  1. Or maybe he gives it to the oline who consistently open some running lanes and take more pressure off of a a young QB.
  2. And that's fair. I want to think the same thing, however our 2 best returning running backs averaged 5.0 YPC with our shitty oline last year. I'm thinking that at the very least our depth on the oline is better, and given injuries are a near certainty, we should be rolling someone out there better than Tristan Nickelson for half the season.
  3. Curious to see what everyone's thoughts are on the running backs this year. This is the deepest the room has been in as long as I can remember in terms of guys with upper end talent. Daniel Young - 6'0 210 Similar body type to Kyle Porter, but does everything we'd want a guy like Kyle Porter to do, much better, except pass protect and that's still TBD. He's a guy who will be able to be consistently leaned on in a running back rotation, regardless of talent that makes it's way to campus in the future. Vision can't be taught. 5.1 YPC on 23 attempts last year. Toneil Carter - 6'0 205 The one guy on the team with proven big play ability from the back field who is able to play 2 games without getting injured. Sky is the limit for Toneil. He's more inconsistent than Young in what we saw, but to me has shown flashes of a higher ceiling. Quickness and vision is dangerous, and has the highest top end speed of someone who carried the ball last year out of the RB position. 4.9 YPC on 37 attempts last year. Keaontay Ingram - 6'1 190 He's a freshman. We don't know what to expect. His HS tape shows a quick, elusive, purposed runner, who runs a bit high, but given a set of cutback or counter plays and inside zone to keep the defense honest, could be really dangerous in this offense. In an attempt to compare what someone of his ability and recruiting ranking (247 composite #6, .9324 rating) has shown is capable of in the past 3 years or so as a freshman, we can consider our very own Toneil Carter, Devwah Whaley, Trey Sermon, and Saquon Barkley as players who saw some significant playing time as a freshman. While Saquon is an outlier and Trey Sermon benefitted from having Baker Mayfield under center, it would be a welcome addition to get 5 YPC out of another set of legs in the backfield, especially one with pigskin security and big play ability. Tre Watson - 247 says 5'11 205, looks shorter Has the most experience out of the group, minus Kyle Porter, whom I will leave out of this discussion, in large part due to the addition of Tre Watson. I see Watson as a replacement for Kyle Porter in all passing situations where we'd want an experienced RB to help with blitz pickups to go along with someone quick out of the backfield. Hasn't had a single season where he's had 200 carries, but will not be asked to be the primary ball carrier unless he shows out. He has a career rushing average of 5.1 YPC, but given his 2 best and most heavily used seasons out of the backfield were alongside Jared Goff and a 5th year senior Davis Webb, he had a massive benefit and likely took advantage of soft defenses. This can't be understated. Will we want to use him in some different ways than the previous 3: draws and counters out of the shotgun on passing downs, screens and passes to the flat. He's our "keep em honest" RB. We have a back field with 4 different guys that have different skillsets that Stan Drayton, Herb Hand and Tom Herman need to be able to make good use of to take heat off of Sam and/or Shane and/or Cam (I kid I kid). The talent level is the highest and deepest it's been in a while. We need to take a massive leap forward in the running game, it's the difference between 7-5 and 10-2. And if Kyle Porter sees the field, it should only be in mop up duty after Keaontay needs a rest.
  4. Damn man, hot take. Really, you sign them all? You take the best talent available? Is that what you do in that situation? No shit man.
  5. Gotta love Floyd for trying. If the absolute most ridiculous happens, and Tufono and Rian Davis commit, do you change your defense to get the 2 or 3 of them (and Dele) on the field in the future? That would be 3 elite, bluechip Mikes in back to back classes.
  6. Is this the kind of stupidity that I’ve been missing in CR? Glad I don’t go in there. ”Bus doesn’t say you can’t kill people so I guess I can kill someone on the bus.” Can you tell your ass from a hole in the ground? Does someone need to tell you that you should be breathing right now to continue living?
  7. What’s your deal? Just not a soccer fan and enjoying the trolling?
  8. Would be great if we were able to build some momentum during the dead period. A Shepherd commitment and a Caldwell flip would definitely help with that.
  9. No, but your mom and her seem to be in sync which really kinda defeats the purpose of a side piece.
  10. I hope this was sarcasm. Alternative is u r regarded
  11. I've got a Mexican girlfriend so I'm rooting for Mexico. Don't care if that makes me a dick. We should have fucking qualified.
  12. That page is written so poorly it crashes Chrome for iOS for me each time it loads.
  13. Top left, we’re clearly in the lead #calculator
  14. Seems like a ripoff of Trailer Park Boys, but I’ll allow it.
  15. Okay I actually laughed out loud at it, even while having empathy for ausjala and his Blink-182-What’s-My-Age-Again-album-cover-nurse-mom.
  16. “Hey man, even Einstein was a little racist”
  17. They’re also indoors in that photo. That hat is mainly for keeping your face and neck from getting burnt. What a dweeb #lit
  18. Would you say his meat judging is less than adequate for an Aggy?
  19. So is she hot or did she just wake up and decide she doesn’t want a 5’9” beta male with a needle dick?
