caleb1633 1,418 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Roc will rock and roll over many teams during his tenure at Auburn no doubt. Running back "U" is still alive and well and is hitting on a cyclinders! Roc will have teams between a rock and hard place in the not too distant future my friends! Gus knows how to handle a stable of Roc star running backs. We've been down that Rocky Road before. He won't take for Granite. . . . Having Roc on the team. We'll come out of this situation Roc solid. We'll be back within a stones. . . . throw of the SEC title. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna get back to my lunch, . . at the Hard Roc Cafe. The Roc lobster here is excellent. This thread may have just hit Roc bottom. . . . No doubt. At least you got your rocks off. You're off your ROCker Careful saying stuff like that. If you live in a glass house you shouldn't throw Rocs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JwgreDeux 1,279 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Independent of number of carries for the QB, CGM has always used one primary running back and one speed back compliment. Even at Arky with McFadden and Jones, McFadden nearly double the carries of Jones. We won't see a running back by committee, there will be a feature back.

Probably will emerge in the K-State game, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_The_Pariah 0 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 i noticed the updated roster has roc at 193. i think if he wants to play this year he needs to at least get up to 200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburn4ever 1,266 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I just don't see Malzahn and Horton redshirting Roc this year. Roc is too good to have him watching the games from sideline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rednilla 5,391 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 If Roc Thomas is the starter before game 4 or 5, it is far more likely to be due to injury than anything else. He's going to have to learn QB protection before that happens... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody also has to play special teams. The two Seniors have fought their way to get into this position and deserve their chance to shine. It's also good for the program to get them in the NFL.

toddc 13,194 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I think Cam-pain will be a beast this year and will be the A1 runner from the get-go. I see him leading the league in yardage and td's for all runnung backs this year, even with increased passing. I saw CAP do some things when given the chance last year, and was crazy numbers in JUCO. He is ready and his confidence in himself is off the charts in spring interviews!!! I also see him catching quite a few passes from Nick also-remember CAPS spring MVP performance last year --had big catches in that one. Corey will be the speed guy/ change of pace guy and Barber will spell Cam-pain during blowout games, and Roc will get plenty of chances in blowout games too(maybe kick returns/punt returns). Starting a campaign for CAM-PAIN as the HEISMAIN!!!!! Corny rhyme but I think it works! You read it hear 1st!!! WDE BABY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it on this article? He's not a user on AUF that I know of. He writes blogs on his website. I just remember him saying that a long time ago before last season began. If you remember CAP was the supposed starter before last season because no one even thought Tre would have the year he had. Nothing against you! I wholeheartedly support the Heisman Cam-Payne!

macauburn 6 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 This is good news , especially since it is coming from a high school coach. I am so glad that Bammers botched his recruiting. No one likes to play second fiddle. Bammers missed out on Fournette too. I imagine that Roc will be used some when the game is not on the line. Much like CAP did last year. Or he will be used to give the others a breather. Can't wait to see him take it to the house. Things just keep getting better and better at Auburn.

aucat 69 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Every time I see a player's name as a topic title, I get a rush of fear that they've either gotten injured or done something wrong. With Roc, I think he'll see more playing time than most people think. Corey Grant is much sturdier than OMac, but I don't think he's quite the every-down back. CAP can plow through a crowded line on a short-yardage situation but he has a fumble problem. Peyton Barber will also be seeing lots of playing time. Tre was a heck of a back but when you have the combination of backs we have this year, along with our OL, our run game will be terrifying. fumble problem?? Based on what? The ACTUAL Statistics don't support that ridiculous statement. Let's look at the numbers shall we?? Stats are here: http://www.auburntig...g.html#IGBG.FMB FUMBLES No-Lost Nick Marshall QB.... 14-6 Tre Mason RB........ 4-4 Chris Davis......... 3-0 Quan Bray WR........ 2-0 Corey Grant RB...... 1-0 Jay Prosch RB....... 1-0 Ricardo Louis WR.... 1-0 Nosa Eguae.......... 1-0 C. Artis-Payne RB... 1-1 Steven Clark P...... 1-0 Marcus Davis WR..... 1-0 He fumbled ONE TIME in 91 carries....NOT A FUMBLE PROBLEM IN THE LEAST. :-\ it looks like Tre is the worst RB among the bunch ...

TexasTiger 12,949 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I hope CAP learned from Tre and runs with urgency. I always had confidence in Tre on third and short-- not CAP. Early on he wasn't as reliable when we needed 1-3 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
