I guess I need to give him another year. I’ve been comparing this video to Chubb, Gurley, Marshall, and Michel’s senior year of high school tape, so a 1 year difference. He’s gonna be a good one be regardless.
Yeah just give him some time bro. Those coaches know who they want. He'll be another beast in the backfield
Thank you for this ^^ The best make it seem very easy. Mercy! Go Dawgs!
Like someone said earlier, I think he's more like a Moreno with more top end speed than anyone else.
Couldn’t place who he reminded me of, and this is it. This is spot on.
Regarding the concern that his film doesn’t show many broken tackles, being able to turn a form tackle into an arm tackle because of elusiveness is not a bad thing. You’ll notice nobody squares him up. The tackles he doesn’t break aren’t due to a lack of power, but rather him being chased down from behind and corralled by the opposing defense, some 25 yards down field. He routinely gets downfield without anyone getting a hand on him because of vision, speed, and elusiveness. If you recall Richard Samuel’s running style, the dude had all the strength and speed you can ask for, but had no wiggle. Just rant straight through guys. It netted more broken tackles that Emery Jr’ running style. But how productive was that?
I like the kid a lot, but I'll be surprised if he's an all time great.
He does everything well, but nothing great, at least from what I see on film.
That said, Bama had a back win a Heisman without having any particularly exceptional feature. When a RB can execute everything well and runs behind an exceptional OL, he can get things done.
PS. I have a particular fondness for knowing a kid has made a good choice by coming to UGA, even beyond winning in a way. These backs we're signing will have every chance to succeed, and without having to wear themselves out.
IDC what anybody says this kid is a special talent. Not Gurley but **** sure isn't Carlton Thomas!
I don't think anybody has or will suggest he's Carlton Thomas ( who I thought would be exceptional, I still can't reconcile his great HS film with what he did at UGA)
The question is more whether he's in Chubb, Gurley and Knowshon's class or a shade below them.
Pretty productive against the gators!
Well your comparing a hs senior to 3 guys that went pro. IMO he's smaller than Knowshon but seems as fast or faster 4.42, and more slippery.
If I see a single exceptional trait in Emory I'll go with his tight, quick and fluid downhill first cut, which is extremely important IMO. In that way he is similar to The Falcons; Devonte Freeman. The ability to cut through small gaps near the LOS quickly while maintaining down field momentum is a big deal.
We got the best back in this class imo. When he arrives he’ll be the 3rd best back on our team. He has talent just has to maximize it.
FWIW. He’s not who I wanted to get, but I’m elated we got him. Ty Davis would’ve been special with our OL but Emery will have his chance to be that as well.
I just read Sentell's article on Emory, it is by far the best I've seen on the subject of his choosing UGA.
Exactly. That’s a better way of saying what I was saying with the freeze you with my eyeballs thing. It’s ridiculously impressive when he does it even at a slow speed. It’s like he’s got a knack for figuring how a defender’s balance on his legs is. And he gets them so they can’t lunge at him.
Well we will never know now! Bad news after bad news!!!!!
Look clown! Does it sound like I’m giddy about this? You try too much to be cheeky and funny, it’s starting to wear thin. Go make biscuits!
Troll troll troll!!! Pathetic !
