Who Else do you suppose is practicing at RB this week?

Edwards- semi healthy
Bell- presumably healthy but is a WR
Jones- presumably healthy but is a Walk on
Milton perpetually injured.
Branson out for year.
Rod is out, HA sprain could linger indefinietly
Paul is out, not sure the injury status
Certainly this is as thin of a running back room I recall, ever. On any team.
Certainly, we have to be secretly grooming other guys to take snaps at the position.
So, who do you think or have heard?
Mews is probably the obvious answer, anyone else?

Maybe Stockton with a pitch out with a pass option?

I read that Milton has looked good this week.
Brooks Austin said that Xavian Sorey could do it (spatial awareness and elite athleticism).
The obvious answer is Brock Bowers.
Maybe some Ladd (played QB in high school. Running offense. Id love to see him one on one versus a linebacker).
We got real bad in the Aaron Murray days.
We had Branden Smith and Brandon Boykin supplementing carries. I feel it was in one of our dumb uniform games.

Good call.
Vandagriff is actually the better runner.
But either guy could throw some wrinkles.

Time to call up Brendan Douglas

Yeah supposedly he's back to playing condition.
Sorey is a bonafide head scratcher to me. If we're moving a linebacker to rb we're massively fricked

Vandagriff is certainly faster in a straight line but id argue Stockton is a more effective runner.

He would be one of the last I put at RB, outside the 2-3 run plays he already has...
He needs to be exactly where he is to make this offense go...when hes not in, safeties play up and LBs play tight

re vandagriff, i dont want my qb2 doing that shite when we have a 5 star dual threat qb3 to do it.

Bowers isn't backing the defense. Lol.
If anything, they are playing him tighter (which puts them closer to the run game).
McConkey, Arian, and Lovett/MRJS have been our run off guys. They create the room for Bowers underneath.

If you think there is separation between QB2 and QB3, then sure.
If we are trying to get the best athlete for a couple of carries per game, I'd stick with Vandagriff.

Back to Mews.
He's really threatening in space. Why isn't he being used like Isaiah McKenzie? At least 2 or 3 times a game, either a pitch out or wr screen or jet sweep?
Even 2 or 3 plays a game, that's basically a run play without reps on the depleted rb room.

I would guess that 160 lb 5’3” walk ons don’t get the luxury of fumbling a punt and still being called on regularly in conference play. Right or wrong, I think that’s got at least something to do with it.

I don’t like the idea of Brock. Don’t care if he is super human.

I'd like to see Vandigriff get to play, preferably in a blowout of Kentucky.
Posted on 10/4/23 at 8:47 pm to deeprig9
I don't think his skills carry over as well against SEC opponents, yet.
I've seen him make some good run blocks.
But I think the exceptional athleticism hasn't carried over to SEC play

I'm trying to manufacture our way out of our dire RB situation (love edwards) and just spitballing. If we do some designed QB runs with Beck, say 2. If we do some weird shite with Gunner/Vandagriff, maybe 2x, and then some sweep shite with both bowers and mews in the mix, say 2x, there's 6 running plays that aren't on our room of Cash Jones and Dillon Bell. I love Edwards but he can't carry it 30 times a game and he shouldn't have to. God forbid he get hurt too. Spread the carries around. So in my above scenarios, there's 6 run plays per game that our M.A.S.H. rb unit doesn't have to run.

When Brock goes out in a pass route he has an LB or safety short and a DB deep. That gives someone else one on one. If it's Ladd or Lovett that's a completion for good yardage.

What about savaughn Clark?

The other poster was correct. Brock makes the offense go.
He was wrong assuming that Brock backs up the defense.
Brock helps this offense everywhere.
Attached on the line. Flexed out. At H. In trips bunch. Even offset standing next to Beck (i.e. at running back).
Brock is an asset anywhere we use him. Even jet motion.
