  1. Cain to me looks like someone with a ceiling around Malcolm Brown's ability, which is nothing to shake a stick at. I think we'd all agree that we'd take another one of those, no question. Not overly fast, good balance and vision, a little wiggle, runs hard, has a lower center of gravity. Doesn't have the acceleration or top end speed of someone like Zeke Elliot that would make a RB of that mold a game changer.

    I had never been less worried about a 3rd and long than when VY had the ball. Dude was pretty much automatic. 

    I agree, but I will admit 22 yards on 4th and 18 against KU was absolutely unexpected, even after the ridiculous comeback against OSU.

    Vince Young was ranked pretty high 247. 1 dual, 1 state, 1 nation

     

     

     

     

    And he proved it by having the greatest season by a college QB ever. Seems like he was a can't miss prospect.

    I could find many lower ranked dual threat QB's who improved a bit as a passer in college and were able to use their wheels to exploit weaknesses in defenses to be a good to great college QB, value that can't be demonstrated in most camp and 7 on 7 settings.

  4. One thing I've never understood with respect to recruiting rankings, is are they ranking those players on their perceived ability to succeed in college, or are they ranking those players on their perceived pro ability? Seems that many dual threat quarterbacks are always ranked fairly low in the 247 rankings with the exception of someone like Deshaun Watson and even then I think he was outside the top 50 that year. If they're judging based on perceived pro ability, I think they have ground to stand on wrt dual threats being pushed down the top 247.

  5. Either he ordered the attack or she is that conniving to make it look like he did it. The level of detail of items requested by the assailant clearly show that there was purpose and knowledge of the situation. Can't really stand LeSean McCoy, but I will give him the benefit of the doubt even if he doesn't deserve it. He most likely ordered it so she would finally get out of his life. Given that she has lived in his place for a year after he has wanted her to move out, and considering she just came back from London and clearly loves the posh life, if there was someone who'd willing to take a few on the chin for a few million dollar pay day, I feel like she would and happily. Will be interesting to see what plays out.

    That rule is going to make the season so fun. Seeing that badass db class in some garbage time (hopefully) blowouts will be cool.

    This. Running Backs should never be redshirted, due to their average NFL career being shorter than other positions. We should have running backs that leave after junior years without a redshirt.

    With that being said, we get to see what Angilau looks like without burning a shirt (and maybe we need to). We get to see what our loaded DB class looks like. Now we just need to blow out some teams so there’s garbage time.

    Carter has the potential to be a feature back but goddamn he can't hold on to the ball to save his life. 

     

    Give me heavy doses of Danny Young and Tre Watson until Carter can prove his hands aren't coated in butter, redshirt Ingram and unleash him next year. 

    Agree with everything but redshirting Ingram. We should be running the ball more frequently now that we have guys in the backfield that can find a hole in the line we do have or make people miss. If Carter can't get his shit together with respect to keeping the ball clean, that's Ingram's role to lose, and I see at least 3 different roles in our backfield.

    More importantly, our return to the promised land is heavily impacted by landing commitments over the next 2 classes from the likes of Noah Cain, Trey Sanders, Zachary Evans. We need to prove to them that we're not stingy with who gets the rock, that yardage can be earned behind our running schemes and against the Big XII, with an oline that is not even elite yet, and that freshman get to eat too. I want to win the playoffs when we get there, not just get there and we do that with elite talent.

    Appreciate the post and pov but at this point I have a hard time even caring about the RB until I'm convinced our OL won't be utter shit.

    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.
