AUght2win 6,833 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Another thread devoted to the less-obvious noteworthy performances. 1. Jay Jay Wilson - this guy was hyped all offseason. Waited his turn and made a nice impact in his first real action. 3 catches, including one really difficult ball in heavy traffic. Got wide open for a TD but Bo missed him. Looking forward to seeing him used more and more. 2. Kam Martin - Auburn had three guys rush for over 100 yards last night. Kam wasn't one of them, but he had the highest YPC average with 7 carries for 71 yards and a TD. He looked really explosive and decisivd last night. Was a great change of pace from Boobie. Making a real play for the #2 back. 3. Big Kat - he looks to be getting better and better. Didn't overpursue much last night and grabbed a sack. Kept the QB contained when he rolled his way.

leglessdan 1,934 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Definitely agree with JayJay Wilson. He could be an immense weapon AT TE. Although we don't use those, but I digress. I'd like to give a big shout out for little pack of dynamite Shaun Shivers. I like his competitive spirit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUFriction 1,179 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Anthony Schwartz. Didn’t record a lot of stats, but made a clutch third down catch with a cast on his hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sizzle 3,912 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Truesdell. He held it down without Derrick Brown the whole game. Got another sack. McCreary continues to make plays too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle-1 3,821 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Derrick Hall, and Jaren Handy both looked good. Hall actually started, or was in on the first series. Looked really solid watching him live. Unfortunately, he was injured in the 4th quarter. Hope it's not serious. Handy was a man possessed once he got in. High on both these guys.

I think it bounces of his cast but he stayed with it even as he was being tackled. Impressive young man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sal is much improved in his hands and route running, but I am more impressed with his perimeter blocking improvement. We need to get him targets in the redzone! 1 hour ago, Sizzle said: Truesdell.

Excellent job. 5 minutes ago, Eagle-1 said: Derrick Hall, and Jaren Handy both looked good. Hall actually started, or was in on the first series. Looked really solid watching him live.

Yes Derick looks like he will be an impact player one day and I was so stoked to see J-Hand out there. He looked good. I definitely see him being and inside guy over the years. He seems to have some grit too. other honorable mentions for me- Bailey Sharp-stepped in for Tega and did a good job. I would also throw in the entire back up OFF Line.

I am guessing this is why he's getting more passes thrown his way. He was an equally good route runner and pass catcher last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbird 60,512 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Shivers proved why he is a better back. Hits the hole, uses his blockers, can make it through the small creases that are made, and has the speed to break any of them. JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cole256 17,050 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Sal made a difficult catch. I believe he has received a rep as not having the best hands. Also Sharp it seems. I thought he was playing bad but others noted he did well so maybe I was just hung up on a couple of plays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddc 13,194 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Mine goes to Bailey Sharp for his phenomenal play at left tackle! Not sure if that’s in the spirit of the thread, but I wanted to give him props. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He graded out pretty good. 9 hours ago, bigbird said: Shivers proved why he is a better back.

The only thing I can't seem to figure out...some runs...he looks like a tank. Then there is that run where he hits a crease and you think Oh My this kid has just one man to beat....and it seems like that guy dive four feet and swipes his leg and Worm takes a hard tumble. For a guy that runs so hard and tough, sometimes that one guy bringing him down with what looks to be so easily, just baffles me. I know that will get better with reps though. He is a beast. I don't have faith in Boobee to break a long one. Every time worm touches it I think "This is it! He is going yard!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMO I think KM and SS are both better for this offense, and based on Boobee's pass protection Sat night, probably should get more of a shot.We need more TDs from outside of the red zone.

Every back has things to work on but only a privileged very few actually get the opportunity to work on those things. Is what it is I guess.

He's short and fast, so those legs are really moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
