re: Young SEC RBs turning into stars the NFL, signs of things to come

quote:

---

Blue is never going to be an elite RB, but he fills in pretty nicely when the star goes down.

---

He's had a dang good career, especially for a 6th round pick who never had more than 550 yards in a season in college.

LSU churned out some RBs during that 2008-2016 stretch.

Fournette had his 2nd best game against a Bama defense yesterday. 46 yards!

quote:

---

37. Alfred Blue (LSU) (473 yards, 3.3 YPA, 2 Rush TDs)

quote:

---

49. Leonard Fournette (LSU) (396 yards, 3.4 YPA, 4 Rush TDs)

---

LOL

Blue>Fournette?

As the resident Jaguars fan, I must say...as bad as Fournette has been this season....

Yeldon has been worse.

And Corey Grant being out for the season has killed us on 3rd Downs & ST.

People on this board need to learn how to be subtle. You can teach them SoG.

Peyton Barber has turned in a nice NFL career. Glad for him after reading his story pre-draft.

---

Barber really is a good kid. He ended yo stay one more year but he left for an honorable reason. Glad he's starting to do wel.

Imagine if they had utilized Henry fully since the start of the season.

Henry wasn't using his power to break through the first guy last year or earlier this year. A light has come on.

ETA: I don't know why I get downvotes when posting facts. I love Henry but he needed to pick it up and he did.

His own words when there were talks of him being traded earlier this season:

"We all know, you guys all know, if you're inconsistent in this league, they'll find somebody to replace you. So I feel like the biggest thing is just being consistent during everything that I do. Being efficient, finishing runs, being physical, running hard. Like I said, I stood in front of y'all and said all those things, but I don't feel like I've done those things."

Henry has ALWAYS been a guy who gets rolling deeper and deeper into the game. Dude reaches 5th gear a little slower, but when he does he might be the best back in the league. At least right on up there with them.

From the earlier post:

quote:

---

Henry has been given 15 or more carries 9 times in his 2+ year career.

In those games....

9 games
187 carries
984 yards
5.26 YPA
109 YPG (21 Attempts Per Game)
10 TDs

---

He gets a few carries, doesn't immediately include a 20+ yard carry, gets abandoned. Titans finally figured out that this dude is like the Hulk, only gets stronger the deeper into the game he goes.

Fournette been hurt all season

O

LF might not have the best numbers but he should be at the top of that list because of potential.
