Big game hunting in the fall

LoyalCane24 said:
Normally agree on running backs, BUT MJC feels like a classic Saban Bama bruiser back that dominates in big games. A Najee, Henry, Yeldon type. A Fletcher but more NFL upside. To me those playoff game wreckers behind our future Oline aren't a "dime a dozen". Nothing to do with Jacobs here. Obviously still go pedal to the metal for him.

I mean you are not wrong here, but I’m working under the assumption that funds are limited, and I would say that Jacobs has more game winning potential. If we could afford both, great, get ‘em
 
Unless the RB was a rare talent like Herschel, Bo, Marcus Dupree, ****erson, Barry Sanders, or Peterson there is need to invest in a RB at the expense of QB, OL or DL.

And I still would be hard-pressed to chose over elite QB, OL or DL.

All I did was answer your question! You stated "your not sure if there is an pure offensive tackle in this 27' class Jacob hawk is a pure tackle!
 
Id be shocked if DJ Jacobs isn't a Cane when its all said n done. Him and Bryant can be the sequel to Bain & Mesidor..two first round DEs playing on the same line. Im sure Taylor and Co will drill that into his head until signing day..

Just need Kenyatta Jackson and Beau Atkinson to end up projected in the 5th round and its a wrap

Dawson is also a freak. I like DJ and Dawson on the edges. Bryant is a Boberry biscuit away from a DT. Let Bryant be the next Justin Scott.

Cmon when bell got here everyone questioned if he had the feet to stay at tackle… his kick step was sluggish his first year. Credit to bell himself and Mirabal for turning him into an mid round draft pick

Yes, Bell looked slow and awkward when he arrived. Hawk (at least in the videos I've seen) looks even more slow and awkward. He will need a lot of work and we can hope he contributes in a few years.

Thanks for your opinion… shocker a dude coming from juco needs work. Not trying to sound like a **** just saying we have coaches that can help develop dudes… you can’t coach size but you can coach kick step, hand placement, and understand how to use the god given tools you have.

I agree. I just think he's going to need more time than Bell. And I think he could have 4 years here if he stays with the program. I don't think they would have taken him if they didn't believe he would eventually contribute.

Definitely agree he’s a longer term stash and develop kid… but in today’s NIL you gotta develop to help offset paying for 5star kids. We don’t have dodger payrolls
