Rank the new Running Backs

Give your best guess.

Braylon Heard



Edit: Other highlight videos below.

 

[Roark]

Abdullah's a stud. I think he's going to surprise a few people.

Went with Green because he ran for 2,000 yards in Texas' toughest division. All three could end up being very good, but Heard has been out of football for a year and I know very little about Abdullah.

I haven't a clue but it's outrageously great to have all three greased lightning rbs coming in.

Who would have guessed that Bo would be a recruiting machine?

I went with Heard just based on what I see from youtube highlight videos. The kid runs behind his pads and accelerates like crazy. Also, he seems to have the vision to hit the smallest creases.

My only knock on Green's running style is that he seems to run upright and doesn't break many tackles (maybe just because no one touches him?!). Probably played the best competition of the 3.

Abdullah is kind of a wild card. Shifty little back. Kind of reminds me of that running back from CU. Rodney Stewart, or something like that? Again, hard to guess based on level of competition.

Aaron Green

 

[The Dude]

Seemed to be a lot of running out of bounds to avoid contact on Aaron Green's highlight tape, if I remember right. Seems to have all the tools though.

I voted Heard, kid is a stud. But really, who knows.

 

[Husker from Kansas]

i went with green due to the level of competition he played in high school, however i think they all will be great huskers

I haven't a clue either. Just guessing blindly. I'm excited about all three though! Thanks Bo!

 

[The Dude]

It is exciting, can't stress enough how HUGE it was for Heard to make the grade. I love love LOVE the fact that Coach Brown will be coaching these kids!

Me too! The other coaches talk about Brown like someone who can coach any position and get the best out of the players. He should have plenty of raw material to mold.

 

[maskershake]

Went with Braylon. Hard to tell with any of these guys though. Ameer is a shifty little dude as is Green but like someone else said Green seems to shy away from contact. Who knows what he'll be like after Dobson gets ahold of him though

Here's what I want to see . . . which will never happen . . . and probably for good reasons.

I want to see a flexbone formation with Martinez under center, Burkhead as the fullback, and 2 out of Abdullah/Green/Heard lined up as slotbacks.

My goodness I love the triple option.

 

[Stumpy1]

I went with A.A. He comes across as a tough little dude and has a very workman like attitude, just like Burkhead.

 

[BIG ERN]

I was QB in high school and this is the offense we ran. Worst offense ever if you have speed! Its for little kids and teams like Navy.

I'm comfortable in saying that this comment shows that you have much to learn about football . . . extensive high school experience notwithstanding.

"Worst offense ever if you have speed?!" Wow.

You can start the learning here. Continue by delving into one of my favorite examples here. Finally, educate yourself here.
