The depth we have at RB and WR is staggering, I'm not disagreeing with the slot thing with Evans but keep him in the backfield as a primary back and he'll approach 2,000 yards rushing next season...just give him a small gap and the kid's gone. Keep Evans on kick-off returns also!appstatealum wrote: ↑Thu Dec 20, 2018 3:00 pmThe only thing better than a little competition is a lot of competition. - Coach Drink
Look, as stated above, we are absolutely loaded at RB, and no offense to DJ Williams, barring any injury, Cam Peoples may be better. The day Moose posted this guy as a commit a while back, I was slobbering over his high school tape. Nothing he has done in his 4 games this season has shocked me. In fact, I was sitting with a friend at the game last week and when Cam came in, I was in mid sentence talking about his breakaway speed on the edge as he broke off the long TD. The fact that this guy wasn’t heavily recruited is baffling to me. I think we are just scratching the surface with Cam, he can do a lot of things.
We talked about it earlier this season, but I see Evans being moved to more of a slot WR/H Back that can be moved around and find opportunities to get him in space. I think Cam starts with Harrington and Marcus playing as change of pace guys. I’m sure Drink is excited about this depth chart, and to quote George Costanza “I think it moved.”
Right, you are not going away from him as an RB or return specialist, you are just designing your offense around his strengths. The reason why Evans is so successful is because of our Zone block scheme- it’s about creating gaps to run through. Where Evans is not successful is when teams scheme and succeed at closing those gaps. This is where I screamed for Satterfield to put MWjr in more because he is better at getting YAC. From what I have seen from Peoples, he is a lethal combination of both. You need that type of back that can control the clock.Rick83 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 20, 2018 3:09 pmThe depth we have at RB and WR is staggering, I'm not disagreeing with the slot thing with Evans but keep him in the backfield as a primary back and he'll approach 2,000 yards rushing next season...just give him a small gap and the kid's gone.

He was deciding between Auburn, UGA, and Alabama. He ended up signing a LOI with Auburn. He had offers from all three.CornCobPipes wrote: ↑Thu Dec 20, 2018 1:05 pmDJ Williams was our highest touted verbal commitment RB that supposedly is flipping to an SEC school in the 2019 class.

What I would like to see happen is for both Williams and Evans on the field at the same time. Evans is so versatile that he could be running out of the backfield or motioned out in to the formation AND be able to run routes, ala Christian McCaffrey. I thought this should've been done more but it seems that the plan was to stick with the basic offense and use him as a traditional back.appstatealum wrote: ↑Thu Dec 20, 2018 3:20 pmRight, you are not going away from him as an RB or return specialist, you are just designing your offense around his strengths.

I’ll give you an example of what I could see happen-
Evans plays more of that Heath role, lined up in the slot, available for jet sweeps and could be motioned into the backfield if a team goes nickel. You could run tunnel screens with him and shallow posts. What these plays do is force safeties to play closer to the box. When you see that, now you have Sutton and Virgil isolated and you can go over the top. Sutton is going to win a lot of those down field.
I ALSO LIKE THIS. BUT ALSO I WANNA SEE MALIK GET THE BALL MORE
what?
He was gone along time ago though he didn't decommit until this week. Had nothing to do with Drink.
