Free Tavien Feaster #28
Sep 6, 2018, 1:53 PM

Needs to play more this week. I don’t know whether my eyes are playing tricks on me or what, but he looked good Saturday. I think he should get 15 carries per game. The freshman needs more speed training and he will not get caught from behind. Let #28 loose in Aggie land.

that any time you hand the ball to someone NOT ETN, you are doing the opposing team a favor. I like Feaster but if any touch he gets takes away from ETN getting one then it is a disservice for us.

I guess I still haven’t found anything on which to agree with Walt. We have rarely been a one back offense and I think ETN and Feaster have slightly different running styles complimentary to our offense. Now KB should definitely run less than in 2017 (only situational runs or pocket breakdowns). Redshirt Lyn-J and Choice goal line only. Free up ETIENNE and Feaster to carry the rock otherwise. Walt, Please.

When he learns to block he’ll get more playing time.

Your eyes need to watch him when he doesn’t have the ball sometime...

I thought he was still recovering from an injury.

behind the curve a bit, compared to the other RBs. He was injured over the summer, but released full-go in camp. I don't think blocking has anything to do with it.

He ran with some real violence last Saturday. It was very nice to finally see.

arm tackles and ran extremely tough between the tackles. I don't think his limited snaps thus far are due to any glaring weakness on his part, but rather his getting behind due to injury this summer and the fact the the level of competition at rb is extremely high.

He injured his meniscus. Don't want to rush that.

I thought he looked quicker in his limited opportunity Saturday.

I don't really see him getting more than a couple of snaps because ETN is so good. If you want to limit Choice's touches that would be fine but if it was me I would much rather give Dixon a portion of his snaps to see what he can do. He looked fantastic against Furman (yes I know it was Furman) but he looks like the guy who is going to break out and become a star, not Feaster.

Feaster is going to get lost in the dust this season.
ETN and J are going to be the best 1-2 punch in the nation.
Although I would like to see some little screens to Feaster ,let him use his speed .

Feastmode will without a doubt get the second most carries on the team this year.

Tavien Feaster just does not have the quickness

We need. His feet are slower than ETN and JD. it is night and day. Nothing against TF but I was never blown away by his abilities. He was overrated coming out of high school. He is serviceable and maybe all of this will bring out something I have yet to see from him.

Honestly, what does Feaster bring that the others don't?

Or is your desire for him to be "freed" based more on the fact that he was a highly rated recruit from South Carolina, and you want him to be successful?
I like Feaster fine, but I don't think he is as good as Etienne and he might not be as good as Dixon either.
