If Chaney and or Citizen can step up and have a big year, this offense will hum. We need a big powerful back to step up and soften up the defense. This will help two players in particular: TVD and Rooster. TVD will have more open receivers because defenses will have to respect the run and Rooster will get touches against beaten and tired defenses.

If Chaney is healthy he's going to ball. This Offense favors the RB's.

I also would love to see a package of Parrish & Knighton out there at the same time.
 
Parrish is the best pure running back IMO, but he doesn’t have elite speed or size. Chaney has elite speed and size, but he cannot stay healthy (fingers crossed he can this year). Knighton will get his touches and is electric in space — would love to see him used extensively in the passing game.

Those would be my top 3. Not dismissing Thad (he could absolutely carve out a role, especially if Chaney is not healthy to start the season and/or gets hurt). Citizen is a wild card, curious to see how quickly he gets on the field.

Hey Cribby, I respect your opinion but why does Rooster take a back seat to anyone in the passing game? He has been an absolute mismatch and honestly he's more proven

Knighton is a pretty good receiving back especially with running angle routes and wheel routes out of the backfield. But Parrish is close to being a wr, it’s just different. Thats how well rounded his routes are. He’s going to be a problem in this offense.

I see all of the guys having their roles but Parrish brings an element we haven’t had in a minute with the pass game. He’s perfect for Gattis and Tvd.

I'd say we got the best stable of backs in the country. With the new OC, offensive scheme, additions and OL Coaches (Mario and Mirabal) the running game will be the most improved aspect of our offense. WR and TE will eat better because of the running game improvements.

🙌🙌🙌🙌 , spot on , this backfield has the potential to take us to championships in all seriousness.
This rotation is just plain sick , imagine opposing D WTF no way in the 4th quarter an we haven’t finished rotating 6 legit starters OMG .

Our TE and WR will love it going deep and our flanker screen.

Yes I’m excited.

I agree, but you can’t leave Thad out when referencing a big powerful back. I think the new coaching staff benefits Thad and I think he’s going to eat in Gattis’s offense with Mario and Maribol being so hands on with the offensive line. If he’s healthy, you can’t leave him out of the equation. Imo
