Love me some Zeus when he’s got some push but I think Mc has that innate ability to get the most out of his carries and see holes before they’re there. Wish we could have seen more of him tonight.

Curious to see Milton and Evans as well.

I agree, but Zeus is also coming off an injury. He'll be much better next season. The real one to question is Cook. I'm not sure where he fits in.

Milton and Evans are the plan.

Zeus showed some lateral scoots tonight. He’ll only get better.

He must be a liability in pass pro or ball protection in practice. Only explanation why he didn’t get more opportunities.

He has that violent cut that Zues is missing still ( and I think he will get it back) that we have been accustomed to. Looking forward to what they can both do next year

I'd like to see him as a slot receiver. He isn't super fast but he can get open and runs well in the open.

No Zeus will only get better. He is our #1. He still recovering from those injuries. Look at Chubb 4 years removed from a worse setback.

Zeus is a punishing back. He relishes contact and has the size to really beat up on defenders. He will continue to regain his agility and will be our lead back next year.

McIntosh is the tail-back people want Cook to be.

Zeus and McIntosh just don’t have the 0-60 speed that the other great backs like Michel and Swift or even Chubb have had. That will always be their biggest limiting factor.

You could leave one man free on a stretch run with Michel or Swift because they could turn on the speed and beat them to the corner. Zeus and McIntosh can’t do that nearly as well.

If he is we're in trouble.

McIntosh ain't the answer at RB and Zeus has got to get
better.

Cook is still our most talented option without Swift.

Zues will be fully healthy for the first time for us next year. We haven’t seen the kid in his best version of himself yet.

Zues seemed to get better as the game went along. I love that. I like Macintosh, but don’t see him as a starter, but good enough to be in a 4 man rotation we seem to have.

Zeus did get lathered up yesterday. That's a great sign.

I won't pretend to know who the alphas are next season. It was supposed to be a great defense that we faced last night and we had our best game since Florida. I'm just content with the win.

At the end of the day, our 2nd string beat the #7 team in the country.

That's what everybody keeps saying and I hope to God it's true.His speed and vision are a pretty big concern
right now.
