Anyone think Yearby will be strong enough to carry the load at RB this fall? He seems a bit light to be an every down back. He needs to have a "Duke" like season. IMO we are really going to miss Edwards.

If anyone does they clearly don't follow the team or updates on what is going on. It has been said multiple times that Yearby, Walton and Choc will split carries.

Which will still be good. He does have better vision and quickness than Duke though.
 
I noticed this last year watching Yearby, he hits the hole fast and hard. His cuts are very sharp and he maintains good speed in and out of his cuts. He is not going to out run anyone I don't think but he runs with a violence. If he can get that Duke like stiff arm he will do very well. At 205lbs he will be durable enough. Remember he's only 5'9" (on a good day".
 
These RBs will have an advantage over Duke because of Kaaya. Duke had to face 9 man fronts with a coaching staff trying to eat minutes more than score points. This year defenses will be focused on Kaaya as our key weapon.
 
Personally I think he's faster than people give him credit for and he cuts and darts like a Muthafukka. Really like the way he runs.

I don't think of Duke as an every down back therefore I don't think we will suffer that much. The OL is still the question mark.
 
As long as he learns how to get hit (if that make sense) he should be alright. I dont think he is a workhorse and hopefully we dont use him like one

I think he can be that who breaks multiple 10-15 yards runs a game. He just doesn't have that long speed. He definitely has that burst though. I'd like to know if Walton brings that to the table though. Can Walton out run a secondary?

True. I really want to see what choc can do. He certainly has the potential to do something big.
 
Yearby's initial burst and quickness will make him just as successful in college as he was in hs. You dont have to be a homerun threat to be an elite rb. I believe his vision, initial burst, quickness and extra muscle added will make him one of the top rbs in the ACC, if not the top.
 
I'm excited to see what he can do now that he's the man. I'm sure he relishes it and wants to show people he can be a force to be reckoned with like his boy Dalvin Cook.

You just described Clinton Portis
 
Mark Walton will be on an NFL roster getting carries in a few years and Yearby is good enough to get there as well. Now will they be effective enough splitting carries here..who knows. but despite what people might lead us to think, it’s not armageddon. Gus going down hurts but in my opinion Gus in the game wouldn’t have been a huge improvement over Walton or Choc (because yearby was starter regardless) and it gives them more experience/time and they both have higher ceilings that Edwards.

Losing Duke, Clive, and dorsett cannot be overstated. Anytime a qb loses his best three options, they digress. However Kaaya was also a true freshman, and we have a strong Receiving Corp so with Yearby and Walton picking up duke’s slack I think it’s not inconceivable to believe that our offense can be more efficient with a more experienced receiving corps, a more mature qb, and another year into Coach Coley’s offense
