Why don't we use Jennings as a running back?

[Pepe]

New England is having success using Cordarrelle Patterson as a running back.

We have running backs. What we need is an Online that can run block.

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

Considering how nasty and competitive he is, maybe we should put him at LT.

 

[GAVol]

We do... every time we get him in space on a quick throw. We're never better than when Jennings or Callaway have the ball in their hands underneath or on a screen. Why put them behind d the LOS and get them killed?

OL?

Would allow for some cool tackle eligible plays.

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

I'm pretty sure the Patriots have a functional OL, too.

This.

Let them play against corners, safeties and the occasional LB away from the LOS. Nothing good goes on around there these days.

It doesn't appear to me that we have running backs that can create their own yardage.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

If we had Belicheck and Brady right now we would still be terrible. I mean our OL had a difficult time blockng ETSU.

Hard to create yardage when people are in your face as soon as you get the ball

The problem is the O LINE

Pretty cool seeing Patterson line up in the backfield, though. He had 11 carries for 61 yards and a touchdown tonight.

I guess I'm much more pessimistic than you are I don't think an offensive line alone would fix the ills of our program

It wouldnt fix it completely but it would make the offense dramatically better. A horrible OL affects everything about an offense.

And a WR who is slower than most of them could?

It's one thing I have to give props to Dools for. He fed the ball to CP like crazy. I'm sure he knew the guy wasn't going to make the grades for another season. So he was one and done. Wildcats, jet sweeps, reverses, screens, slants, KRs, toss sweeps. At least Dools knew who's hands to keep the ball in.

Drove me nuts last season watching Callaway get targeted once or twice in an entire game. I would have put the ball in his hands 10-15x every game. No way on Earth our offense could have been worse.

That's what I was thinking. Makes zero sense to me.

Recalls when some wanted Evan Berry or this same Jauan Jennings to run QB on goalline wildcat formations...when we had DOBBS!

I give more credit to Chaney.

One who can kick their ass might.

 

[MountainDooley]

I would like to see him in the wildcat. He has the ability to throw it a little. Using Jordan, the defense just keys on the run.

I was always a fan of Cheney he was cool

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Yep. He is doing very well at UGA.

 

[RollerVol]

heck, I just hope he can play this week...anywhere...

GO VOLS!
