You’ve recruited fine at the RB position.
It’s poor OL development and the 20 year old scheme you’re running right now… -
He’s just coming to get the medical treatment he needs for free then 2022 hit the portal

Disagree. I don’t see one nfl back on the roster. Maybe Sunday or berry but only because I have not seen them play and they are unknown.chuck said:
I dont think the RB talent is really poor at all. McGrew is a spunky little guy with everything one would ask for except size. Davis has hands, size, quicks, and speed but hasn't seen a crease to run through yet. Newton, when he just picks a spot and hammers it, is a talented runner with speed. Pleasant is huge with quicks, blocks well, and is an excellent receiver. Sunday and Barry both have size and speed. Adams too.haie said:Apparently the coaches were also checking out running backs in the local area last weekend.
Boner has been a disaster outside of Gaskin, Ahmed, and McGrew.
I'm not saying he couldn't have recruited better, as Davis is probably the only one in the room who was a first choice recruit, but the guys brought in aren't lacking talent. The running game is just piss poor due to design, play calling, and blocking. As I've said repeatedly, the problems on this team are systemic. Judging any particular player or even unit harshly is really not fair at this point. That includes the RBs

You're probably right about the NFL, but what you've used to determine that so far is not valid, imo. Just an opinion though.AtomicDawg said:

Newton. Horrible vision seeks contact and doesn’t break many tackles or move piles as much as you’d like to see for a physical tailback.chuck said:

Davis- has decent hands but not much else sticks out about him. Has a little burst to him but not outstanding. Apparently fumbles. Maybe he figures it out.
Pleasant- not fast or elusive and doesn’t run physical enough. Good in pass protection.
McGrew is decent. I’ve wanted to hate him for years but he is a contributor although probably not a bell cow.
Anyone else has t played enough to form any opinion. If you’re trying to be a top 15 program you should be able to have a dude or two in the stable that plays at the next level. Yes the line sucks but I have seen talented backs make their own yards in that circumstance before. These guys do not.
Does anyone else see it different?

I think I'm part of a small minority as far as the running backs go. I still think Cam Davis hasn't had ample opportunity to form an intelligent opinion about him.AtomicDawg said:

I don't see a ton of separation from Newton, Davis, and Pleasant. They are all big, physical, but not elusive and/or playmakers. Newton is ahead of the other two by a gnats ass. McGrew hits it hard, has better anticipation and vision, and has potential for explosive plays. He needs to be used alot more

Yeah, it seems like we have four B-/C+ level running backs running behind a bad offensive line. Each time one of them seemingly looks better than the other 3, they regress the next game and someone else looks slightly better. Right now I'd also say McGrew looks the best, which means that today he'll get 1.2 ypcdannarc said:I don't see a ton of separation from Newton, Davis, and Pleasant.

I was excited to hear in camp that Cam Davis looked to be "the guy" but he's honestly been the most unimpressive of the bunch thus far -
How has newton looked better than anyone? He runs with his head down right into the linebacker every time. Even Pleasant has shown the ability to make a cut and break a tackle. He's the "big back" that should be getting those carries with Mcgrew in for every other snapdannarc said:I don't see a ton of separation from Newton, Davis, and Pleasant.

Chris Polk ran behind four piles of goo and Kelemete. Kid trucked his way into my heart forever and he was just a fringe NFL RB. A more talented “stable” LOL, could do more with our antiquated offense than the kids we are running out there.
