Corey andersons dropped pass

dropped 2 against UAB and that huge one last night. Luckily we won both of those games. However, if it continues it will be a liability. Inexcusiable considering how we heard coming into the season he was a reliable reciever out of the backfield.

And CPF stating in the tennessean that he made a mistake about the QB situation...I want to see him shuffle some more personnel around like FB and players on special teams. Ja'kori Williams made huge plays on special teams...ALL that freakin talent wasted...We play not to lose instead of playing to win..sickning!!!!

it doesnt matter who is playing, someone wont be happy about the decision. we cant shuffle personnel around every other play or no one will get in synch and we'll play like crap. some players should get a chance, i agree.

In a situation like Anderson drop, I figure out the assets of the palyer and the liabilities. Anderson brings a whole lot of the offense and dropping a pass can be overlooked.

Show me a skill player anywhere that hasnt dropped a for sure pass somewhere.

BS my man, you'll see...
I'm being biased but watch, he'll have a better career than CA
And all I'm saying is that he should get a breather here and there, maybe he was tired before attempting to catch that pass.

Hmmm. A player too tired to catch a wide open pass for a clear TD run? I dont think so.

He was just guilty of being too wide open. He saw the endzone before he saw the ball into his hands.

At the time, I said to my wife, 'We need the touchdown, but this is too early. If we score now they get the ball back with 3 and a half minutes left and only 4 points behind. We need to score slowly."

The FG to tie was not what I had in mind and I was pacing the floor as they lined it up. OT worked out just fine though.

I am glad you believe in Holbert. But, you are wrong about the fact that he is better than Anderson right now. In fact, you are so wrong that Anderson is going to be a high NFL draft pick after this season. Dude, he is a 270 pound mountain that blocks like an OL, but runs and cathes like a TE.

IMO he drops almost as many as he catches. And his blocking isnt anything to be bragging about it.

IMO take him out and play the tight end instead and give riggs the freedom to run where he can instead of running behind his lead blocker who usually doesnt get a good block.

I totally disagree with that. Anderson made some good blocks in the LSU game.

Well, I don't know how you formulated that opinion. But, its not correct. Ask Riggs about his blocking. He'll tell you its great.

I agreed with that until I remembered that our D had only given up 52 yds in the entire 2nd half! Corey should have caught that one and scored.

I saw Jerry Rice drop a pass one time. Man, he should have been cut by the 49ers! Geez, he dropped one pass. Don't be ridiculous.

What percentage of passes has jerry rice dropped in his career?
Maybe 1%?

How many passes has our fullback dropped in his career?
Maybe 50%?

Lets compare apples to apples here.

If he was blocking so well for Riggs that game, then why was Riggs running numbers not any better?

Rushing No Gain Loss Net TD Lg Avg
-------------------------------------------------
Gerald Riggs Jr. 24 97 8 89 2 22 3.7

3.7 yard per a carry is pretty low for Riggs. Especially when you consider them without the 22 yard gain he had.
I think Riggs ran the ball better when the halfback was out of the game and the tight end came in.
It gives Riggs a chance to run where he finds room, instead of having to follow the lead blocker who may or may not get the get a good lead in.
and yeah I know the offensive line has to block well too, but UT hasnt had a really good lead blocking fullback since s. bryson graduated. Cory Fleming was an ok blocker not great.

You must mean apples to oranges if you are comparing Anderson and Rice.

I agree. I mean how many hole clearing blocks has Rice performed in his career?

First of all, Riggs doesn't have to follow Anderson all the time if he sees something else. He almost got 100 yards on LSU's GOOD Dline. Not to mention he was on fire in OT. I don't care if he just got 10 yards as long as he scores that last TD like he did. 5 of 6 of our OT plays went to Riggs and he delivered.

Second and probably the biggest reason he didn't get more is because of this stat.... UT rushing attempts....34 UT passing attempts....51. It's really hard to run the ball when you are trying to make up 17 points in the 4th quarter. Plus Riggs only got 24 of those carries.

If we would have played in the first half like we did the second, Riggs would have had better numbers. No reason to blame Anderson. He is a defensive end turned fullback. That dropped pass was bad, but we shouldn't be shocked. Like I said, I also saw him make some key blocks in that game.
