Where is Jaylen Wright?

[HalfullVol]

I thought this dude would help the RB rotation but he is MIA.

What's the situation here?

Redshirting

 

[HalfullVol]

TN doesn't currently have the depth to redshirt JWright given injured TEvans (ankle) and JSmall (shoulder).

Whitehead and Pierce aren't cutting it. DB probably isn't going to get any play seemingly.

The VQ guys said he had turf toe last week. If that's indeed the case, then its an injury known to linger.

 

[ChrissyJ2k]

Evans and small will b back. dont need Jaylen right now

 

[VolinMichigan]

He's been banged up since week 1 or 2.

Confirmed

Not saying he is going to play but DB is making the trip to Alabama. That is not invisible ... it means he is making a move up the chart. His challenge has been understanding the offense ... but he is making progress. I will go out on the limb and say he makes the Participation List... grab your saws and get ready ... to send me tumbling.

No offense, but everyone is going to Alabama. We only have 71 scholarship players and several of those are hurt.

Injured. Didn't even dress out last week due to injury.

How is Whitehead not getting it done for you? I would say 5.7 per touch is solid.

26 carries mostly against Mizzou and USCe
33 of those yards on one carry
yeah, ok

I mean that’s who we’ve played, idk what you want him to do. Evans’s stats come from playing the same team.

 

[SockeyeVol]

26 carries mostly against Mizzou and USCe
33 of those yards on one carry
yeah, ok

That's still 114 yards on 25 carries.

Methinks you should change your username to "Half-empty..."

yeah, ok

What's your point? Wright has more than half his carries against TTU, BGSU, and Mizzou and has averaged 3.4 ypc. Also, against Pitt, he had 11 carries for 15 yards and 14 of those yards came on one carry.

He played a bit earlier in the year. Wasn't super productive. He'll redshirt. He's currently no better than 5th on the pecking order. Really no reason not to redshirt him. Pierce and Whitehead both have been better (especially Whitehead) and vs better competition to boot.

Jaylen Wright's only noticeable game came against TN Tech.... And he struggled vs BGSU and Pitt.

 

[HalfullVol]

I hope they all excel.
Expectations are higher for some.
Time will tell

So, because he had a long run it counts against him? You are also wanting to discredit his running being mostly against SEC opponents. That is ridiculous. When he has had chances, he has made the most of them.

With how up and down Oline has been give me the dude that can pass/run block and get me 3-7 yards a clip im looking for.People really under value the role a rb has on an offense,esp one that's struggling to stop the rush.As long as they can stop a safety,end,or lb and get me in 2n6 or 3n4 u got a keeper.

 

[bpalmer28]

Suffice it to say we really need to sign a good RB in this class
