Mavric Posted March 30, 2023 Author Share Posted March 30, 2023 7 hours ago, The Dude said: It was reasonable to wonder why Yant wasn't getting more carries after giving a struggling offense a spark. I think it was because he did well when he did get carries and not because he was big. Chubby Purdy averaged more yards per carry than Yant last year. He probably should have been getting more carries. Also, not all that big. Yant didn't even have all that great of a game against Northwestern. He had one great carry - nearly twice as long as the next longest carry of his career. The rest of the game he averaged a little over five yards per carry. That's a nice number but not exactly setting the world on fire as the best game of your career. In 2021, he had over one third of his yards for the season on TWO CARRIES. So I guess if you're going to count those two carries as a "spark", then go right ahead. He had more games in his career averaging under three yards per carry than over five yards per carry. That's straining pretty hard to find a "spark." 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Red Five Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 There is some fullback porn in the McGuire video released yesterday. I think it was Bonner taking a FB dive into the endzone. As many have speculated, it seems like the FB position will be more of a traditional H-Back (FB/TE hybrid). 1 Quote Link to comment

Cdog923 Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Not that I have a horse in this race, but Yant averaged 2.8 YPC last year. 1 Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted April 4, 2023 Author Share Posted April 4, 2023 Ajay Allen in a yellow jersey this morning, not practicing. Yellow seems to be no contact, although they still do some drill. Quote Link to comment

But that one clip was telling. But yes it’s only one clip, so I hope he has shown more. 3 Quote Link to comment

admo Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 I don't want to dogpile here, but I have to say - without Yant - we have 3 really good running backs this year. In addition, we have Rahmir and Emmet Johnson. I am good with our backs for 2023 2 Quote Link to comment
