Just read on another site that yet, another, anonymous coach


Jun 22, 2020, 8:51 PM

"questions ETN's toughness". He also added that he (Etienne) has not had to show he can carry the load because the passing game is so good. I think he is just trying to bait Dabo into running it more, thinking that may be easier to defend....As Etienne's spokesperson, I just want to offer up as evidence..Etienn's yards after contact. I think he may lead the NCAA in that. If not, he is at the very top of the list...

The days of a RB carrying 35-30 times / game


Jun 22, 2020, 9:09 PM

Are over. 12-18 carries are fine with 3-5 receptions.

Coach is an anachronism.

ETN was the back-to-back ACC Player of the Year. Enough said.

Such an awful problem to have, our RB doesn’t have to carry the load


Jun 22, 2020, 9:17 PM

because our passing game is so dominant.

I’ll take that problem all day.

I remember when we asked our RBs to carry the load. Those were the teams that almost always struggled to score consistently. No thanks.

This isn’t your Daddy’s “three yards and a cloud of dust” offense. I love watching the passing game open up opportunities for a hand off and a 25 yard gain! If my Dad were still living he would love it too!

Wouldn't trade Etienne for anybody - the BEST RB around. I believe he will win the HT this season.

ETN isn't Derrick Henry. Neither is anyone else.

If he pass blocks and avoids "gator arms" in the passing game, he will be a complete three-down RB in the NFL.

My main concern for him is pass-blocking. NFL blitzers are so much better than college it isn't funny.

How soon they forget the 2018 Syracuse Game


Jun 23, 2020, 4:47 AM

His stats for that game (Yes! I had to look it up! I'm not that good!):

203 yds rushing on 27 attempts and 3 TDS!!!

Yes, Chase Brice etched his name into Clemson lore that day, but to me, ETN cemented his place as one of the greats too.

I guess some coaches agree with handling running backs the way USC handled Marcus Lattimore - run him to death as they did.

from the opposing coach actually saying that. He just said Travis needs to work on some things.

If ETN can get 1,500 yards during the season un 12 - 18 carries per game, just imagine how many yards he would have during the season if he averaged 25 carries per game. Coach Anonymous would probably complain that Dabo was jeopardizing ETN's future. It you have several good horses in your stable, let the other horses have their turn.

I grew up watching the great Walter Payton run for the Chicago Bears. I believe that ETN is the same style runner but faster. He runs with "HEART" and that is why he cannot be brought down with the first tackle.

Deer anonymous coach......


Jun 23, 2020, 2:23 PM

You are absolutely correct in your analysis of our superb running back. He has not proven he can carry the team on his shoulders. He is totally inexperienced in doing that.

Of course, that's because he's a part of a balanced offense on a well coached team. That means no one has to be forced to carry the team on their shoulders. It's a luxury Clemson has that your team obviously doesn't have. If you expect a running back to carry the team, or even have to, please don't come to Clemson.

Imagine if he actually ran with effort. His touchdowns against Alabama were lucky. He breaks tackles but not because he is tough.
*Sarcasm aside - I’ve never seen anyone run harder.

Let’s ask these HC’s hiding behind the anonymous tag if they want to play Clemson this year. We might could fit them in our schedule?? Then we will give them a LARGE dose of ETN!

That will change their minds.
