    Totally agree on Chaney - I think he's the most talented and has the best full package of traits you want in a RB that we have. Really hope he makes a 100% recovery. For Knighton/Thad - I actually see their styles reversed, and it doesn't make sense because their styles don't match their body...

    I agree - Knighton is way more like Cooper than he is Duke/Cook. Walton had 8 30+ runs in his career (2 vs P5) and Yearby had 7 (4 vs P5). Walton being remembered as the more explosive player is by far the popular opinion. I'm in the minority in thinking there wasn't much difference between...

    Rooster Highlights 2021

    Knighton has 188 carries vs P5 teams. So far, he's been much more Walton than Cooper (I can't break down Coopers exact 188 carries). Knighton hasn't been pretty, but watching Walton vs P5 was like dropping a bowling ball on your sac over and over in a continuous time loop. Walton didn't get a...

    On the positive side - Knighton's 4 30+ yd catches is tied with Mark Walton for the most in the last 20 years. Knighton's 13.4 YPR is the highest since Edgerrin James 14.2 YPR.

    The OL needs work, but takes too much heat. Cam averaged a full yard more per carry behind the same OL. Both have their faults. Cam bounced outside for a big run too much, and didn't run physical enough. Knighton runs too physical and doesn't look to bounce enough. Knighton is killing...

    I have a little different take - I think Knighton burnt out as the season went on. Not really his fault - injuries forced him into a workhorse #1 role when he's probably better as a change of pace #2 type guy. His 32 carries against GT was the most carries in a game by a Cane RB since Willis...

    100%. I've felt like Knighton's ceiling is between Homer & Duke. But from what I've seen on the field, he's not there yet. Homer was better at this point. Here's a Homer vs Knighton comparison of their rushing stats from their Sophomore years vs P5 teams. Statistically - it's not close...

    Rooster Highlights 2021

    Rooster has the potential a huge year this year - but the Duke/Cook comparisons need to stop. He's been nowhere close to that level (yet). Statistically speaking....Receiving - he's Edgerrin James. Rushing - he's Javarris James. He's a weapon - but the running has a ways to go still...
