Mamou's Walker commits to UL

[CajunCanaille]

So if he is going to be used like Cherry I guess we are going to use the Wildcat formation again? If we do I have just one request.....can we not call it the "Cajuns Gone Wild" formation? That's the worst name ever!

Just a pointless request......

Cajuns gone wild is what Jay referred to it as but I believe they were calling it the Wild Chery formation.

Ok....now that you say that I believe that I have heard the Wild Chery before. So now that he's gone, I would prefer that we not call it Cajuns Gone Wild. Please either go with Wildcat or Wild Cajun if you want to change it.

_ I may be wrong, but I believe the staff agrees with you to the extent that Walker is viewed as a 'Chery' rather than a 'Fenroy'. We already have three young [potential] Fenroys in Yobes Walker, Draylon Booker and Julian Shankle. Shankle averaged nearly 6 YPC last year in limited duty, and both Walker and Booker were studly on scout teams.

We don't HAVE a 'Chery' type player on the curent roster. Rob Walker potentially fixes that problem. _

Isn't Chery 6 ft?

Also, wasn't Chery a 4.4 guy? All of Walkers times have been much slower.

Cajuns Gone Wild.....sounds like something that happens at Mardi Gras.

Nope, about 5' 10".

He may in fact be a little slower than Chery, but he looks pretty dang elusive on YouTube! I'm a fan and think he'll do great in our backfields to come....He will have an immediate impact in our program, no doubt about it.....

Incorrect. He ran a 4.38 recently.

No "Cajuns Gone Wild" isn't bad... something like "Two Step Mamou" would be bad. That might imply we don't get many yards out of it.

Walker isn't like Chery except that I can see him as a return specialist. I think his quick burst, cutting ability from either side, will put him as a dangerous RB and return man. An RB that can cut and burst is more valuable IMO than one with pure 40 speed that has no moves. I liked Steve Mocek from years ago... he was one powerful and fast runner... but he had no cutting ability at all. I like the Barry Sanders, Kevin Faulk, stop on a dime and accelerate toward the hole. I think that is what we get in Walker.

Also, you cannot look at height and weight and not also look at the player's style. Warrick Dunn isn't a monster and he has survived quite well in the NFL. He knows how to stay out of the path of a direct hit, move to the open space and go down in the seam for an extra yard.

Oh well... I just can't wait to see what next year brings... whether Rob Walker plays next year or not... we have some fine RBs in the stable IMO.
