I don't think some of these folks get how bad our depth is at rb.
Walton
Homer
Burns
Gray
Potential deejay is not bad
It's the most talented backfield in the acc behind fsu still...
It should be clear to everyone by now that the coaches are very worried about Burns and Grays injuries/recovery and how effective Homer will be. There was a article a few weeks ago that said Homer made "some" progress but still needed a lot of work with ball protection and pass protection. Add the tweet from Richt about adding another RB and you have to realize that we need some help soon. They probably want to leave DJ at WR too it seems.
I like deejay ability a lot but there's more of a need at tailback than there is for him at receiver. He can line up as a back and go out for passes like how the browns use duke johnson. Plus deejay is built like a running back at 5'10 205. Based on what dmoney and Pete have said they are very high on homer and was high on burns in the first few days of pads before the injury
Everyone who is high on burns is just that... high. He's never done anything but get injured. For someone who always tells people on this board to trust the coaches i'd advise you to take you're own advice on this one. If Richt is openly campaigning for a RB than that's all you need to know. Until Burns and Gray return to field and stay healthy we need Deejay being groomed on the basics AND a grad transfer/juco.
