It will be interesting to see what affect it has on the team.  Adams and Howard had the most experience but haven’t shown much production in their playing time to date.  Both were big guys who lacked that extra gear you would like in an RB.

I think we lose something with pass blocking but gain some speed and play making ability.

IMHO, for this team to be successful, Jordan needs to touch the ball a lot.  Was worried with 3 veterans ahead of him at RB, that wasn’t going to happen.  It should now.  If he is as special as I think he is, the opt outs were the best thing that could have happened to this team.

There is going to be a lot more speed and play making ability on the offense with the skilled guys this season.  We didn’t have a big WR last season, we had 2 relatively slow guys playing the slot (Riley and an injured Nykeim).  I like a healthy Nykeim, Sharod Johnson and future star Courtney Jackson so much better than those who.   This season, Jordan and Benson will play prominent roles in the offense.  Add in Harris and Hackett, a year older, stronger and better, Queeley, Hendrix and a bunch of talented frosh and I see our skilled positions being far better than they were last season.  With the upgrades In size and speed, we are going to be so much harder to defend this season.  Add in the major upgrade at OC and all the experience Tommy gained last season, and his ability this season to keep defenses honest running the ball, and the offense is going to be much better than last season.

Provided we have a decent OL.  Fingers crossed for no more injuries to those guys.
