I'm sick and tired of getting what's left over after these types of players are picked up. These guys are monsters in the back field. Not only do we need a QB, we need a BIG bruiser in the back field.

When they showed highlights of the state championship between Taylor/Henry, Henry was a whole head taller than Taylor. Now he has twice the muscle and better talent. What gives when it comes to this position and Florida?

Next year, the RB position will be loaded.

Scarlett
Cronkrite
Thompson

Wouldn't hurt for our offensive line to learn more effective blocking *cough* holding *cough* techniques.

The last bruiser we had that I can recall was.........? Eric Rhett? Jeez we need a power back. As to what gives? One word Moosechump, that's what happened.

Gillislee was kind of a bruiser/speed hybrid.

That 2012 season would've gone into the shitter if it wasn't for him and Jordan Reed.

As far as Henry, thank ol Champster for blowing that. Wanted to make him a linebacker.

We have had capable backs. Taylor was the #1 RB coming out of high school his year only because Henry was rated as an ATH. But still Jones, Gillislee were both good backs the bad for them was they were playing in a Muschamp offense. Taylor has had a good year as well. Won us some games if not for his break away run at the end of the Carolina game we might not seal that deal. I agree however I want a little more thunder in my RB if we could find one.

Last big back was Ciatrick Fason # 4 who ran upright. We definitely need a power back who can block....Taylor is way too small...easy to tackle and looks like he has skates on when he tries to block DEs. Taylors father was much more built and filled out. Thats the sad truth.
We need 230 lb RB with speed.

Mark Thompson is 6'2" 230lb. We'll, hopefully, pick him up in the 2016 class

Not sure that equals loaded

Good backs but none have proven to be game changers

We need a great OL . That's what made those players so great. Our RBs are running into a brick wall . We haven't have good OL play in a long time . Taylor seem to play well this year but didn't have many holes to run in . We should be fine at RB next year . We need QBs K and OL the most . RB would be the last position I would worry about.

I agree
This Thompson guy has the size to be that kind of runner. The 2 Jordans have that ability too. I believe the "sick and tired" feeling begins to end next season, especially if we sign Franks and/or Eason

I'm not giving up on Scarlett yet either.

He's just a true freshman. When he finally gets it, he will be a problem.
