Shaun Chapas RB Georgia

[honyock]

I'm a UGA guy and have watched him play for years.

I dont think he's the devastating blocker Moose was, but he is a good blocker. He also has excellent hands out of the backfield, doesnt run like a stiff and contributes on special teams. Been a team leader at UGA.

That's been the theme of the day.

Gronkowski only made the team because of that injury and a healthy Phillips will take his roster spot so whose spot is Chapas looking at?

Very good point

He was hurt last year, but here's an preseason article from 2009 on him:

There was not a Georgia RB I spent any time on this year thus I likely would of never spotted the FB play, Also outside of Clint Boiling I spent very little time on their offensive line not to mention I put very little time in on FB's.

It's crazy to believe for a minute anyone is going to know everyone.

I thought you lived here in SEC country and had seen UGA games.

From what I saw last year, I think Gronkowski was still struggling to learn who to block and when.

Tony Romo saw the same thing.

Chapas is a FB. Phillips is the 3rd TE

Phillips is not the lead blocker Chapas is.

I've seen this kid play a number of times down here in SEC land, and this kid is a lead blocker out of the I formation playing in Mark Richt's offense. This kid has a chance. He can catch it out of the backfield and is good at the point of attack.

Don't forget about Gronkowski missing a block that let Romo get blown away. That missed block might even the odds somewhat!! LOL

Exactly, because Gronkowski was a rookie. You think this dude will make no mistakes if he were a starter next year?

My job requires me to spend 80% of my time scouting small schools up and down the East Coast. Anything I get done on my own time is on my own time which is not a lot.

Scouting FB's is further down on my list then kickers. Just the way the game is today.

Didn't you get the memo? These guys are just exercising their right not to drink Jerry's Kool-Aid and expressing their opinions, which is, after all, the whole purpose of these forums.

Thks...

Was just posting a opinion....I rarely ever diss a draft pick. But I really didnt like this pick. But its a 7th rounder....so no big deal....how many 7th rounders make it?

But I can understand how someone gets upset when someone posts a remark bashing a pick. Been here a long time....it does get tiresome reading post after post about how bad our picks are. ....so I take no offense to someone jumping down my throat for a dumb opinion.

In the grand scheme of things.....its just a post

When your the sole reason that your starting Pro Bowl QB's season ends early...

Typically you get replaced

Chapas is a FB. Phillips is the 3rd TE

Phillips is not the lead blocker Chapas is.

Garretts office utilizes the TE in the FB/H-Back role.

He is 100% correct. If Phillips would not have been hurt, Gronk would of never made the team.

espn showing the chapas love

 

[jblaze2004]

in the highlights they showed on espn he atleast blocked his man but he also got knocked back

 

[TellerMorrow34]

I'll admit I haven't seen any Georgia games the last couple of years, nothing more than a few minutes here and there anyway, so I haven't seen the kid play.

 

[DallasEast]

Tony Romo saw the same thing.

Quoted For Truth.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Don't be an *******.

All you have done is complain on the forementioned basis for 7 picks. Its gotten old.

While i am trying to learn about a player. People like yourself start blasting it without knowing a damn thing about the payer.

He played FB. That was his position at UG but you start off by claiming he wasn't. It doesnt help anyone to spread misinformation.

Seriously, quit drinking.

OK.

Just isnt a surprise to me at all that we took a FB. I've been thinking we would all offseason.

And this guy was my #1 hope for FB because he isnt one dimensional and he isnt a stiff. He can move and catch in addition to block.

What? the announcers just said the he compared to Moose?

We could only hope so!
