Beaker 2,457 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 2 hours ago, Zeek said: Let me add one more thing...our turnover rates at Running Back really helps justify taking three backs. The last few seasons we've had RB's leave for pro almost every year, transfer for playing time, or even being removed for violation issues, and injuries. Bringing in three should allow you to use redshirts and really breed some competition for a future and brutal group of backs. Who knows maybe the offensive PTB are looking for more of a committee approach at RB instead of running one or two guys into the ground. Plus our current group of backs were apparently not big enough for certain teams linebackers so I'll take the big boy with tremendous upside. Very well stated. All three points - SPOT ON 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aujeff11 6,243 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 So apparently Joiner was the highest rated uncommitted RB before today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerbrotha12 2,362 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 This running back class has slowly gone from "what are we gonna do" to "who's gonna stop us?" What a great class! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on actual frame and at what point adding weight hurts quickness & elusiveness. For the most part there's no true ideal weight for any height. It's all person specific.

JDUBB4AU 5,102 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Ok I finally watched joiners tape . Quick guy, not fast, great hands . Not a physical runner yet. Great moves for a guy his size . Could do a lot with him . Reminds me of Aaron Hernandez minus .. well you know . He needs a great offseason with plenty of strength and conditioning.

But most importantly he can catch th ball. I can see why CCL has him high on his board, perfect for Chip' O game plan Great. But will we actually throw to a running back. And if we only play one RB per year, will he actually play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he is a tad short, but could be a heck of a threat in that position. Hands, speed, elusive (geez his film shows that).... Look at what he did at 0:59 into the film. I think he could get deep into the secondary 2-3 times a game with some short TE routes. Kinda cradles the ball as he catches it, but that can be changed. But you have to want to throw to a TE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
