At first I was worried we would miss Holyfield’s ability to end every play by falling forward 5 yards.


I’m watching highlights from last year, and I realized Brian Herrien is more than capable of that. Dude gets a ton of yards after contact.


I also think that Kenny McIntosh can be that guy in the future.

McIntosh will be 5th string this year and hopefully redshirt.

If there’s one thing I’m not remotely worried about right now it’s our running game. Crazy to think that we had guys like Brandon Harton and JJ Green start games for us this decade.

Herrien's problem in the past IMHO has been vision... he gets yards after contact because he almost seeks it out... rather than trying to elude/evade it, he just tries to find the spot where he can eke out any positive yardage... It makes him almost never a homerun threat, but definitely a good "make lemonade out of lemons" sort of back...

My hope is that in the off-season he's spent a lot of time watching film and getting better at this aspect of the game. If so, he really could have a big impact in his last year. I've always been a fan, from recruitment to now... would love to see him have a big year and maybe get picked up as a late draft pick or UDFA.

while we dont know what Zeus is going to be, between Swift, BH, and Cook I am not worried. Anything Zeus can do will be a bonus

This will be the third time I make this preseason prediction and I really hope it comes true this year.
Brian Herrien Goes the frick off this season. 1,000+ yard rusher.

So for 2020 (assuming Swift is gone) our backfield looks like this:

Zamir White
James Cook
Kenny McIntosh
Kendall Milton

That’s pretty good and it assumes we don’t add anyone else this class (which I think we will)

When we’re reaching the point that our 4th string RB in 2017 goes pro early after 2018, we’re starting to create the talent watermill Kirby was looking for.
