DRob nations best running back?

With only one touch in the AP game our wide receiver is averaging 72 yards per carry, putting him miles above even the best competition at this point in the season.

    Yep. Using my own home developed advanced metric, he is the best RB ever. Sorry HW.

    Maybe a few more touches next week?

    In the post, coach said DRob still isn't in SEC shape. Words to that effect (wtte?)

    He has a strange running style. Doesn’t look like he’s going fast, but he is. It’s not a complaint or anything. But check out Hardman’s long TD reception. That dude it pure lightening. Holy Jesus did he turn on the jets. We might have the best WR group in the nation.

    I thought the same a out Drob. I remember Ted Ginn Jr. had an odd running style that gave the illusion he wasn't supersonic.

    I don’t see how Kirby can keep him off the field next week.

    some espn/secn analysts are wondering how Georgia is going to stop Deebo but i’m interested to see how Carolina tries to stop D Rob, Mecole, Godwin, and throw in Swift on top of that ALL AT ONCE

    My son was a pitcher in college so he didn't get to bat a lot. The two times he did, he hit a single. His coach still calls him the best hitter he ever had ..... lol.

    He will get some catches next week. This game was a warm-up. Don’t want to show your cards too soon. Next week we release the Kracken.

    Umm Yummy. Yeah, Jake From will start this season and for good reason but when Justin Fields is n the game with Cook, Swift, Mecole ,Roberson, and either Godwin or Ridley defenses better have their heads on a swivel. The key to it all will be our offensive line owning the line of scrimmage which they will.

    Well, Fields needs to learn to stay in the pocket a bit longer. My only complaint about the game is that Fields has no patience. He wants to run every time. Sure, he made some nice runs....but they were largely unnecessary. Might be why Smart let the 3rd string guy finish the game. based on what I saw yesterday, Fields does not improve the offense over Fromm.

    He has jets no doubt. We need good hands more than anything.

    It is easy to forget DRob’s highlights were as a TF! Yes, the Pac might not be the NFL, but still quite an accomplishment. He separates; he has great ball skills, and he is a fierce competitor. I think sometimes we forget how rare that combo is in nature! Lots of fast guys who can’t catch or compete...DRob has them all, so it is just a matter of him learning the O inside out and getting in SEC shape imho. Remember, the blog was alive with people who didn’t want a kid who picked UCLA over UGA (Roquan). On the contrary, the two closest years for another UGA NC were 12 and 17, when California transfers were key respective leaders on our teams—Jarvis and Roquan. I hope the third time is the charm and DRob can strike fear into opposing DC’s game plans, helping the rest of the O immensely!

    No, Jake Fromm is the Captain of the ship but I think Fields, with the personnel group I referenced earlier, will have defensive coordinators up deep into the night trying to scheme up a plan to counter it. So again, Swift, Hardman, Cook, Roberson, and 1 of Ridley, Nauta, or Godwin with an elite dual-threat like Fields equals a d-coordinators worst nightmare especially once Fields masters the RPO game. The ways u can attack defenses with this personnel grouping is UNLIMITED. Now Jake Fromm will not be unseated as starter due to this as we'll still need our battle tested vet to Captain the ship, but I we'll need em both to be all that we can be.
