Far too many DVs, but you are right. We need that guy that gets the 3-5 yards when needed to move the chains.

Veteran runningback

Jackson will be a jr next year, isn’t that considered a vet rb?

If you want a RB that runs up the back of his Olinemen, yes. He has only proven that he has zero vision when playing.

This is stupid. There are only 2 here and two in the class. Only one that makez any sense is Jackson, and his doesn't make sense considering he is at worst the #2 RB. Yall gotta get 2024 out of your mind. All players don't stay the same.

Yeah Holly is no given at this point.

Then you're left with 2 true freshman, and underachieving Kaleb Jackson and an undersized back in Durham. I love CD but I don't think he can carry the load through an SEC schedule.

Also. Coach Frank loves an RBBC. Cant have too many backs. We definitely need to add one. Id also look at giving Perkins 5 carries a game and see where it goes.

I too love Durham, but we need that dude that when he gets hit, he somehow grabs another couple yards. Now, is that Berry or maybe Lindsay? I'm open-minded but I doubt it.

aint noone worth a shite coming here to only carry on 3rd and short and pass block.

also, not sure what games you seen, but CD was bouncing off dudes every game. You share the rock with 2-3 other rbs, donts see why he cant be that dude on 3rd down

Let Perkins play the short yardage and goaline role

Unless some drastic new evidence is submitted, I assume the next updates will be at the end of February.

You go and get Branson Robinson from UGA who flashed as a true fresh but since injury had been buried on the depth chart. There is your pass blocking short yardage back with potential high upside that shouldn't be outside of our $ range.

I think Durham can step up as a pass blocker and he’s a better pass catcher/receiver in 3rd down.

He’s also more of a threat to run for a 1st

yep, Frank likes to line them up and send in a new back almost every play.
Often makes no sense whatsoever....but Frank can recruit.

Yep, I saw the USCe game and agree with you. Just didn't see much thereafter. Durham is good at bouncing off tackles when going wide, but not so much when hitting the middle.

Josh Williams wasn't a burner but he sure could get the tough yards on a consistent basis unlike anyone else on our roster last year.
