TNET: Clemson RB entering transfer portal

Clemson RB entering transfer portal

Clemson senior running back Lyn-J Dixon is entering the transfer portal, Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said on his call-in show. Dixon started the SC State game but Clemson coach Dabo Swinney had indicated Dixon was in position coach CJ Spiller’s “doghouse.” Dixon has logged 10 rushes for 48 yards and Read Update »

Sure , blame Spiller for Dixon running upright and laterally. There’s a reason he was not starting or playing much.

Not sure you are correct for a RB that has a record for yards per rush

2024 orange level member flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

he doesn't hold the record but he is 2nd


Sep 20, 2021, 9:11 PM

but he also benefited from carries late in the game against 2nd and 3rd team defenses because he served as the backup to ETN. I am not saying his talent was lacking, but I will say that I am good with the backs that are still here. He and Feaster are the same back to me...

I said it on fb and will say it here - I have only seen one RB in my lifetime make it to the NFL with an upright running style. His name is Harvey Williams, played at LSU and for the KC Cheifs. There is a reason he is the only one that I have seen have such success in 45 years.

Wayne Gallman and James Davis were upright running backs who had good success at clemson and made it to the NFL with that style if running. This is on Spillers immaturity and lack of coaching experience as well as Dabo again I reiterate Coach V appears to be the only quality coach in the program.

Re: Sure hope CJ's extensive coaching experience was worth it.***


Sep 21, 2021, 8:48 AM

You're correct. I'm concerned about hiring past players not because of their coaching experience, but rather because they're "Clemson Guys". BV isn't included in that group, and is the best coach we have....Dabo included. I believe in keeping the culture alive at Clemson, but I think you can hire those from the outside and still maintain it. I had a dream last night that TE was let go and Tahj Boyd was his successor. Oh wait. That was a nightmare, not a dream.

Re: TNET: Clemson RB entering transfer portal


Sep 20, 2021, 8:25 PM

Sure.

Any place that doesn’t play defenses that cover outside the numbers. Lyn J wants to hit home runs when we need consistent 4- and 5-yard runs. How many drives did he kill Saturday by taking a big loss?

I understand we’re not opening holes like we did his FR year when he could have gone elsewhere. But I think his game is suited to the MAC where no one plays defense. He could light it up there.

Re: He’s going to go somewhere and tear it up…


Sep 20, 2021, 10:01 PM

We’ll miss him for sure when Shipley eventually gets banged up.

This is a loss for the team, we’re thin at RB and I was expecting him to get more run as the season went on. He had two ugly runs on Saturday but both plays were blown up in the backfield, not really his fault.

I’m sure there are two sides to the story and I would love to know the full backstory here. Regardless, the public comments that he needs to grow up was a bad look. Especially because if LJD was to speak out on social media, I’m sure the coaches would have come down hard on him.

Either way, I really wish we had Bowman back. I didn’t see him get any carries against Bama, but he should be in the mix next year when the two senior RBs leave.

Really makes the need for a 5 star in the upcoming class or for Mafah/Pace to pan out. Shipley looks the part, but we’ll need a rotation.

I doubt we will miss him because he wasn't doing what it took to see the field this year and he would be gone next year. So I fail to see where we miss him at all. Was his pass blocking going to push him for playing time over anyone not named Shipley? Maybe Phil gets more opportunity to be read moving forward now.

Lyn-J is not the best rb on the team and it’s not close.

Shipley carried this team on back for 60+ yards for the first touchdown and Dixon came in and blew the next drive. That was the straw that broke the camels back. He thought he was owed the starting job and when he couldn’t prove it on the field, he took his ball home. He’s not been a team player ever since Spiller told him there would be a competition for RB1 and likely everyone will benefit from moving on, Clemson and Lyn-J.

Wish him the best, but it’s time everyone moved on.

That’s ridiculous, do you think we were greedy when we took Trevor Lawrence and 4 qbs transferred? We don’t recruit nearly the same amount of kids as most top tier schools because we commit to the player. But when the player isn’t willing to commit to their role, which usually has 2nd string in the title when guys like Shipley Watkins and Lawrence show their talent, then there’s nothing we can do about it but wish them luck and recruit another Clemson Guy.

If DJ transfers it would be a shame but something tells me this offense starts moving and DJ is the anointed by the fair weather fans again in a matter of weeks.

Lol. Love the t-net experts deciding based on one game


Sep 21, 2021, 12:13 AM

That Shipley is the best and ignoring a body of work and data that says otherwise. Etienne is the only RB he would have been backing up. Shipley gets 4 yards a carry and you guys lose your minds. Meanwhile DJ tosses LJ a screen pass wayyyy too early and gets him blown up and LJ sucks despite career stats that say otherwise. .

Not to mention you guys may or may not have noticed our OL isn’t stellar, and LJ was far and away the best blocking back we had on the team.

But yeah, he sucks because CJ must be an expert coach because he was a good all purpose back. Keep drinking that koolaid.

