Crazy stat - Lee and Williams...

[dawgstudent]

have had 6 - yes 6 - rushing attempts in SEC games. That has to change.

 

[Digging dog]

Future is bright at RB.

 

[121Josey]

Small sample size, but they are the best backs and deserve the majority of touches. They run with conviction. If Dan isn't saving them for the home-stretch, then he's wasting them.

I don't understand going back to Holloway late in the 2nd QTR (or at least calling lateral runs).

 

[patdog]

I can understand keeping Shumpert in the lineup for the A&M game with their 2 great pass-rushing defensive ends. But as good of a blocker as he is, he is a liability running the ball. Got to get the ball to Lee and Williams more the rest of the season.

 

[KurtRambis4]

I would imagine

that is about to go up dramatically. Lee seems to have problems holding onto the ball, though.

 

[121Josey]

Has he put it on the turf? Serious question.

 

[J-Dawg]

Put one on the ground after catching a pass yesterday. Went out of bounds thankfully.

 

[AustinDawg]

For the season we have:
Passing:
161 of 243 for 1982 yds (66% completion) (8.1 yds per attempt) 15 tds 0 ints

Rushing:
209 attempts for 993 yds 4.8 ypc 12 total tds.

This isn't close to the balance we have had under Mullen, though I am surprised at the avg ypc. I wouldn't have thought we would be averaging close to 5 yds.

 

[KurtRambis4]

Yes

For the season we have:
Passing:
61 of 243 for 1982 yds (66% completion).

Huh? I'm no math genius, but I don't see how this comes to 66%. To me that's 25%. What am I missing? Also, we have to have more than 61 completions as often as we throw, that's like 2 games.

 

[AustinDawg]

I left off an important 1

the 61 should be 161.
I updated the earlier post.

My bad!

 

[HaleStater]

No more trouble than Shump or anyone else.

that is about to go up dramatically. Lee seems to have problems holding onto the ball, though.

He has the same amount of fumbles as Shumpert. Except Lee's went out of bounds and Shump lost his fumble into the endzone at USM. People forget about that. Keep playing the kid. He's the best runner we have. Here's a novel idea. How about coach the kid up instead of putting him on the bench.

 

[KurtRambis4]

I'm not trying to

argue that shumpert is better than Lee. I'm just trying to speculate on why he hasn't been played as much. There is a reason. Also comparing fumbles bt the two is not fair bc Shumpert has a great deal more carries.

 

[kired]

Lee has looked the best to me. He's seems to have better moves and vision than anyone else. He looks like a traditional running back out there. Holloway and Shump obviously do not. Williams seems to be a little hesitant - maybe a little over cautious or something. I think both will be good backs over the next 3 years, and hopefully the next few games.

 

[fishwater99]

Williams had a bad fumble too.

 

[bonedaddy401]

Lee is the guy, Williams is a good back also but Lee has an extra gear and more moves. Ball security has been an issue for all the backs at times. We are going to look back and wonder why lee didn't get more carries.

 

[Thirty-Two Dive]

Bye Week good time for young backs' cram course in pass protections, and wheel routes?

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

I think Williams has looked very good. Maybe it's from watching Shump so much that it makes Williams look like The Flash, but I thought Williams has looked very impressive, or I should say he's been the shiniest turd. None of them are game-changers right now, but there's definitely two that are head and shoulders above the other two. Now, is Williams playing more because he's the better option? Or is Williams playing more because Mullinz gonna Mullinz?

 

[patdog]

Yep. That's the weird thing about our fumbles this year. We've had too many (though it seems to be getting better). But you can't really point the finger to any one player. It seems like just about everyone on the team who handles the ball has 1 fumble.

We have been snake bit in the conference games. 3 fumbles (which is tied for second in the league for fewest) but we lost all three which makes our turnover margin bad. Normally you don't lose even half of the fumbles you have. So in conference games you have a bit of an anomaly. But we have had issues all year. The OOC games I think a lot of our problems are concentration issues. I know several point to coaching but the same coaches had us on top of the league or right at it for the least number of fumbles and fumbles lost from 2010-2013. Last year we had issues but Graham had 4 with 3 lost on returns. And the special team fumbles have bled into this year as well.

I saw this on another board.

Obviously the carries aren't equal but just sayin'

Yards per carry.....
Chubb 8.12
Fournette 8.01
Lee 8.00

I'm with you. I thought

Williams looked good Saturday.
