Sony
Chubb
Swift
Herrien
Holyfield



Agree with this order. Holyfield will likely move up in the ranks above Herrien due to his size and strength but we haven't seen enough of him to really know. We will find out soon enough next season after Chubb and Michel are gone. Swift looks like he's going to a good one but I am concerned that we are going to have a drop off next season at the RB position. No shocker there considering how good Chubb and Michel have been as a tandem.

I could see that...he could probably start later this year or next year at Notre Dame...which I think is where Evander wanted him to go.

Need to get Herrien in space or later in games running into gassed lines. That's where he sines. He seems special if he doesn't make too much contact. At least that's what I saw last year when he came in late in games. He would of killed it against Monroe last week if he would of run instead of little ROWK.

So he is only good at running against tired defenses?

I agree. You can't help but be concerned about a dropoff with Chubb/Sony leaving. That is such a high level of tailback that it is ridiculous.

Im sure we all feel like Swift is that same mold. But we will have to see. Some backs don't get better with 20+ touches lIke Chubb. 30 would be darned near impossible for most any back. Chubb and Sony are special.

No herrian seems to get more yards than he should on every single run. He never stops his legs

Let's say for the sake of argument that Swift is able to match Chubb's production next season; a tall order but Swift looks very good to me. Who is going to replace Michel's production? Objectively Holyfield and Herrien simply haven't shown me enough to have confidence that they can fill the void. Objectively, I feel that we are going to have to have a more balanced offense with the passing game filling that void.

Zeus and swift will be as good as any duo we have seen in recent years as soon as game 1 next year.

It is really more about the OL not being piss poor. If these big time recruits grow up and start playing well lesser backs may look better than Chubb and Michel and I am not sure Swift and Zeus are lesser backs.
