Serious Question: name 5 teams that have a better RB core than the Canes

[filmcane]

We definitely have the best RB core in the ACC, but who else has this kind of talent and depth? Maybe UGA, BAMA and the *s. That's about it I think.

This is the kind of quality and depth we had in 2001.

If Mirabol increases our OL to above average, maybe even good, we are going to monster the ACC on the ground.

 

[Go Canes!!]

Chaney’s health will go a long way towards answering that question.

Should probably edit your subject line.

Good call. Thx

Worrying about people transferring out due to depth at a position is a great problem. I hope everyone can stay patient because they will all get their turn, and you don't need a ton of carries to get a chance in the pros.

Cream gonna rise to the top!

 

[CANEMC]

We got all kinds for whatever the down and distance is. That's what I like. The variety of the room.

RBs dont run alone... they require an OL thats made to run.... We are not even in the top half of the ACC with an OL made to run the ball.

We have great depth now. Our 4th/5th RB is probably as talented as any other team's 4th/5th RB.

But right now we're the sum of our parts. We need a RB to emerge so that our #1 RB is as good as any other teams #1.

Gonna be great competition for carries.

And Brashard can be used in so many ways in the backfield and in motion on jet sweeps.

It is going to be so much fun to see how we utilize all these guys. (Yes, I know there's some guys who may bolt but still.)

To get carriers means you’re going to have to work your *** off, which is what makes for great players.

"Name 5 NFL teams" might be the more appropriate question.

sad to say but this is a classic CIS thread overrating our own players

if we offered to trade RB rooms w/ Ohio State they would laugh us off the face of the planet based on TreVeyon Henderson alone. the same is true for Texas and Bijan Robinson. our depth looks nice but having that no. 1 stud is more important than anything. you could prob throw Auburn and Tank Bigsby in there to be quite honest. and based on recruiting rankings Ohio State and Texas would look at our collection of 4 stars and say they have the same thing if not better.

Texas A&M has a very productive back in Devin Achane, a top 50 overall player in LJ Johnson behind him and signed a top 100 overall player (Le'Veon Moss) in this cycle to go along w/ Amari Daniels who averaged almost 6 ypc last year.

Clemson has a 5 star back who was productive for them last year and another high 4 star kid behind him, I honestly doubt they'd look upon our RB room w/ much if any jealousy.

i'm not even gonna touch on the idea that our current RBs are anywhere near Portis, McGahee, and Gore

let's actually see some real consistent performance from our backfield and then we can revisit the possibility of this

theres only 1 football, setting up for 2-3 to transfer out just so they can get playing time and go pro

Nah you need 6 guys at that position - there's only so much of a pounding you can take.

I HATED that Lashlee ran Rooster into the ground last season. Rotate, rotate, rotate - we have the talented depth to do it. Nothing worse as a defence than seeing one talented RB walk off the field and a fresh talented RB run onto it. It's demoralising.
