Very happy about this. Bryant and Hood will be a good tandem in the future. I hope Mahone and Folston figure it out too. I am not sold on GAIII at all.

Anyone see Schurburt's tweet talking about the elite ND rb's from these last two classes? He predicted Folston to be the best between the three of Folston, Bryant, and Hood.

IMO, GAIII doesn't run like a 'RB', he runs like a track athlete. We use the theory 'well football speed and track speed are totally different' to justify when an opponent has a super speedy recruit or player... Well, IMO, this is what we have in GAIII. It's just not natural for him. He doesn't run low, he doesn't finish runs with a RB's mentality, and he's does not make quick cuts (quick cuts are the 'football speed' for a RB).

This is not for a lack of motivation. By all accounts, GAIII is a very hard worker, but it's an innate ability that he does not have IMO.

I agree with you, fwiw.

Why the contempt (or at least the use of a contemptuous reference)? GAIII is a project at RB. We don't need a project a running back. We need someone who runs at pad level down hill. I like his attributes when he is on the edge but inside he needs a huge hole to run through. Those will not always be there.

With all the size we will be putting on the field at TE and WR, we need an inside brusier to soften up the middle. I don't think GAIII is that guy. I hope, but do not think.

I begged and pleaded for him to be moved to safety before last season, but oddly enough BK didn't listen. I understand that he was out of place playing safety in the Army All-American game, but it's a LOT easier to play safety than RB IMO. Like RB, he has the size and speed to be an All-American Safety. Anyways, too late for that now.

Contempt? I was just trying to sound "Shakespearian!" Like "Me doth think she protests too much." You know like some guys did on a thread a few weeks ago. I would never intentionally instult someone. There is no isult in talking like Shakespeare and saying now that we have a$$kicking running backs coming in GAIII has all the motivation he needs to motor.

At least I didn't say something like; "Thou venomed clapper-clawed devil-mon! Draw your neck out of your collar. [May] the worm of conscience still begnaw thy soul." That would have been an insult!

ps. "Sirrah" was how a "knight" or a nobile was addressed in bygone times.

Bogs, I never have any idea what you're talking about, but you remember when you and others ripped on me for going to the play 'King Lair' and having no idea what was going on? Well, history repeated itself, as I went to another Shakespear play yesterday 'Midsummer Dreams'. It was a lot better, but I didn't understand the ending.

Big K, buddy!

I don't ever remember ripping you ever! I remember teasing you a bit, as in Gadzooks, man, culture yourself! But only lighthearted shiit.

Nobody understands me, not even me. This is the way it has to be, or the truth could get out.

The ending was all you didn't get was the ending?

PS. It is Lear and nobody gets A Midsummer Night's Dreams! (It's a dream = fantasy.)

I meant ripping in a friendly manner. Well, there were two girls (Amelia and another??? Forgot their names already). One was to wed some guy, and the other was in love with 'Demetrius'. Well, Demetrius didn't want the 'leftover' girl, and so the leftover girl went chasing him through the Forrest and the story... I THINK a spell was cast, and it turned out that Demetrius became in love with the girl who he previously hated, and then she no longer liked him. In fact, she despised him. Somehow, she ends up with guy #1, where Demetrius ends up with Amelia? Maybe I didn't understand as much as I thought, lol.

That is quite remarkably brilliant. Things change with time . . . once you are not caught up in the moment. Great job keeping up with it alll! Back to the thread . . .

Sorry. I understood sirrah to be akin to "boy" or "son." Please forgive the misunderstandings.

"Would the fountain of Mine mind were clear again, that I might water an *** at it." (pardon the liberty i just took)

I didn't know he currently is in a Wing-T offense. From his tape as well as that article, I can't imagine it would be too hard for him to transition. He's a freak athlete and his cuts in some of those videos are absurd.

I mean, if that 4.5 laser is legit, at 220lbs and the fact that he runs with tenacity, it's ridiculous to me that this guy isn't a consensus 5-star back. This guy is a Ron Dayne with speed IMO.
