StatTiger 3,188 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 I believe Gus Malzahn's intent was to utilize both backs during the 2017 season but it did not work out for Kamryn Pettway. Putting this clip together, it made me appreciate the effort and production by both backs. One thing that stood out to me was the vicious "stiff arm" Johnson possessed. Should D.J. Williams turn out to be a very productive back, I hope he along with Whitlow will become more of a 1-2 combination. The same goes should another back on the depth chart surface this season.

Agreed....I think Boobie is coming along nicely and showed flashes last year.....and I think that one of either DJ/MAR/ is another 3 down back in the making and then we have Worm and Kmart for situational change of pace.....and maybe Worm turns out to be 1B and the other 3 down back...or even premier back....I could see it.....but I really think DJ is going to blow some peoples minds...and we havent even seen MAR yet....I think he is special too....I like our RB room probably more than i have in Gus' Tenure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 8,673 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 I hope we conserve a redshirt for MAR, but I dont see why we would need him if Kam can be a bit more consistent as the third back or Shivers gets the touches he's earned (no way DJ doesnt force his way up to second eventually) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 8,673 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 KP might be a bigger what-if story than Jovon. His 5-6 game stretch, while not against the best defenses, was the most surprising I've seen from a RB for this team. Dude was an afterthought at even the FB/HB position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgufcm 4,101 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 On bull****. You forgot to add “called back on bull****”. Other than that, totally agree. Shivers will be a difference maker this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude was an afterthought at even the FB/HB position Yep...For Pettway, it was a sad conclusion to what looked like a great career at AU. "beast" is a good description and seemed to have a big NFL future ahead of him. And watching KJ again was really fun.....except to make me miss him all the more for what could have been his senior year. Thanks for the vid......enjoyable way to start the day... PS......plus it was nice to see White when he was healthy and at his best....made some good fakes on those hand-offs...and to his detriment, was willing to tuck the ball and run which helped keep defenses honest.

Win4AU 4,052 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Those guys carried this team at different time through 2016-2017. Could have been Caddy and Ronnie 2.0 if they could have been healthy. Unfortunately it took both being injured to let the other show out. Definitely could have been the difference in a good and an AUmazing season in 2017 if both had stayed healthy or whatever. Also love seeing Sean. He was a great salesman and wasn’t scared to throw a block. If I compare current backs to AU greats 1. Boobie is Barber, Worm is Tre, DJ is Kenny Irons, Kmart is McCaleb, and MAR is Kerryon (to be seen). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUBwins 10,075 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Those two guys ran like an Auburn back, downhill run you over back. Coach Lac was probably the best at it. Can't wait to see how much that has passed down to our current stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
