IMO Mahone becomes the feature back next year.

I agree about GA III. I try to picture what kind of back he can be. He's great in space with his speed but he doesn't seem to have a lot of lateral movement. His cuts seem soft and one dimensional which makes it hard for him without holes to run through.

I don't know if that is a skill that can be improved upon, some of you may know. I can picture him being a 235lb bruiser with great speed if he's willing to go low and hard. His speed with that mass and strength would really fill a hole in our group that we lost with the departure of Gray.

They lie all the time on height and weight.

Rewatch the Miami game, look at Cam next to Tommy Rees.

Not saying it's impossible because Theo is a smaller guy too, but I wouldn't count on it.

And GA3 is a fast guy that they are trying to make into a RB.

You hit the proverbial nail. Hitting the holes and reading the blocks could be from a lack of experience. He does need to learn how to lower his level when he hits the hole.

I wouldn't be suprised to see Cam push for the number one spot, simply because he runs through contact so well. I like to think of Cam's running style as VIOLENT. In limited opportunities, it seemed like he was stiff-arming/shoving a DB off of him while still going full speed, and was busting through the line taking what he could get first and foremost. And the more I think about it, the more he reminds me of Riddick.

Riddick has gotten the bulk of the carries because he embraces contact better than Cierre, and because he is versatile in his ability to play receiver. If the coaching staff likes what they see from Cam's ability as a pass catcher, the RB competition will truly be a four-way battle that goes down to the wire.

In regards to Amir -- Michael Floyd was "injury prone" after his fresh and soph season too... they happen and you recover

So what was the original news on Bryant? Is he visiting? Are we visiting him?

Hopefully both. Alford is paying him a visit this week and Bryant wants to come up for a visit, as well.
