imaolgatiger 523 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I just want someone to play that position that can cut, read blocks, won't fall down in open field and won't run out of bounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gman87 398 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 That's a pretty open description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imaolgatiger 523 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 That's a pretty open description. That describes the last two to play that role....1 couldn't cut or read blocks.....the other would fall down in open field and would go out of bounds at the first sign of a defender...this guy looks like he can do the job.

I know Corey was supposed to try and stretch the field horizontally but man if he had just taken an angle a few times he would have gained 4 yards instead of a 0 or 1 yard loss. Drove me crazy watching him run last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFDTiger80 790 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 That position requires lightning speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellitor 33,062 Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 That position requires lightning speed. Not necessarily. Felix Jones at Arky was fast but not lightning fast when Gus was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnacle 9,064 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 That position requires lightning speed. Not necessarily. Felix Jones at Arky was fast but not lightning fast when Gus was there. This is a good point. Felix was very fast, but E is right, he wasn't a 4.3 guy, even though McFadden was. The key to success in that position, in my estimation, is having a legitimate second threat, which obviously Arkansas had. When defenses are having to respect the inside runs, it opens up the outside, and from there you just need decent blocking by your receivers. This kid Fils-Aime is plenty fast.

AU_Tiger_88 417 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Honest question, would we be taking him and not another back? Or would he be considered an addition? Seems like we will have a very crowded backfield and if we are slinging it around like others have suggested this year...we may find some folks in the '17 class not wanting to come...but if we could get a back or two near 1k yards this season plus a couple of receivers near 1k it might work well for us...Thoughts?

The staff's plan is to take 1 more RB at most in this class. They have told CFA if another RB commits there will not be a spot for him. He says he is ok with that. He is a take right now.As for the slinging it part it will be no more than 45% pass but more likely 40%. RBs and WRs can get near the numbers you mentioned but the key to that which some are overlooking is the D getting off the field. If they do there will be plenty of balls to go around regardless of the play call ratio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks E...I figured that the D would have to get off the field so the O can perform in order to hit the numbers. I am hoping that the D will get a good share of 3 and outs on opposing Offenses...I am hoping...I would also like to see at least a WR and RB get at least a K in yards and a couple of more get close...
