Wow, that's harsh and unfounded (which is saying a lot for me). Credibility, btw.Names I've Heard So Far:
Stanley Jean Baptiste
Jamal Turner
Kenny Bell
Eric Martin
Jake Cotton
Kevin Williams
Thad Randle
Taylor Martinez
Brion Carnes
Yoshi Hardrick
Andrew Green
Dijon Washington
amongst guys from last year who include to impress:
Alfonzo Dennard
Ciante Evans
Lavonte David
Will Compton
Sean Fisher
Josh Williams
Mike Caputo
Jeremiah Sirles (leadership, he's injured)
Rex Burkhead
Brandon Kinnie
Kyler Reed
Ben Cotton
Right now the 2 weakest positions are RB and LB in terms of depth without drop off. RB will be taken care of in the fall when our 5-7 new guys show up. LB will be a little better but we may still lack a solid 2 deep when we're in our 3 backer set. So far the backers are Fisher, Compton, David... 2's include roach, stoddard, may... it's looking like Santos has a good chance to play early along with Pirman if they put him at LB initially.
are you kidding me? rb will be fixed when the new guys show up? the ones with no D-1 experience?..
you just lost your crediability with that koolaid comment.
Last year, four runningbacks carried the ball more than 1 time, 2 more than 24 times. You make it sound like: a. we need a ton of healthy backs b. runningback isn't the easiest position on the team to pick up in a short period of time. If one of those guys is able to step up and take carries like Rex did, sans injury, in 2009, we should be ok. If two prove to be even adequate, spelling Rex on a couple of series a half, we'll have a decent little stable. Finding two adequate true freshmen runningbacks out of between 5 and 7 prospects (in addition to the others who may be poised to break out due to Brown's coaching) shouldn't be too terribly difficult. Now I don't think that RB will be completely taken care of, but I also don't think of it as doom and gloom position group.
