Tailback Who?

| | Comments (3) |

Is the jumbled depth chart at tailback a sign that the controversial tailback-by-committee approach will exist for another season?
Stafon Johnson looks like the starter but Joe McKnight will undoubtedly get his carries. C.J. Gable is somewhere between purgatory and playing time but Allen Bradford expects to play when healthy and Curtis McNeal shouldered the burden during a strong spring.
On top of that, Marc Tyler has the size and speed to be an every down back next season after a good spring. So what happens? Another season searching for a hot hand, which sometimes means no one gets a hot hand?

Wolfie,

The same tired argument again? And, it's a personal rant you have, not based in any fact. Here's a fact for you: Last season's running back rotation resulted in the 3rd best rushing totals of the PC era.

It's not about how many backs are carrying the ball and/or how many carries each of them gets. It's more about the playcalling/packages being poorly timed and/or obvious.

They'll do it by committee again this year, and it should work even better.

Drop it, Wolfie...

Still the same-old, hackneyed Smeagol-Wolf, back to his little tired tricks.

If only this blog was written by committee, then we might not suffer from the same petty, predictable criticisms from a man who knows more about stalking than football.