Re: Lol. Love the t-net experts deciding based on one game


Sep 21, 2021, 5:00 AM

We must be watching different games this year because every time I've seen LJD on the field he has gone sideways and lost 5 or 6 yards when he should have gone straight ahead and minimized the loss or most likely came away with no gain/loss on the play.

As for blocking ability have you not noticed that every obvious passing down they have pulled him out and put either Pace or Shipley in? Why would they do that? Maybe because they are actually better blockers?

I know I can remember at least one play where LJD went to block and completely missed the guy and ended up blocking the Offensive line man instead

Sep 21, 2021, 7:35 AM

You haven’t been paying attention. Ga Tech this year he stood up a LB who had a full head of steam and put him on his butt. He was better than Etienne by a long shot at blocking too.

And why they pulled him? Ask CJ that one…..his playing time has had nothing to do with performance or what’s best for the team’s chances to win.

I’m not going to fault him in the Tech game for DJ throwing him a screen pass far too early before the LB’s had committed to the QB. DJ got LJ blown up on those.

Guys don't want to sit and wait to play, and any upperclassman who doesn't play is gone in a flash. We recruit very well, but we never oversign and never take anyone out of the transfer portal. I don't like a lot of things about where college football is going in the future, but the portal was a blow to our program as well as the sport.

I said last week that if Lyn-J leaves then Dabo is to blame. I stand by that statement 100%. I'm all for discipline, tough-love coaching and helping young people learn what the world will be like after college and after football, but these are young men with pride, egos and endless options available to them. If the coaching staff can't find middle ground and amicable solutions with the senior leaders whom have paid their dues, then it won't be long before their "my way or the highway" philosophy leads to a mass exodus. I love Dabo, I love CJ, I love Lyn-J and I love the Tigers but this is truly disappointing and extremely unfortunate for all involved. Go be great Lyn-J! Once a Tiger, always a Tiger!

Re: TNET: Clemson RB entering transfer portal

You guys kill me with your comments about Dabo and CJ. CJ is one of the top backs to ever come through Clemson. He was one of the top picks in the draft, played in the NFL. Has been one of the best ambassadors Clemson has ever had. He is a class guy all the way. He has forgot more about the RB position than me and anyone else on this board will ever know. I appreciate what Lyn-J has given Clemson and wish him the best. I don’t won’t him to leave and wish him the best in life. The reason he isn’t the starter is because he wasn’t and isn’t the best option. Dabo is the best Coach we have ever had and probably will ever have. We have been to the last 5 playoff series, played in 4 championship games, won two of them. I have been going to Clemson games since I was 7 with my dad I’m 42 now. I’ve seen the worst of worst at Clemson. Ken Hatfield, Tommy West. Go back and watch some film. It was tough times. We may struggle some this year but this ain’t a bad team. We will get better, we may not be world beaters at the end but we will be fine. If you can’t see that Pace and Shipley hit the hole harder and quicker than you don’t know football. CJ and Dabo are going to play the best players. Not that they don’t make mistakes like anyone however, again they have forgotten more about football than we know. Relax and support the team.

Huge rest of leadership by the coaches and players. Can Dabo hold us together with injuries, departures and widespread criticism for poor performance? Will CJ prove Dabo correct and be able to coach and stop the bleeding in a hemmorging RB room now devoid of experienced depth? Will the players show resolve or splinter? Shades of 2008 here. End of the cycle or just a speed bump? It is a thin line. Just ask FSU.

Pretty simplle, really. We recruited better players at the position. Similar to QBs transferring out after Lawrence came in. Plus don’t forget he had to sit out for the first half f the Georgia game for team rules violations.

I wish all our players would stay, but it’s all about playing time, and once you’re down to 3rd string you’re not going to the play much.

Why folks want to dump on Dabo and CJ for this baffles me. I’ll take their track record any day over an obviously immature 3 rd stringer. I wish Lyn J the best, but we’ll be fine.

Do what you are asked to do and work hard. You will reap the rewards. Get on the bad side of your coaches and it rarely turns out well. It's like all the people complaining about the police. Comply and you won't have any issues. Resist and you are going to jail or the morgue. Now I don't claim to know what is going on but I do know that Dabo would step in if CJ was in the wrong. Dabo has supported CJ and told Lyn J to grow up. That is all I really need to know. Good luck Lyn J. Might want to talk to Feaster before you make a decision though.

We’ve seen a lot of players transfer in the last few years and I’ve always noticed teammates wishing them well but I haven’t seen any players say anything on social media for Dixon. There’s definitely more to this story….

He is not bigger than the coaches or the program and got shown that. I wish him luck but you don't need players that are a cancer to the team when you are already struggling. Also with Shipley he sees the writing on the wall. Just a matter of time before Shipley is taking the majority of the snaps.Didn't do a whole lot when he played this year except run back and forth and lose 5 yards.

If you get out-talented, then there is no such thing as

"waiting your turn", nor should there be. He is making the smart decision for himself, and for Clemson, as it were. Go somewhere where you can be clearly the #1 guy on the depth chart, because that is no longer an option here.
