2018 SBC Football All-Conference

[RaginDave]

It is hard to compare all three, but in the 4th quarter I want Ragas after having about 15 carries in the game. He gets better as the game goes on and is guaranteed 3 yards minimum vs a tired defense.

Early in the game I want a steady dose of a mix of Mitchell and Ragas. Ragas for the power and Mitchell for the fact that he can break any play into a TD.

And then pepper in Calais periodically wherever you see fit.

There are two amazing facts for this football team that people need to remember. We have lost a total of 3 fumbles all year. Considering how much we run the ball, 3 fumbles is amazing, the other fact is I personally can not remember any of our RB's losing a fumble. I do remember a play where Lewis and one of our backs collided. But these three guys rarely fumble the ball.

The other fact is that all three of them are dangerous out of the backfield catching passes. They have all done it well this year. I am actually surprised Calias has not done it better but all three are capable if not better than average receivers. I would like to see Calais line up as a slot guy and run a few plays for him in space.

I wonder if they look at just conference stats or the entire season stats when voting on this.

Regardless, we should have a 1st team RB. You can argue between Ragas & Mitchell, but one of them definitely deserves 1st team.

I'm not one that really gets excited about post-season awards, I only care about results on the field. However, if this provides extra incentive for the team this weekend, then I am extremely happy with how these turned out.

[Million$Mullet]

What a joke. Our boys aren’t getting credit for anything they’ve accomplished. Between the all conference selections and people thinking appy is just gonna steamroll us it’s time to prove everybody wrong

[GeauxCajuns]

Any chance they split votes forcing them to 2nd and 3rd

[CrappDaddy]

Ragas is not the best back we have IMO. He is great but I think Mitchell is the best all around back. I think Mitchell was more deserving of the 2nd team vote than Ragas though as he played one less game but we know it was more than that as he was limited in a couple of other games and still had more TD's and Receiving yards and a much higher YPC average and was third on the team in receptions.

Out of those 2 Ragas has the better shot at the NFL. Many of is carries are between the tackles. He’s given the hardest workload of any of our backs to soften up the D and get the tough yards. Both great backs, Ragas is our best IMO.

[Cajunfanatico]

It's great that we have both Ragas and Mitchell and can make reasonable arguments that either is the better.

I’ll have to disagree with you there. Look at what the NFL has become. Mitchell is like Kamara and Kareem Hunt. Trey Ragas is more like Latavious Murray, big punishing back who delivers the blow instead of getting hit.

Satterfield is just a product of first place team coach wins coach of the year. I didn't think they did it like a HS football all-district team but seems like it. Napier or even Lunsford were more deserving

I’m all about Billy, Billy. But just because you’ve developed talent above most everyone else and win doesn’t mean you’re just doing the normal. Satterfield has put together a mighty deep talented team. Maybe it’s okay to reward him for that. I’m not saying no to Napier, just that taking Satterfield isn’t necessarily wrong.

[CajunEXPRESS]

I don't think Coach Nape was 2nd in the COY. I think he should have been 2nd but he should have lost to the Georgia Southern Coach. Nape should have been 2nd and Satterfield 3rd.

My assumption is the vote was.

Satterfield
Lunsford
Napier
Brown
Anderson
Viator

I’d not vote for the GaSouthern coach. Remember that the reason they only won two games last year was almost exclusively the fault of the fired coach, not lack of talent. He simply refused to or couldn’t coach an option team. They were built for running the option. Once he took over last year and went back to the option they immediately improved

I've got no problem with Satterfield getting the award though I believe it could just as easily have gone to Napier and be justified. The problem I have is the placement of a number of our players.

One way to fix that.

Satterfield is the product of a system and culture built long before him. Napier IS the system and culture here.

And did more with less than probably any other coach in the country.
