To me it looked like he took a step back last season. But he has shown to be very good in the times was able to get comfortable in his role.When JoJo gets on the field, as a runner IMO he is pretty much the equal of Boom! And I like Boom a lot!
Grumpy if you put Georgia's backs behind our OL would they still be getting insane ypc? Or is the amount of yards they chew up more of an indication of just how good of a line you guys have?
Chubb is a monster and was the best back in the sec when he got touches. Do you think he would have done that well here?
One last thing, I think what hurts our RB's numbers last season was the amount of times Towels ran the ball himself instead of letting his stable of backs run it. Towels was effective at it in some games but more often than not he wasn't and it's a matter of time before he's going to get a lick laid on him he won't pop back up from.
We are MUCH better than #8 in the SEC. I would put us a lot closer to #2-3. We have more talent than anyone they put in front of us and as much depth. The only reason they could have us this low is the fact they think the OL is not good enough to get any openings. We are going to surprise EVERYONE except us fans!!!!
Kamara is very good and will likely beat Hurd out, but he isn't proven, how can he be included?
Agree. Boom is top 5 overall category, but JoJo has been inconsistent and Horton is unproven. King may be a big surprise. Talent is there but need production now.8th seems to be a fair evaluation.
8th seems to be a fair evaluation.
Kamara won't beat Hurd out, they have two very different running styles and will be used in different ways. Sometimes in the same play. One is built for power, one is built for speed. Not sure if you read the article, but I'm guessing not because a lot of players haven't played a down in the SEC and were still considered when they were ranking the RBs. Maybe that's a good indication you should take it with a grain of salt if you wish.
That's good to hear, keeping the biggest threat to the defense on the bench is good for the opposition, and Kamara didn't go to UT to be 2nd in line so he is likely to sit and pout if he isn't starting. I probably know far more about him and seen him play more than you have at this point and know one of his HS coaches pretty well and one of his coaches at Bama really well.
As for reading the article, I did and yes lots of kids were mentioned who haven't proved anything and that group of RB's were in the top 4 RB groups in the league. Of course I am prejudice but I think UGA has the best back and if healthy could have the best group but 2 of them haven't shown they can stay healthy. Michel would have had 1k yards last year or very close if he hadn't missed 6 games, and was ahead of Chubb on the depth chart heading into the Clemson game, but after that it was not too hard to see what Chubb could do with the ball, Both averaged over 7 ypc, who alone with Gurley gave us 3 RB who averaged over 7 ypc. Bobo should have been fired for trying to throw the ball against UF when we were up 14 in the first and Chubb had over 100 yards on 9 carries, after than he had 4 touches. All the momentum and a 14-0 lead and he throws 6 passes on consecutive 3 and outs and that was the game. We probably take a step back offensively because as best I can tell we have no clue who the qb is going to be, a Buck Blue clone would work, he did ok handing the ball off to Hershel.
