Think Davis gets enough touches to start in fantasy in place of Pollard?
Nope, Zeke is going to be treated as the primary RB. Davis would do well to get 10 carries, but I hope I'm wrong.

For the record I would sit Parsons too. He needs to be 100pct for the playoffs.

Let’s see what our boy Malik Davis can do.

I'm excited to see that too. Davis was part of a rotation at Florida and split reps with Dameon Pierce among others. He only carried the ball 92 times in 2021 but averaged over 5 yards a carry. He also showed up big at his pro day with a 39.5 vertical and 10-7 broad jump. He's played well in a rotation and I'm excited to see what he does tonight.

Gator running backs don't disappoint


I don't know about that.. Fred Taylor's kid flamed out pretty bad.. So did his teammate Jordan Scarlett or something like that... The Gators used to be good for churning out good NFL backs.. but the well seems to have dried up recently.

The only way we lose tonight is if we turn the ball over.....on every possession. Hope I have not just jinxed us.

What are the odds Josh Dobbs looks like a future Hall of Fame QB tonight? He is smart and mobile. Anything can happen.

He also has the benefit of nobody having any tape on him. That's a bigger factor I think than people know. It was a good move by Vrabel to elevate him .. but hopefully Quinn and his staff were already aware of the possibility that this might happen and planned accordingly. The main thing is get pressure on him, press his receivers to make him hold the ball a tick longer and everything will be fine.

Good for Dobbs: We need as much practice as possible against mobile QB's

Obviously smart to sit him. The beauty of having a 1a and 1b RB is that even if one is out you are still ok
exactly Henrys like 70% of the titans offense out , we can roll better QB both 1&2 as well.

IMO, shoot, we could start rush, Zeke, and sit lamb and still have the depth to beat this Titans team. we have the depth this year at many positions.

Malik also Very mobile and faster..

Yeah but he's such a terrible passer at this point he would not give the defense a legitimate look. Not that Dobbs is going to remind anybody of Mahomes and Rodgers either.. He is also limited as an NFL passer.. just not as limited as Willis.

@CowboyRoy
They are sitting Pollard out to make sure Zeke gets his 1,000 yards again this season. Zeke will have over 20 carries this game. Probably the first time all season Zeke gets over 20 carries.

Good to know Zeke comes first, right? lol

More likely its to rest the RB that is the most important component to our running game. Zeke is expandable.

The bad part is they can't seem to find the right coach of late. These guys are in and out in 3-4 years never establishing a true program. There's way too much talent in that state for them not to be a 10 win team every year. But the Gator alumni are probably a lot like Texas Longhorn alumni.. They have no patience to wait for a guy to get things rollin.. so they keep cycling through coaches and wondering why they can't get back to the mountain top.
