I like the big RB who will get 3-5 ypc.
6-2 233.
Maroney can break one at any point which gives us homerun-ability in the running game. And I like Morris as a solid #2 back that is versatile however I want a power RB. And so far Hunt from Pent State looks to be the guy. Always moving the pile forward. Can be had for a 3rd-4th.
Kolby Smith is another guy 5"11 220.
Dwayne Wright 5"11 1/2 228.
An interesting guy Nate Ilaoa 5"9 245. I don't know anything about him.
But at that size if he can't run with power and with a 4.77 40. He can't play at this level.
these guys are all "slower" RB's. But I don't care about that. I want 3-5 yards.
All are tough and run with good power.
People might bring up Michael bush but he's got Ron Dayne syndrome.
My only qualm about Hunt is his tendency to fumble the ball. A few good scouts will have noted it, but in trying for that extra yard (the kid fights hard for his yardage, and he has a never say die attitude) he coughs it up at the last second as he gets held up, keeps churning his legs, while the second defender in strips it. What do you tell him? Go down if his forward momentum is stalled?
Theres techniques and things you can train to help a situation like this..similar to what i bet watson is getting schooled on this offseason..its mental things..recognizing what defenders will do to you, establishing a way to protect the football thats most comfortable to you...anticipating what the 1st and 2nd defender will do to you before it happens.. but I ve never played RB so it could be diff..but i think faulk could lend a helping hand or 2
