I think everyone, including me, is shocked at how well Hester has looked in the first 2 games. AU had better put a CB on him coming out of the backfield cause he will burn a LB. Having him means no double teams on our WR's. And if Auburn blitzes he is a nice safety valve that will crush the DB's for AU.
He's become a safety valve for Russell when a play breaks down. Everyone's covered? Where's Hester, he's open every time.
Hester is the new Addai. He's not as fast, but remember Addai played FB and TB his first couple of years and made a lot of catches out of the backfield.
Hopefully our punt return game is safe. If not, throw Hester back there. Id rather see a guy only get 5 yards and hang on to the ball. Ive always wanted to get on the Hester banwagon. I feel all tingly inside now. :yelwink2:
Hester sells the screen pass well by actually blocking his man before sliding off and looking for the ball.
