Running Back Play
Oct 25, 2017, 8:16 AM
|
|
You guys think we will even see Fuller out there Saturday? He seems to be a liability with his fumbling issues. I expect Feaster and Etienne to split carries. Choice will probably get a series or two because he's a good change of pace back who's been great in pass pro and runs extremely hard. Thoughts?

ETN better step it up with his blocking or he might be losing that #2 spot

That could definitely happen..

As crazy as it is to think Etienne could lose the #2 spot, it could definitely happen if he doesn't pass protect. Can't get the qb killed

The only way he's the most complete back is because of his amazing pass pro. He is maybe the #3 back on the team talent wise. But, if you know the system well and can pass pro really well then you'll get PT at Clemson

Amazing pass pro except for his complete whif

On a block. Can't remember the game but it was bad. Feaster is just as good at pass blocking.

You said what he said was false. He know better than you, obviously, so you are saying he's not telling the truth. See what I'm saying?

And Ray Ray is too talented not to play him. Fuller isn't worth the fumbling issues because we have 3 more talented backs on the roster

Dropped passes aren't an issue either (and i'm not talking about Ray Ray)... If it was Overton and Higgins should def be getting more snaps

Good point. I think Cain is averaging a drop a game...I know he's special but there would be no drop off with Tee or Overton

there are drops that are contested and then there are those you just miss. Many of his have been the latter. plus he does not demonstrate the fight for the ball or break it up mentality on some

Very true, but a drop is a drop...
Oct 25, 2017, 10:11 AM

I have noticed the same thing. Idk if its an effort issue, but he doesn't seem to actually go and fight for the ball like a lot receivers do

jump out at me as a starting running back and never really has in his time at Clemson. Other than short yardage runs, he hasn't really done too much..

Fuller is very good at pass catching out of the backfield
Oct 25, 2017, 10:11 AM

His catch vs. Ohio State last year was pretty amazing - fought off a lot of Pass Inteference (not called of course) to come up with the TD catch.

Yeah he has been very reliable out of the backfield. Pass pro has been great. Just seems to lack that natural running ability that Feaster & Etienne have
