed out, I don't believe this one will - just give him time to mature and learn the system and he will make your eyes pop out and light up the scoreboard.

Before I started my freshman year Berkeley had a great running back named David Barnette , probably the best in the state in 1980 and 81 . He went to Clemson on scholarship . Hardly ever played .
People say the same things about Dye and Fuller , but it is just tough to crack into a lineup that is deep in players with similar ability .

Feaster should have gotten a few snaps the way the other backs were playing. Choice dancing in the backfield, Dye fumbling on the goal line,and Fuller not being the threat that Feaster is. As of pass pro there r ways around that DW could have called out the guy he is responsible for picking up. Like with CJ and Sammy we knew that they were game changers and we feed them a certain amount of touches a game because we knew one would go the distance. Feaster should get 5-8 plays a game imo. The coaches should b able to have a package of 10 or so different plays he is comfortable running that allows him to grow nd b the player we think he is.

I don't think CJ Spiller himself could do any better with what our offensive line has been providing up front. And the playcalling? Geez. I definitely was hopeful that the BC game awakened our offensive giant but nope, our OCs went right back to halfback dive weak, halfback dive strong. The thing I hate most about the nonstop read-option run plays is that Deshaun literally sticks the ball out and leads the back exactly where he's going. There's no misdirection whatsoever. He's either keeping it himself or giving it to that guy in the A or B gap, period. 400 in the air is great, I love it, but we should be getting a heck of a lot more than 113 yards with the stable of backs we have. We need a new running back coach or at least some fn sugar to add to our vanilla run playcalling. We have waited 7 weeks now... let's go!

Oct 16, 2016, 11:26 AM

Remember when they told you Cole Stoudt was better than Watson? Same #### here. They guy is such a threat on screens and wheel routes that on 3Rd down he would alieviate the pressure with making NC state O coordinator say o poop #### and a two back set with with only 2 RECIEVERS and q tight end isn't so bad. If we just changed up just a little and didn't do the most obvious things possible. We are 21-1 cause of talent and our Defense and our Defensive Coordinator is a dominate beast. Feaster even as just a third down back motioning out with an outside linebacker trying to keep up with him with world class sprinter speed is obviously impossible. I don't buy it I call it the fatherly love going to the elder sons who really haven't done much.

Else had already caught fumblitis. I think it's easy with Feaster to ease pressure on a qb cause they have to guard him on screen plays he is capable of being motioned out as a reciever too with an LB. I think they are afraid he WI fumble too in a big moment. To me in games he has shown no indications of being the 5th string back that's all by seniority not by talent cause at Alabama, OSU, Wisconsin, he would have been fed the ball in those early games so much he'd be an veteran by now.

These are the same people on the discussion board criticize play calling when they've made calls to get us in the red zone, then we fumble or throw an interception. As far as a redshirt season, we don't know what was told to him when he committed, also we act as if he hasn't had the opportunity to prove himself.

It just the Cole Stoudt thing a few years ago. It's not the practice fields that counts. He rushed for over 100 in 1.5 quarters after these same guys behind Gallman didn't do much. He has 2 carries against Boston College with at that time the number 1 ranked defense and made the look like they were running backwards. I just think he's got another demisnsion these other backs don't and I think he should get snaps on third downs. It's funny that after his last carry you see Dabo mouth WOW on the sideline and then he gets nothing after that when our main work horse goes down. I agree that fuller gave stability with blocking but thats about it really. With Feaster he can create and his presence NC state saw on film and I'm sure that alone would ease pressure. A month ago they said they wanted to put guys in for meaningful snaps. Dabo always talks about not playing scared and being on attack mode. That's a total contradiction to what has happened here. From my point a view it's only a matter of time before he will have to be used in the passing game and on third down because he's too explosive to stay on the bench. Choice is the clear number 2 workhorse but the clear number 2 3Rd down back has to Feaster. It's Feaster or Famine on third down.

carry...there was plenty of time to work in 3 carries for him yesterday...It's not like we don't run it on 1st down every time anyway...why can't he run into the crowd and fall down 3 times?

"What coach is trying say"...


Oct 16, 2016, 12:40 PM

It's funny watching the apologists put words in Elliott's mouth. Everything they are saying sounds like legitimate reasoning and very well could be. But if it is a trust or pass blocking reason for not putting him in, one question really begs to be put out there...

WHY NOT SAY IT?

What was actually said is not what you guys are saying. So, then why? Answer that question since we're all so great at speculation and figuring out "what coach is trying to say"...

Because either you're wrong or he's holding back the truth. Which is it?

I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message.

He did say it. Did you read the whole article?

Elliott said. “We're at a point now that we're playing with tempo and potential Heisman candidate back there at quarterback we don't want to get hit and it's everything coming together but he's made progress in practice and part of our program is having to earn time and he's continuing to earn it and today was just a different situation."

Young Feaster is still learning the playbook and has been running cautious because he does not have complete confidence in his surgically repaired shoulder. Plus, he'd be a big liability in pass coverage. But just wait, we have 3 solid years of a top flight 5-star running back to enjoy. i just want him to be healthy and to have a long college career. This best from Feaster is yet to come. Elliott knows better than any of us what he has so i trust his opinion.

I hope Feaster is the real deal because that

was quite a step down from Gallman yesterday once he went down. The biggest thing I noticed is none of those back ups can move the pile. Once they are hit, they are down immediately or going backwards. Very frustrating....all those guys need wide open holes to make noise.

I was just above ground level in the North side, near Tiger Band. What I saw a couple of times on a run was our O-line open holes, only to have D-line feel the pressure and close them, before the back could get there, from way back in Shotgun. Maybe TF is faster and gets there sooner, I don't know. Maybe a few more ole dive plays from under center might help? I don't understand shotgun inside 4 on a run. And if it's short, and important, give me "Jumbo Package" and just dare them to stop it, run a bootleg or fake/dropback off JB formation. DW goal line draws and run on first down inside tackle are maybe just a little too predictable.

Without Gallman we have no running game. The OL is disappointing run blocking.

i too thought the offensive line left a lot to be desired especially since it was the seventh game
of the season, they need to find a blocking scheme that is simple to understand and execute.they
bring in some great lineman and they have trouble explaining to the kids what they out of that
position,or maybe i'm just reading this wrong!!
