    Id much rather see Johnson above Davis

    It looks like it, but I didn't really mean to list them in a particular order.

    I've seen something from Adams in his limited touches. He's the main guy I want to stay that a lot of others think will transfer or switch. He had one bad drop, but looks really natural, quick, and powerful with the ball. I haven't sent enough to argue about it too much, but that's what I think.

    I also like Nixon for his quickness.

    Davis
    Johnson
    Newton
    Adams
    Rodgers
    Nixon

    I'm probably forgetting one, but off the top of my head that's the RB depth I'd like to see coming out of spring.

    Copy. I'm not real thrilled with him so I'm not surprised he was the one I forgot.

    Who is the take-it-to-the-house back?

    If we're ok with labeling Johnson as Papa 2.0 i'm good with the consistent churner who gains tough yards, keeps Penix erect, and can catch.

    But whose the guy that's gonna blow the lid off when the D is worn down?

    The way Nixon just disappeared was a little surprising. He was getting some snaps early and then was just gone. I think he is out. Dumas too. I've heard Sunday can't catch the ball so he is probably out. I hope Adams stays

    Nixon was #2 because Davis and Newton hadn’t played in fall camp. I remember Grubb saying they had proven nothing and he had very little opinion of both.

    Nixon couldn’t get on the field at Nebraska, albeit as a freshman. He’s not very good. Like Dumas, the coaches brought him on to add competition.

    I think Davis or Newton leaves. Possibly Ngata too if he’s 3rd/4th string after Spring. Tybo Rodgers will be a good RB for us and it doesn’t always take RB’s 2+ years to make an impact.

    Supposedly Sunday gave Davis the concussion that kept him out of the Alamo Bowl.

    He just sold the couch
    How did that happen?

    Surprised Sunday never got any meaningful snaps. He looked like a better Dick Newt

    Still not sure there is one unless you're hoping Ngata can be the player he was supposed to be coming out of high school.

    Johnson should be a better version of Taulapapa.
