Xavier Gayten

[cheewgumm]

What is the plan?

He needs to be more involved.

[Todd4State]

Third running back behind Booth and Fluff.

Agree. He has speed to the hole outside the tackle that our other guys don't have except Taylor who also needs more involvement in the O.

[ZedFedder]

I think we are going to see more and more of Gayten. He offers something none of the other backs do.

[TrapGame]

Our RB room is ridiculous.

[TNDawg35]

Just think of KT and Him running this offense next year…

[1bigdawg]

He's got to learn pass protections.

[Pancho]

He will play more if coaches are more confident in his pass pro

[ZedFedder]

Gayten and Fluff are the same class. A true lightning and thunder dynamic.

[trob115]

X needs to be starting over Booth. He's more dynamic and doesn't dance for a hole.

Booth is frustrating to watch.

I said it a couple of weeks ago and saw it again yesterday. I think Booth closes his eyes as he approaches the line. Yesterday, I think it was 2nd play after the onside kick, there was a hole where I could have gotten 10 yards. Booth was in it but did a jump-cut to the left right into a pile of people for a gain of 1 or 2. Everybody in Scoreboard Club paying attention saw it.

Booth’s pass pro is much better than the other two. That’s why he plays more than X. Watch how he picks up the pressure on the winning TD in ASU game. That’s why he’s playing as much as he is.

Agree. Was it the Kang or Mullen who said they wouldn't put a RB out there if they couldn't protect the QB?

Yeah. But one of them put Brandon Holloway out there anyway and I saw him get abused in pass pro all the time.

Mostly I think it's an excuse to play a player they like.

[JimBobDawg]

I said a couple of weeks ago that he reminded me of J.J. Johnson. Xavier is going to be a great back he?s beginning to show that to us. We really need to keep him aboard .

[TrapGame]

I remember seeing in the Fall camp posts that it was mentioned several people on the offensive staff that if the switch flips on Gayten he will be hell to deal with by opppsing teams.

[Offshore Dawg]

He needs to be more involved.

When you get somebody more involved, then who are you going to get less involved ?

Not JJ. JJ was a bruiser. X is more a speed guy, fast to the hole.

You can't pass block, you don't play. It's that simple.

[Pancho]

Gayton must improve pass pro or he is going to put shapen in grave danger

[Tbonewannabe]

Booth's block was the reason Shapen hits Thompson for the TD against ASU.

Personally, Fluff and X would be my top 2.
