And I said that based on quotes from CMR, CMB, and Cox indicating his style of play is a game management approach that will take care of the ball. Meaning, he's going to try not to make the ill-advised pass that could lead to a big gain and instead settle for what he's good at - the short to intermediate pass.

Don't we have the best receiver in the conference returning at WR? We have PLENTY of talent at the skill positions.

He has shown some flashes when he's in there, and like any RB, the more carries you get the more opportunity to get in a groove and break a few long ones. I hope he recovers from this and he and Samuel make a dynamic duo with Thomas coming in for the "it" factor to keep defenses on their heels.<br /><br />I'm glad we Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8134468339313902988.post-2716252668068428862009-08-19T11:40:07.313-04:002009-08-19T11:40:07.313-04:00Yeah, Caleb was the outstanding back of the spring...Yeah, Caleb was the outstanding back of the spring when there were only 2 scholarship backs practicing and the other back was only 5-7 175 and had never seen the field before.

He was the outstanding back in the spring, and has the ability and knowledge of the offense to still be a producer. <br /><br />My question is how will he respond when he comes back? Samuel has taken it and "ran" with it since Caleb went down, now lets see Caleb King do the same when he comes back.<br /><br />If he comes back and shows that he is a Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18223131948104747592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8134468339313902988.post-80456333840409883322009-08-19T10:39:07.615-04:002009-08-19T10:39:07.615-04:00Caleb King just doesn't have it.

He is very adept at making sharp and well-timed cuts, but that type of finesse game only gets you so far in the SEC. You have to have a back that can pound out the tough yards. King just isn't that back.

From the quotes you have it sounds as if Samuel and Thomas are. I assume King has a low profile right now. But this "committee" will need King to return from the sideline starving so that everyone continues with that feeling of being pushed.<br /><br />If Samuel separates himself, I'm fine with that too...as long as he holds Berniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115364033772697407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8134468339313902988.post-29696568817702093342009-08-19T10:30:46.261-04:002009-08-19T10:30:46.261-04:00I'll trust CT with blocking when he's a be...I'll trust CT with blocking when he's a beast in the weight room like Thomas Brown was.
