No matter who gets the call at the venerable QB position (another topic altogether!), together with being loaded at the runnin back spot, I foresee more of a ground game next year. I can't believe CW will have a rookie QB jack up as many passes as BQ did in the past 2 yrs. If I am right, let's hope the O Line comes up big!!!

I definitely see us morphing into a running team next year. It will be a refreshing change.

no weis will stick to his passing strategy and make a star out of his starting QB.

I hope Weis will do what it takes to win... I hope he wouldn't be so stubborn as to sacrifice winnable games for the sake of sticking to his passing strategy and making his QB a star overnight. Having a running game would be a nice break for a young QB. It would take pressure off of him so he can better develop and in a season or two become a star.

Nope, he will throw it all the time still. Which I love to see.

I love to see it too, if it's working. I don't love to see it if it means seeing a bunch of sacks, interceptions and incomplete pass... and losses. I know passing is his best bet, but I would think that he would be smart enough to switch to more running if that was going to help him win.

The unknowns are what makes 2007 even more interesting than 2006. Depth chart, schemes, positions, etc, are all up in the air. Even with a few losses this year, its going to be fun to watch.

I think the proper statement for next year will be, "You think we run too many screen plays now????"

Hopefully the speed coming in will help on punt and kickoff return also. That clip was great. There is another clip on uhnd.com that is pretty nice as well.

after watching that video, I don't know why anyone actually kicked to him. especially twice like UM and UT seem to have.

did prince ever return kicks in high school? I think he might be good too. and really, grimes had a few nice ones, as did west, I don't think they're handing over the job just yet... we just need some blocking for them.

I really don't remember any above average KRs by either Grimes or West. That should change this year....

Grimes did have 1 50+ yarder, I believe against UNC. and he had a few other decent ones. but yea, I agree that there wasn't much. but how much of that was the blocking and how much of that was the returner?

I agree the blocking was suspect, but i guess i want to see more acceleration and breakaway speed

yea, I'd like to see that too. I'd say we were lacking in both regards last year, and it would be nice to be lacking in neither catetgory this year... especially after watching that rocket video.
