What do y'all think about Rendrick Taylor moving to RB now? The coaches initially tried him out at the LB spot but didn't think he had the natural feel for the position.  So, it looks like he's going to be running the ball.  I was a little skeptical about this at first, mainly due to the fact that we're loaded with RB's, but any way to get Taylor the ball is fine with me.  It could also lessen the load of James Davis, which leads me to my next concern....

JD's shoulder injury is back (assuming its the same shoulder issue that has bothered him in the past).  I'm worried that he might have an injury plagued season this year, which would limit his time.  Do you think the coaches are maybe anticipating this, thus the move of Taylor to RB?  Supposedly, JD doesn't need surgery and will be able to rehab the shoulder, but every time you hurt that joint, it increases the likelihood of further injury (which I guess could be said about any injury but particularly shoulders).  Also, I realize its only Spring and we're still very far removed from the start of the season, so anything can happen.  I just hope this shoulder thing isn't something that will pop up this year.

Give me your thoughts.

He's a big boy maybe he can help pick up those 1,2 yard plays we have trouble with, instead of throwing screens.

Rendrick is a big dude - he'd make a good lead blocker for Spiller and Davis in certain situations too. I think having him in the backfield will create a number of options for the offense - makes sense to me

i am probably in the minority on this one....

i say leave him at receiver.  look at our record with RT in the lineup in at receiver against our record without him.  he is a beast on third down and is a great blocker in the running game.  it is a luxury to have a player physically gifted like RT, but lets be honest, he will probably never see the field as a back and we already have a great blocking fullback in chad deihl.  again, i think he is best at his natural position, slot receiver.

Nah, i am right there with ya on that one. Rendrick is better at the slot than he would be getting the extremely limited amount of playing time he'd get at RB.

All the unfortunate injuries he has had make me think that running the ball would be a bad move. Turns at RB and WR ? He has even gotten a look at LB.

I don't even want to open a can of worms here but Rendrick is running out of time at Clemson and all that potential is fading away. I pray he has a pain -free 08' and shows what made him such a highly regarded player at  Marlboro H.S.

As for Davis, no worries. The shoulder surgery went off without a hitch and come August he should be ready to show the Tide how we roll. Go Tigers...
