'16 NC RB BJ Emmons

[m1al]

Now kiss.

Isn't it cute when he quotes himself...

 

[delfonic]

Smart posted in bulldawg illustrated they have 21 guys who can run 20mph...just for comparison.....buddy of mine sent the article

So John Kelly is 10% faster than 21 Georgia players. Plenty fast.

Lol

What I was thinking too, though we don’t know how much more than 20 they run

At the elite level, little differences become big

 

[rekinhavoc]

John Kelly reminds me of Walter Payton. WP was a nasty cuss. If he was running out of bounds and the defender let up he would blast them.

 

[SteelerVol]

How fast is Emmons?

I would take 10% of players on our team and make them faster😁

I would agree. But, he's not there yet. I still think Chandler needs 10 touches a game. I thought Kelly was going to be good this year, but damn, not this good. I've never seen a 5'9, 205 pound RB break so many tackles. If Kelly continues to produce like he has so far this year, I expect him to enter the draft and be no later than a 2nd day(1-3 rounds) draft pick. I still want to add Emmons to this next recruiting class, if at all possible.

Ty is ready right now, but he still has to wait his turn. Ty has all the skills to be The Man now. The thing is Kelly deserves and has earned the carries he is getting. I just think that with him being the only reliable True play maker he's had to do wayyyyyyy too much in the 1st couple of games because there isn't much balance in this offense right now because Dormady isn't really reliable. Kelly takes a beating on bad read option plays and unnecessary RPO plays. Scott is not to blame because this isn't his offense. They need to chalk the read option go pro style to benefit Dormady or switch qbs like Fla did with Leak and Tebow. Pride is the best route to defeat and trying to run this offense with Dormady is setting him up for failure.

U nailed here. Especially, Kelly being overworked, 25 carries and 101 yards and playing 'til the last play of the game. Plus, UMass hit him in the backfield almost every run. If, God forbid, something happened to Kelly, I would still feel good about the RB position with Ty being the feature back.

25 carries is overworking him? He got 19 carries last week in Gainesville and we all screamed to give him more carries, especially in the red zone.

I think Kelly, for a smaller back, can handle bigger workloads because he does a good job of absorbing contact, making guys miss, and protecting himself. He runs angry, but not reckless with regard to his health, and he uses his stiffarm to absorb contact.

We don't have a Leak....

25 carries against UMASS is overload. He should have had his pads off by halftime with about 6 carries. Instead it was a 4 quarter game. Our players are going to break down again with all the snaps they're taking

Well, sure. The game should have been out of hand early, but generally speaking, that doesn't mean that 25 carries for Kelly is overload.

I agree 25 carries is what he should be getting every conference game but as many snaps as our starters are playing they will start dropping like flies once they hit the home stretch

You could argue that they already are, especially defensively.

They need to scrap the read option and go pro style to benefit Dormady or switch qbs like Fla did with Leak and Tebow.

fixed your post

 

[Sugaray13]

We don't have a Leak....

Yes we do. They are all over the place....offensive line, linebacker, secondary, etc.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Nicely played

 

[WebbCobb]

We don't have a Leak....

Or, to be fair, a Tebow

Yes, against UMass, 25 carries is too much.

 

[cncchris33]

Yes, against UMass, 25 carries is too much.

As previously stated, obviously no one expected him to play into the second half, let alone get 25 carries against UMASS, but you didn't qualify your point of 25 carries being an "overload" as being opponent specific. You made it sound like 25 carries was too many for Kelly in general, and just a week ago when he had 19 carries, we were screaming for more touches for him. Thus, the point of my comment.

If you want to make your comment opponent specific, then yes, 25 carries against UMASS should have been unnecessary.

My bad. I should have clarified. 25 carries against Florida, I would have been all for. 25 carries against Georgia, hell yes. 25 carries against UMass, not for Kelly, maybe Chandler and CFA combined

It's overworking him in a game that is supposed to be a rest game.
