Need Chaney and Citizen to have a big season.

…I mean I have no problems with any argument concerning Don being RB1, but 7 for 23 with a long of 6 yards ain’t clear as day.

I’m not saying you in particular, but a majority of posters here put Don on some pedestal that he definitely doesn’t belong on…is he a good back with fantastic upside? Sure, won’t argue that; but he’s not clear RB1, especially with how brittle he’s been. Given Parrish’s experience in the best conference in College Football + crispness in regards to route-running in the passing game, I think he has the edge.

This is how I feel about all our RB's. I get the "things are about to change" excitement and potential of our RB's.

But on the field - Parrish has been the most productive RB out of Parrish/Chaney/Knighton trio - but none has done anything special (yet).

None of the 3's production is really close to Homer & Dallas, and probably close but not as good as Cam.

So if no RB has been as good as Homer/Dallas/Cam who were in the same backfield in 2018 - I don't think we can throw out early 2000 comparisons.

Valid point. I think at the end of the day we finally have a coaching staff who will know wtf to do with the talent we have. Not gonna throw out early 2000 comparisons because that's just ridiculous but fixing the OL and smart playcalling will go a long way for the backfield. TVD developing and balling out will obviously be a major component and aid to the RBs.

My mistake, I've must have read something wrong. I thought you said we have the best backfield in the country is what had me perplexed. Former D1 player myself so it could be my cte

HUH?

We're you drinking when you wrote this?

My question was about your statement that "Citizen is the one that intrigues me the most, quietly he could be the gem"


I was just wondering what you've seen from him that intrigues you?

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.

They most likely cancel each other out in that aspect. If Chaney has a big year that means he stays healthy obviously. Chaney healthy is the feature back. He will get ALOT of carries. Parrish and rooster are complementary with rooster a far bigger option in the offense then simply at running back. He's going to be a weapon period that we will get the ball however we can. Chaney staying healthy negates the possibility of citizen having a big year because citizen is a bellcow back. He can do it all as a feature back. But he will eventually get tons of carries. Just hopefully not at Don's expense. If that happens it'll be because Don isn't doing what he's supposed to or he didn't stay healthy.

I agree with all of this BUT I hope we do not overuse Chaney given his injury history. Rather use him less if possible and (hopefully) keep him healthy.

Mario mentioned in a interview that Chaney has a history with his health and he needs to commit to taking better care of himself. He’s gotta take care of his body like he’s a professional football player.

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.
