Gus,Yearby, Gray, Walton will be good for Miami

Tucker!!!!

"Add in a more confident and experienced Brad Kaaya at QB, and the storyline probably should be less about who replaces Johnson as the featured back and more about how James Coley and the Canes fit the pieces they have left into a cohesive game plan that doesn't necessarily have to look exactly like last year's."

This quote says it all. Unfortunately our HC and OC are not even close to being up to the task.

Yeap, our problem is the sidelines for about the 13th years in a row, not the backfield. Actually, Kaaya looks very much like the QB we have been missing since Ken. That, by itself, makes this the best team we have seen in years. Again, except for the sidelines.

we have studs at every posistion if we dont win its coaching

Backfield is actually good. Wished they would put Gray at WR though.

If the line is solid, we'll have no problem running the ball. In the end it all comes down to the line and BK. Backs, WRs, and TEs are going to be fine.

Backfield is solid but not special. Kaaya taking the next step will be crucial.

 

[duke4heisman]

We will be fine with Collins, Michel, Powell, Cook, Scarlett, Williams and Cronkite.

Not nearly enough speed.

Not nearly enough speed.

Ding ding ding ding ding!!!! We have a winner Johnny! This is what concerns me the most. Outside of Gray our speed at rb is pedestrian.

Gus is going to be a Gurley clone this year. Gurley without the fragility.

Did Duke Johnson have elite speed? No but he had elite acceleration, vision, and an elite stiff arm. He had good breakaway speed but that's about it. Yearby is all of what Duke Johnson was except that he is notch below him in the speed category but it is getting better and remember Yearby broke his ankle in December of 2014 so now he should be fully healed. Gus Edwards has great speed for his size

OK, we all need a RB to have a good year, but let's not get crazy. Nobody projects Gus to go top 10 in next year's draft. Let's just hope our OL makes our backfield look good.

A healthy Gurley was the best college rb since AP, quit with the nonsense.

You guys fall for any **** thing. You guys do realize that 90% of franchises posts are not to be taken literally. You guys should have seen that by now...

Anyway, ALA gets by pretty well without having a RB with 4.4 speed. In fact most of their RB stable are like ours. Kids who just move the chains.

That said, if the light comes on for gus, we will be okay. If not, that's gonna be a problem. Yearby can't shoulder the load alone and I don't want to depend on Walton or gray yet.
