A talented, tough runner.

He seldom, if ever, fumbles.

I think the new coaching staff and scheme will result in an improved season from him. The competition from a stronger running back room will also benefit him.

He may can run a 10.2 on a track but he definitely doesn't run that in the open of a football field. Nothing against him but he gets caught and tackled pretty fast.

Or vision. Hopefully Smith can get him tuned up.
Hopefully, Wolford and Cregg can get the new OL tuned and coached up.

Outside of Moore and Seaton, it's still not an OL that's overloaded with a tremendous amount of upper echelon SEC talent.

Lacks vision and suddenness on the football field. Could be physical quickness he lacks or his indecision leads to being late hitting holes. Likely a combo of both

Sort of like a controlled environment/lab setting on the track versus a real world experience like on the field during a game. 10.2 on a track in shorts and spikes is a lot different than pads, helmet, and full gear in cleats on a grass field..

Edit - I've got faith in him though. Not discounting his potential. He's got to prove that this year though.

How does that translate to wins for the football team? Be specific.

Totally agree with all of that. There's track speed and there's football field speed with everything on.

I've said it numerous times: Les Miles would thrive in today's game. Design an offense around the power I with a fullback leading the charge and clearing the gap, allowing the half back to break into the second level, and you'd dominate today's game. Add a QB who can deliver an accurate pass to a receiver running a post or fly route on a play action, and you'd run up the score.

Teach a line how to build a pocket, and teach a QB how to work a pocket, instead of abandoning it to scramble away from his pursuers (a lost skill these days).

There isn't a defense out there built to stop that.


I think you're the best troll ever, except I think even more that you are serious. We did this for the last 5 years of Les' tenure.

1st and 10, I formation, 22 men in the Box, run up the middle. 2nd and 10, I formation, 22 men in the box, run up the middle. 3rd and 9, run a 6-yard slant that would have still been short if you completed it but no worries incomplete. Fourth and long punt. Great defense so you hold the other team to three and out. Rinse/ repeat.

Yes you beat every team that you were physically stronger than which is 9 or 10 a year because there is no risk and no real chance for error. It's a glorified rugby scrum. But then you play Bama and watch Leonard fournette running to the middle of the field where all 22 players are and go for 15 yards on 35 carries.... and end his Heisman campaign

I hear what you're saying. Defenses are different now so it would work. I'm all for an occasoonal I formation package, but that was some terrible football to watch.

We just hired possibly the best offensive mind in college football and you are literally saying the best thing we could do is bring the offense into the 1970s. I'm as ready as anybody to get away from the draw out of the shotgun in short yardage that has not worked since the Bush Administration . But I'm not ready for all I formation all the time again.
