The BEST RB on the team...

[calinative umstudent]

He is more college Gus rn than NFL Gus.

Except almost the complete opposite of Gus lol. When Gus was here dude was like 230lbs trying to dance like he was Michael Jackson, and avoiding contact and getting downhill. Fletcher for some reason is seeking contact over just running into open space.

Not much looks better than a well executed duo run

 

[Mr. Dynasty1]

Why didn't either RB attempt to use a stiff arm? Gawd I miss Duke Johnson

This run right here....is a perfect example of what I can already tell will be an ongoing frustration with Fletcher.

I said after the NC St game "Fletcher needs to improve his open field running. He needs to stay moving forward, use his momentum to maintain his power and use stiff arms. No more D'Andre Swift dead legs."

I can't believe he didn't run to the open space here. Instead he dead leg cuts back into the LB. Even the Ref was getting out of the way & Emory was pointing where Fletcher should've gone.

I’ve seen bad vision and footwork from our backs all year, im bouta start questioning the rb coach lol but ill wait till we get some talent

Anybody else remember DeeJay Dallas making house calls from 50 yards out when there wasn’t even a hole to run through?

Those were some truck-sized holes being opened up for the RBs last Saturday vs FSU. Too bad.

Lol you really got that tism don’t ya

My thought from the jump was Fletcher is like a hybrid of Gus Edwards (running) & Mike James (receiving & versatility)

Didn't want to share that because of the outrage I'd get from the "Fletcher is Derrick Henry" hive - but IMO it's a realistic comp

 

[Canesfan_134]

Chaney looked really good against FSU in the second quarter at least…

 

[SWFLHurricane]

Tvd has two of our three long runs this year. Raise your hand if you thought that was possible

.....and one of them was when he sprinted 50yds to see if his 8 iron approach on the 16th at Doral was a gimme....

The late hit for a body slam not being called is glorious ACC cheat code

Too bad a zebra wasn't around to see the personal foul there...

 

[KWCOWBOYFAN]

Chaney being slammed into the ground, tackled by the face mask, fumble/non fumble, concussion a few games ago. And he still runs hard.

It’s crazy that this has all happened in less than a full season. I just wish he was healthy the last few year!

10th Game Update & Observations:
- Chaney had a huge 1st half vs FSU with 7 carries for 80 yds. 3 of his 10 longest career runs came in the 1st half. 5 carries for 5 yds in the 2nd was tough.
- Fletcher had a rough game. People have documented it - but he missed large holes on multiple runs. Hope he bounces back.
- We're 10 games in and IMO it still isn't clear who our best RB is. Our depth has been a HUGE help, but no one's become that alpha RB.

It took 7 games vs P5 teams to pass the total yds we rushed for in our 3 Non-P5 games

Of our 3 RB rushing TD's in 7 P5 games - 2 have come in OT

I've seen a lot of "If we had Lane Kiffin" posts this week.

Henry Parrish's 2 yrs at Ole Miss are basically the same as 2 yrs at Miami. Sometimes players just are who they are.

 

[Mr. Dynasty1]

We have some good backs but none of them are great. I know CJ Jr is “small” but his speed is different. I think just getting him some carries behind this O-line would provide some much needed pop

.....and one of them was when he sprinted 50yds to see if his 8 iron approach on the 16th at Doral was a gimme....

His best run was catching the DB on his INT. Now if he could just carry a club with him to get the ball back.

 

[JTKoval]

Chaney

 

[TC@ne]

CJ should be getting 5-10 touches a game

 

[grover]

Chaney

I haven't deviated from that opinion all year. But I will say that he seems significantly slower than pre-injury. Allen is the only one getting snaps with any real velocity beyond the first 5-10 yards... And is it just me or is Don a little too bulked up?
