Walton had 130yds from scrimmage vs Duke.Go watch that fsu game and watch how walton picked up blitzes.
I'm not saying Walton wasn't great in pass protection. But there isn't a glaring difference in Walton's pass protection vs. Homer.
But there was a glaring difference in Walton's running vs. Homer.
So the justification for Walton's poor rushing performance and Richt's poor decision to keep playing him over Homer becomes to overstate Walton's value in pass protection.
Fück is you talking about? Walton was injured thats why he couldnt run. If homer was better than walton then richt would have started him. Homer is a solid back but dont act like he is elite all of a sudden. He wasn't even elite in high school.
Right - Walton was injured, and therefore has been ineffective the last 2 games.
Walton had 29-76 yds the last 2 games. Homer was 6-72 yds.
I'm not calling Homer elite - but I am saying he's been more effective than Walton the last 2 games, and the decision by Richt to keep riding Walton vs. giving Homer more carries was a poor decision.
And the justification for that poor decision is made by inflating Walton's pass blocking.
He was only ineffective vs FSU.
In all fairness, most of it was receiving. There's no denying that the last two games our running attack was less than desired.
