Time To Start #2 over #23 at RB

I like what I see from Chaney but he does seem to need more conditioning. I’ve noticed after 2-3 carriers he’s wiped out and can’t even get his legs under him.

he got three carries in a row ... of course he was gassed

Cam ran pretty tough today zone read, is neither his or D. King’s expertise.
Especially when the coach has been in your star quarterbacks ear about him not pulling it enough.
Very few of us have played football and the ball is put in your midsection but can be taken in half a second.
He runs hard and would be suited with a few of those 2 TE sets where we could audible from a single back set under pocket to Shotgun easily moving the TEs

it would give him the opportunity for some dives, traps, stretch run plays but also allow for you to back out and utilize your TEs in some crossing, digs, or post routes.

Chaney makes the decision to go North South and sticks with it. He breaks tackles and he ends runs hard.

Harris wants to get 4 yards downfield before he is touched and is brought down easy by comparison.

Knighton is all over the map thus far but he’s got plenty of time to learn.

It's weird because Harris is built like a Mack truck. You would think he would be extremely difficult to be brought down on first contact but we have seen small CBs take him down with ease

chaney looks like the best long term prospect by far but he's had trouble staying healthy all season and is still very inexperienced. people on this board are obsessed with putting guys who have barely played in their careers right into the starting line up.

cam has actually had two pretty good bounce back games after that horrible stretch starting with clemson. he was making some nice jump cuts today to find some holes bouncing runs outside and he kept the chains moving. i would be in no rush to take him out of the starting line up. cam was 14-63-1 today w/ a long of 15 yards, chaney was 8-25 with a long of 9 yards. it's very clear who was the better back. pump the brakes and let chaney develop a bit, throwing freshmen into the starting line up is not the solution to every problem.

Chaney made positive plays when nothing was there while Harris had huge running lanes for his longer runs.

Time to start calling running plays other than up the centers ***

while I agree with this, that run up the *** is what setup the Pope TD, Harley TD against NC State etc... Lashlee takes the losses to setup chunk plays. Wiggins would have had another one if he didn’t drop the pass earlier in the Va Tech game
 
I wish Cam would add a 1,2, a spin, or stiff arm to his repertoire. That side step he does when trying to make a guy miss just aint it and his stats would be much much better if he could make the first guy miss more consistently.

That and he gives himself up to easily near the first down line on the sidelines. He never fights or reach out to get the first and always just run out of bounds.

Agreed. I don't understand why this is now a near unanimous opinion about Chaney needing to start but the groupthink is strong here.

Cam just doesn't make guys miss. He's the type of back that gets you exactly what you block for him.

Chaney is definitely starting to give off some McGahee vibes. No idea if he'll be that good, but same body type with great measurables who has burst and some versatility to his game.

Give me more two tight end sets and more Chaney. Lashlee's playcalling is very Jekyll and Hyde TBH. He'll make some good calls but sometimes it's just WAYYYYY too conservative. He's definitely a better OC than any of his predecessors, but that's not saying much. It's pretty much like coming in first place a the "prettiest fat girl" contest.

2 TEs please. Best in conference but we can’t get them on the field at once is mind boggling.
