First Wes I expect your participation. with that out of the way lets go over our RB situation. Lane seems to be the guy who will get the first big look I would think. Who else helps us here and do we think we keep improving at this position or do we regress? Also for Ryan who could be our best options for the class of 14 to come in as a big time RB. As usual I will hang up and listen
Edit: Missed Que leaving the team..WHERE was I

Could QUE be a star and we just not know it yet? As usual I will hang up and listen

Not Ryan but que left the team so no break out there. I personally feel Neal would be the better choice with lane as a backup. Neal has the speed and before he got hurt he was running hard. He still needs to work on vision but he should improve there too.
JALEN HURD!

JALEN HURD! Enough said

I agree. Here's to hoping we sign 3 highly rated OL to help pull him in. If we get 3 great OL and Hurd, we'll have a championship offense within 3 years.
The Legacy Guys + The Norcross Trio to go with Vereen, Carr, JRM, and Sutton is what we need to have a championship defense.
Convincing Hurd to be part of a rebuilding project rather than playing for an existing contender will be difficult. I'm so use to losing to Urban Meyer, that I expect him to get Hurd. Urban Meyer... the man that broke Tennessee. END THE TREND JALEN!!

Well, the top 2 backs on our roster seemed to make some pretty good strides last year... maybe it wasn't the runningbacks that were the problem. Coaching could come to mind.

Well I also do not think they are Elite. We had a nice rushing game this past season. Much improved I think due to the staff. More importantly Jay Graham

I am pretty sure Lane was considered elite coming out of high school.
