Title: Whitlow Out
Post by: bottomfeeder on October 08, 2019, 06:59:15 PM
Now, I'm not feeling good about the rest of our schedule.

AUBURN, Alabama — Auburn running back JaTarvious Whitlow will miss at least one month of the season after undergoing a surgical procedure on his knee Tuesday.
He will miss four to six weeks, Malzahn said.

Whitlow is Auburn's starting running back and leads the team in rushing.

"Obviously he’s an impact player on offense," Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said. "The good thing for that is we do have a deep group at running back."

Really Gus!?!?!?!

Yes we have a deep group. My barber has a deep group of seniors on Saturday mornings.

Was thinking a few weeks ago about what might happen should Whitlow go down mostly because he seemed to almost gain yards when they just weren't there. Our other backs haven't done that.

Boobie was the best of our backs because he showed the most resilience, he required less space to find an opening.

Kam Martin had a couple of good off tackle runs Saturday and he's next up but we have to have more than just Schwartz as a compliment.

Old school suggests we hang our hat on defense, create more turnovers and shorter fields since our passing offense alone can't absorb the loss of Whitlow's productivity. 
So what now?

Hate it but not unexpected.  He stayed hurt a good bit last year.  Anyone know what's going on with Joiner?  Did he play any this past Saturday?

If Joiner played at all he was limited to special teams.
I want to see him tote it multiple times.

Kam Martin had 4 carrys.
Shivers was probably benched for pregame thuggery. 
Gatewood ($1.25 to six) can be worked in there as well. And if idiot allows him to throw it we might survive using two QBs...which disgusts me as a fan.
My thinking is that we should spread the pain since we can't protect or run it with any consistency.

He's no JBKJ, but he will do in a pinch.

Y'all worry too much.  We don't need running backs with this guy ready to go.

No need to have another big back like Joiner ready to go, we have the Worm!

Flash only has one pass pattern but he has two runs. Nothing says stupid like risking world class speed though a wall of humanity. 
Let's double his totes.

I know it's not going to happen, but I would love for the next up to be either Joiner, if he's healthy, or DJ.  You know what you have in Kam, and honestly, it ain't much.  He's a nice back.  He has his spurts but he's not big and has no break away speed.  He'll get you some yards but there's absolutely nothing for any opponent to fear from him. (Now that I've said that, he'll go off for 175 against Arky)

Shivers???  Bitch please.

Molasses Miller???  Bitch please X 2.

I'm not saying Joiner or DJ would light it up.  Have no clue because there's very little sample size.  But we know what we have with our next ups.  And it's not chub-worthy.

I have been screaming for more Joiner since day one. We needed to see more to see if he is a viable backup for Boobee. But just like Pettway, we will never know until Boobee goes down.
I pray he turns out to be as effective as Pettway was. Gus is such an idiot with his backups!

Williams has been thrust under the microscope this week at Auburn football practice, in the days after JaTarvious Whitlow’s surgery, which has shelved Auburn’s leading rusher for four-to-six weeks per head coach Gus Malzahn. Shifty senior veteran Kam Martin and speedster sophomore Shaun Shivers are Auburn’s next most productive backs, but the four-star freshman Williams could figure into the rotation as soon as the Tigers return to the field at Arkansas on Oct. 19.
