Slade Bolden

[JamH]

Did he play much at WR yesterday or is Baker getting more playing time? I don't recall him or Baker getting a reception in the game. Need more production from one of those guys. Not hurting us right now, but would like to see them getting more touches and involved as the competition gets tougher.

Honestly, I am a little surprised he hasn't been more involved in the game plan. Look, he's no Jaylen Waddle but he did have 6 rec for 94 yards against TN immediately after Jaylen went down.

My hope is that Slade is fine and ready to be called on more. Coaches trying to find that next guy which appears to be Billingsley and Baker.

I think it’s a case of he wasn’t 100% from the ankle injury so they limited his reps

 

[BamaTank]

He is coming off being hurt. Baker played more. I wouldn’t read too much into it other than he was limited

 

[bleedingcrimson81]

I think it’s also a case we just need decoys so Smitty can get an extra step.

 

[aggietider]

I didn't notice Slade in many snaps yesterday.

 

[blackdog052]

I noticed he was targeted at least once down field, but had double coverage and it went incomplete.

He didn't look 100% to me.

We have become too dependent on 2 wide receivers. Tell me how I'm wrong

Baker did not do himself any favors with his blocking yesterday. Excited to see Billingsley starting to come on.

I agree. We need to get back to spreading it around before we get to the playoffs.

He did play yesterday on a return and he did look gimpy going off the field. Yes, he has been injured over the last week with a twisted ankle in the Kentucky game. Just IMO, he was not physically ready to contribute in the Auburn game. You make a very good point that in the weeks ahead, we need to get much more production from the slot receiver position, whether Bolden or Baker. It could be a difference maker in the SEC Championship or the CFP Championships. There has been one consolation for us and that is the very good production we are getting out of Jaheel Billingsley as an agile TE or as a third big receiver.

If this year doesn’t count then it would be a good time to empty the bench. I know we have some freshman speedsters on the bench. Give them some experience.

That should happen this week, expecting the team to remember the EF Bama remarks after the game last year... as well as their little cheer squad moment declaring BDS their house in the middle of the field... wonder if they will stick around to listen to the fans who can get tickets do a little Rammer Jammer... would think tickets would be easier to get now, after the 20-7 loss to A&M and their top WR walking off the team... corndog meltdown...

When the majority of your formations only have 2-3 WR's, I don't really see this as being a huge problem.

 

[bryantdenney]

I agree with the lingering injury. Didn't really need him Saturday, rest him up for the next five games.

 

[Dale Taliaferro]

I'm definitely a Slade B fan too. I hope he is ok and will be back soon.

 

[ktravis]

Bolden is nursing a sprained ankle.

Hope Slade can get healthy we will need him
