Impressed with Our Running Backs: Thoughts on Depth Chart?

Wright was awesome vs UVA, but let's get the guy more cardio so he stops tapping his helmet. If your OL isn't tapping out, you can't tap out either.

Our running backs are child like. So small. They did well against a terrible team but what about Bama or Georgia D lines? We don't have a bull dozer.

We're stacked, and I love it.

I’m sure he’ll get better as the season goes on. Gets his body used to the punishment and all that.

The only thing that stopped Wright being the dude was his fumbling, which he has corrected. Now, Sampson is auditioning pretty well for more carries himself. It's no longer 40-40-20.

I miss the big physical backs that I grew up watching. Those child like backs did almost put 200 yds on bammer last year though. I would love to see the norm of a 1-2 punch like a Seldon-Sampson backfield. A big back that will punish and wear down a defense and an all purpose back.

Sadly I don’t see much of a place for those types of backs in the SEC anymore. Defenses play so dang fast nowadays you need legit speed to hit the holes. Not like the old days when big bruiser RBs were at least faster than most of the defense. You got guys on D-lines that run 4.40 40s now.

I agree with that for the majority of college football. The teams that recruit at the highest level year in and year out can and will be successful with bigger backs if they choose to go that route. Jmo
