Where is Dee Beckwith???

I heard it was his "dangling participle"

He can't help it. He was born that way.

Some possibilities:

1. Redshirt. We could be limiting his participation to a few key games.
2. Poor vision. You can be a tough, fast runner and still be a bad running back.
3. Poor hands. Does he drop a lot of passes out of the backfield? If so, that would make the play-callers job even more difficult. Heupel/Golesh are already limited by poor QB play. Can't afford to also coddle a RB.
4. Poor pass-protection. Same logic as above. If you aren't as good at protecting the QB as the other guy, good chance they're going to go with the other guy.
5. Ball security. We don't know how many balls he has or hasn't fumbled in practice.
6. Undisclosed injury/medical condition. The guy could have been in concussion protocol against BG & Pitt for all we know or maybe he's recovering from a pulled hammy so they don't want him going full speed. Or maybe he fell on a helmet.


In summary, the possibilities are endless.

Word is/was your #4 was holding him back a little. He hasn't grasp the protection part of this offense.

Not good @ Practice

Seems to me if you have a play maker like Beckwith you him in on pass plays. You find ways to get him on the field

Odd that one player who has phenomenal physical ability and a very high ceiling plays, performs about 50% of the time in games and is still the starter. Another player who has phenomenal physical ability and high ceiling is buried in the depth chart.

Nah

Then I guess you skipped the 2.5 years he was a big part of our offense both running and receiving.

Where is this Dee Beckwith guy I keep hearing about?

Looking for his next lily pad most likely.

People were enamored with his size but he was an average SEC RB

He wasn’t Kamara but he was good and above average. .If he had quit he would of easily been UT’s all time rushing leader.

 

[A.J.]

Did he even play today? I saw where Whitehead and some of the other backups got some carries. If can’t even get in a game like this, that’s a bad sign.

 

[Majors]

Maybe he’s not very good. Vol fans like to anoint the backup hype when they don’t play. Bailey today showed why he is 3rd string.

 

[rocytop2624]

He is hanging out with the other 5th string individuals at their position.

6th

I think he was the pre game injury report

He was at least listed “out”. Might not be injury though
