'15 NC RB Bryce Love

As anti numbers talk as ive been im sorry to say that i almost agree with the talk regarding love. take him OR reid. not both. ppl say were thin at rb with how unproven our young guys are but even if some of those guys get hurt or we're plagued by injury next year we still have enough athletes finally to have other options i mean push come to shove weve got some guys with rb experience (albeit highschool). Jrm, kelly jr and elliot berry could all be serviceable there if needed. kelly especially, honestly i feel like he could be like the rb at fsu that started out as a safety and exploded when he switched to offense. Watch kellys film he could be nasty if he carried the rock. Hopefully none of that has to happen but were finally blessed with the athleticism to fill in if needed.

TKjr is no Los at RB. Best option would be Evan Berry. We NEED RBs, 6 actual RBs would be nice to have on the roster. Kelly Jr. doesn't look like an offensive player to me at all. Evan Berry yes, TKjr NO......

Obviously hes a hell of a safety but with his build and athleticism he could be a great runner. Just rewatch his highlights. he was special with the ball in his hands.

as far as 6 rbs

hurd
paulk
scott
reid /love
kamara

plus we still have pig as a situational runner. the oldest in that group will be a soph next year. 5 is enough. Take the NC kid next year and roll into 2016 with 6 dudes.

I've watched him more than a few times. He no where near a college RB. What are you watching(no sarcasm)? He doesn't have the RB footwork or explosive speed through the hole. He has great athleticism at safety but not at RB.

He just seemed very explosive to my untrained eyes. Il be honest i never considered footwork nor do i have the skill to judge things like that lol he just seems like the type of kid that could be a playmaker at several positions

Not at all. It's discussion of the numbers and everything that entails. If the discussion causes you or anyone else issues, you don't have to participate. I don't force anyone to contribute if they choose not to. :good!:

Discussion is a good thing. Where it begins to NOT be a discussion, IMO, is when it decays into pointless, on an on an on, back and forth bickering over OPINIONS.. Give opinions, make points and move on...

At this point even the staff isn't 100% sure how things will shake out.. They have a plan, a good one IMO, but plans are fluid especially when dealing with teenagers..

The gifs on the other hand are AWESOME..

I love VolNation!!

Carry on..

I usually do move on. Then it is brought back up and I comment again. Then it is brought up again and I comment again. I don't think being consistent is really a fault. If the same questions and or opinions were not asked/given over and over, getting the same answer /opinion over and over would probably not be an issue. :thumbsup:

The very same thing plays out in so many threads, because the very same questions are asked in so many threads. For example. Someone asks "is this kid a take"? From here this plays out 2 ways usually. Either everyone says yes, and the "keep it all positive" crowd does it's little dance or when someone like myself says "No", then it's the same ole "numbers BS again". It may have nothing to do with "numbers", yet that is the thing to complain about these days. I say let them complain. As long as they are complaining about me, they are leaving someone else alone. :)

Now LV, I never took you as a martyr.. JK 😉

Wasn't my intention to pick on you and other than your tendency to 'fan the flames' a bit, I've always considered you a respectful poster..

I try to make a point to avoid the personal attacks. It's a message board, it's nothing personal. :good!:

I know that I may get blasted by this but I think it may not be a Reid vs. Love position. I think that we are looking for another RB for insurance purposes.

1) Paulk is unable to come back full strength
2) RB academic casualties - I would like to hear what Karmara's progress is at JC and if he will be able to make it in next January. The reason for concern here is that Bama said several times that he was in the doghouse for not going to class. Just want to know how he can make all of that up and still get in early.
3) If it is Love vs. Reid and only one of them were able to EE then we would take the EE and tell the other to look around.
4) The staff does seriously consider moving Jalen Hurd to another position.

All of this is just speculation but real concerns.

My nephew plays for Chattanooga Baylor. They played Webb last year early in the season. TK played on both sides of the football. He's a big, strong kid so he had a few nice runs --- but he didn't dominate the field. At safety, though, he's a headhunter. I saw my nephew after the game and he said the Baylor players talked about it on the sideline. "Nobody wanted to get hit by Kelly".

That's why he's at safety.

I agree Hurd will be played all over the field. Not just RB.

Don't get your hopes up too much about this. One of his biggest reasons for coming to UT was because they offered him the ability to play the position he loves. So he won't be moved out of the backfield too much more than any other RB is.

How many positions did McFadden play? Dickerson? Walker? Derrick Henry? Hurd is a RB and that is all he will play. This is college not HS football.

Mcfadden is a bad example since he did it all lol he was super versatile. i think he even threw like 7 tds.

I don't think Hurd will ever be listed at another position, but I would guess that Butch will slide him out to receiver from time to time when defensive personnel are set to stop the run, just to see if a linebacker can cover him on a post route. When he was recruited, it was clear that he was athletic enough to play safety or receiver as well, but we are building a lot of talent at those positions now, so the chances of a change are even less.

You'll see Dormady out at wideout catching screens. That was one of Brendan Kay's oddest highlights when Butch was at Cincy.

Yep. Pretty sure Butch has a jump pass stashed in the ole playbook as well, which I'm sure people wouldn't be too excited to see.

What if it's called to beat UF this year- the team that got so many people with that play? Can you imagine Coach Jones calling a jump pass to secure a first down to run out the rest of the clock to win the game? I'd be damn excited to see that.
