Andre Debose question

[Concrete Helmet]

I think we threw to him 3 times against EMU and didn't get a completion. I could be mistaken as the SEC Network was out at my house for the 1st quarter so maybe it was more than that.....Anyway, my point is that before the season started I made mention how important I thought it would be to get the ball in his hands at least 4 or 5 times a game from the LOS, meaning not just kick returns. Why is it that we have never seen him used (1 time) on jet sweeps, reverses and yes even wildcat. I know in HS he used to line up as QB quite a bit, and more importantly do you guys think we will see him used in any of these ways this year ?

I think we're going to try and get the ball to him in many ways, but not overly show our hand until the BAMA game or later. The kid has
shown he is injury prone, so we have to be selective. But he is skilled.

 

[Swamp Queen]

Yes, give it time.

I'll be honest I don't think he's a hundred percent. He looked good but he didn't look like he quite trusted his knee yet.

I can think of two times when he was targeted. Once over the middle when Driskel was pressured into a throw on a third down that he dropped in the second quarter and one time streaking down the sideline when he clearly dropped the ball. Both could have been huge had they been completed.

I think we'll see something like this from Debose for Bama.

You could be right, maybe the coaches know he's only good for so many reps a game.

The moment my life flashed before my eyes b/c a drunk Sasquatch picked me up and started jumping around in the stands.

Wish I knew what his deal was or better yet I wish he didn't have a deal. Kid was a monster in HS. Injured? Maybe?
I'm hoping he just hasn't been used properly and this year they get it. I still expect him to make me forget Harvin - I think he has the talent.

You need to let go of Urban declaring him the next Percy Harvin. It will be a long time before we see another person on Percy's level. And yes, the kid has been injured quite a bit so to still expect him to exceed Percy just isn't fair to Andre in my opinion. Just let him be Andre and try to have the best year he possibly can.

LMAO.. Here's hoping that Sas does a lot of that this time around.

And sorry, not necessarily you specifically...just fans in general. It's an unfair comparison.

 

[rogdochar]

So many times he just glides past tacklers somewhat like Percy did. ??

 

[Swamp Donkey]

He's a ninth year senior. We have guys in front of him that can actually run routes and have better hands.

There's nothing wrong with being the (or one of the) SEC's best return men.

Sadly he'll be in Tampa and I'll be in Miami. But I'm still hopeful for something to cheer about!

I figured you two being apart would be something to cheer about.

It might be depending on how that game goes!

I like Debose and all, but a player like Harvin only comes around once every decade or two.
