According to PFF Scarlett earned 75.4% of his yards after contact (Highest % in the Country)

This was posted in one of the other mess of threads, but it is deserving of its own.

Discussed.....and pretty much debunked. :D

 

[GatorJ]

Yeah. Our OL was a disaster.

 

[URGatorBait]

debunked?

debunked?

Very much so....

Amazing how a RB can break a tackle but can't block a blitzing Safety or LB....

seems to me they are completely different stats

Some just like to $hit on everything!

The fact that he gets yardage after contact and breaks tackles is not true because he missed a block?

I agree he needs to improve his blocking. I also agree he will not be the total package if he doesn't improve his blocking.

None of that debunks the quoted stats.

Sure, he breaks blocks. We can find meaningless stats about dozens of players. Someone posted about Goolsby having among the top 3 least amount of drops last year. And that's supposed to make our 116th ranked offense better? Scarlet having this stat is great, but when he gets blown up on passing plays it more or less negates any positive....much like a DE who has 10 sacks on the season, but gets 7 off-sides/neutral zone penalties, along w/ 3 roughing the passer calls. Good.....and bad. But hey! Scarlet breaks tackles....when he's not getting CRUSHED on a passing play, allowing the play to get blown up. Awesome!!! All-SEC BABBBBY!!!

No one was implying All SEC or excusing his less than stellar blocking. Not everything has to be bad. Even on Gatorchatter.

Man, and people gave me hell for saying appleby was a schit QB

Sure....but this is one of those stats that you sit on, until he actually does something. Same w/ the Goolsby stat. This offense is sh*t. Period. And saying he "leads the nation" is comical....when the offense is literally near LAST in the nation. It's also another example of how low we've sunk....this is nothing more than a "moral victory". Just leave it alone. It's embarrassing. This thread was started as a "pat on the back" kind of way. It's embarrassing.... But I get it, moral victories are what we've become used to. Maybe this year we'll score a TD vs. FSU when Scarlet breaks a tackle!!!!

Or........it could have been started as a simple topic of discussion not designed to bring out vein popping rage. I could be wrong.

That's not debunked. That just means he can bust tackles but not block.

When Scarlett learns his pass blocking, he's going to be a great back that should have a really good year for us and at the next level. This year, with the Oline hopefully playing better with more experience, will give him an opportunity to really have good numbers because he won't be dodging people in the backfield

He needs to get better at finding the holes that open up real fast also. That is what is keeping him from being an elite RB with the ball in his hands right now besides the OL needing improvement.

Facts don't care about feelings guys. Never forget that.
