woodford 3,732 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Lawd we will need all hands on deck on October. Give Worm the ball! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnacle 9,107 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 The speed that Shaun brings has surely been missed. Curious to see what his touches look like now that Hunter has established himself. This is the RB room that I've been wanting for years. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerFanAU 586 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Thank God. We have missed Shivers. Shivers Tank, Hunter need the ball 40+ times a game. These guys can't be stopped. Nix never needs to throw more than 25-30 times a game ever again. 40 pass attempts is ridiculous. He's average at best, and we have a stable of RB's that are arguably the best in the nation. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cole256 17,085 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 We need him. I won't lie wish we could spread a play maker out to wr but we need all of the explosive athletes we can get. Some people said this covid stuff could bite us. Certainly wish he was there last week lol. But here's looking to the future! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fine with a three headed monster at RB. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinzan 123 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Let Shivers and Jackson stretch their legs against Georgia State this Saturday. Give Bigsby and Hunter a light day. Have everybody ready to go in October. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAG 34,763 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I know CBH likes balance but I am all for letting the three headed monster take over. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey 16,781 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Shivers has been a favorite of mine since we first signed him. (Check the avatar) However, things simply haven't worked in his favor much. "Snakebit" comes to mind. I'm now wondering if Shivers won't be Wally Pipp to Hunter as Lou Gehrig.

IronMan70 3,322 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 This is great news. Worm might be a little low on energy at first from the bug but I'll tell you one thing. Those defensive players better strap their helmets on tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than the recent issue, we’re there anymore to give you the idea of being “snakebite”? Usually that means a recurring theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a tough one tre has a little more speed but tank probably breaks a few more tackles. CAP was also able to be a standalone back. Hunter is TBD. All three of the former went to the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Tank is better than any of the 2013 group, I think Hunter has a chance to be, and I think Worm is probably comparable to Grant. Something a lot of folks don't remember about that 2013-14 group is everything happening that allowed them to be so successful. Tre certainly found yards that weren't there on a regular basis but otherwise they were operating in a lot of space that no Auburn RB has since. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e808 3,091 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I would give the slight edge to 2013 based on the body of work. The 2021 group story is still being written. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustache eagle 2,454 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Wasn’t that 2013 group the only sec offense to ever lead the nation in rushing? that was a special offense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
au302 2,669 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I would say this backfield has a much higher ceiling in terms of long term potential. Let's see how this staff utilizes all three now that Shivers is back. Do they try and utilize Shivers like Corey Grant in this offense, which is much different than Gus? Do they use him in a more traditional role and take carries from Jarquez? How heavily does Bobo usually use his third back? A lot of questions that need to be answered before we can answer imo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tre by himself carries a lot of weight . Heisman finalist. 40 plus carries in Sec Championship game. Still gashed a FSU defense loaded with NFL guys. Would have had a longer pro career if not for drugs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
