How crazy is that, that you look at the possible candidates, and it's like, play the biggest guy, he might be able to take the hits.

War Eagle!

Here comes @aujeff11 chanting JO-EY! JO-EY! JO-EY! JO-EY!

Shoot, at this point I wouldn't argue. And I still think Cord is a legit candidate for the same reason. Well, his build and his age.

You're not a villain. Boobee's running style takes a toll on him no doubt. Another reason we need at least 3 every down RBs on roster.

I feel like he's good to pick up a few yards every run but I don't see big play ability....and I mention this because as you know we're pretty much dependant on that threat so we can set up play action and if a defense doesn't have to honor the run game I think whoever is our QB is screwed without that threat

You may be right but that's hard for me to tell given good OL blocking is needed to give an RB a chance at a big play & Whit has not had that type of blocking.

Great point. I don't know how I didn't come to that conclusion myself

I think the athleticism is there, but dude is very green. Not sure he sees the field like a next-level back, at least not yet.

No I'm dead serious.....I really don't know how I wouldn't factor that in with the hb but I was with the QB.....I didn't think are you properly evaluating the hb because he wasn't behind a good line

I feel like he's just running into a linebacker....he's not getting the ball and trying to score

Maybe this is where Caddy will pay off. Who knows. 

Shivers definitely feels like a little bit more of a playmaker so far.

Yeah, Shivers just needs a sliver of a hole and he can take it to the house! See Iron Bowl! Whitlow can get the tough yardage, but like Cole said I’m not sure he will be a big home rum threat.

No worries. We all miss things sometimes.

Yeah. I'm curious which of our guys can actually see that sliver, especially since they'll often need to be able to see it before it's there.

And I do like big RBs although I will take any RB that can see tbe hole and hit the hole hard all day.

I like Whitlow. He’s a football player. RB is very new to him but he looks good to me and will get better. Needs to be more consistent blocking catching but running is good and will get better. I like Worm too.
