Watch the 1st play

[kcsu]

If Strick makes the correct cut. Has any vision he gaines 20. If he had speed he takes it to the house.
Our Oline is fine we just dont have RBs that would start for any other ACCteams. Mo is at best a situational RB.

not sure what you see there. neal made 3-4 real nice plays, we dont get the rb into the 2nd level more than a handful of times a game.. i do agree we really dont have an ACE rb, the WM kids have way more speed.

As you watch the 1st play he runs straight head down zero vision. One cut to the right is 18 wheeler open.

Good backs like good point guards have their eyes up. Mo is ok strick is very poor.

dont see anything close to that. i see about 5 WM guys though.

Wide open

you mean this, you want him to jump 2 holes to the right? maybe if he has super elite speed he beats safety, but the safety has him lined up as does the LB. what i see though is the LT lost his block and the RT whiffed. maybe Bell of the steelers who is so patient makes the the read.

I'll raise you two examples. NC State and UNC. Both teams would take Strick or Moe. Gallaspie struggled until the very end and UNC has a whole lot of nothing at RB. I'm not saying we have world beaters but let's also not go full blown we suck just yet at the position. Need to see Howard too as we have some unknowns just like the young guys at WR. It's too early to make that call and already two teams prove that theory wrong.

I'd like to see some of Pierre and Howard this year just to see what they could do. I think they have more natural ability than Strickland and Neal.

Pierre:


Howard: Jarveon Howard!! Senior Season!!

Notice that they run with their heads up.

Yes this if you watch the play he makes 1 cut to the right he is gone.

They aren’t good but they aren’t terrible either. No way UNC or NCSU would be interested in those guys though, IMO. Maybe at WR.

Seems like people stopped talking about Pierre. Last year the board was high on him.

What gives?

 

[upperdeck]

its not one cut though its 2 holes away.. you need elite speed to make that play

I disagree. Watching both those teams today I don't see how their backs are better than Neal and Strickland. If Dungey is the only runner we have reality is going to be a 3-4 win season. I just don't see it as that bad. I think we are so far down as a program and trying to come back too many are overly negative about everything surrounding it. Let's be honest. If we don't have an ACC starting quality RB ( which I believe we do) then we really haven't moved forward much at all as a program even in now year 3 with Dino.
