I like Grant and Jackson for what they are, but it would be nice to have a back who can hit another gear when they reach the second level of the defense. Neither of our backs are like that. Grant is a nice one-cut back, but often can't win the battle around the corner of any defense, and when he reaches the second level of the defense, he often gets caught. He's tough, yes, but I'd love to see some speed and shiftiness at RB, and one who can catch the ball out of the backfield. Is it a greater need than OL? No. But, it is a need."Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts." -Daniel Patrick MoynihanComment

What's the Rats take on Toby Gerheart from Stanford?
He doesn't have the speed of a Spiller, but he has a brute force factor that is cool.
(over 200 yds vs. ND) He ran over ND defenders on that last drive like they were speed bumps.-digital dean

ND has one of the worst rushing defenses in the nation*, but I like Gerhart even though he's probably going to have a short career. He's not a first round guy, but he could be a 2nd round guy.Originally posted by digitaldean
*I was surprised that Notre Dame Quarterback Jimmy Clausen got assaulted last week, since if you're going to punch any Notre Dame player, you'd be best off hitting one of their LBs, since they're less likely to hit you back.</delurk>Comment

Yes, I agree the ND rushing D was pretty rancid.
Gerhart has made a lot of Pac-10 defenses look bad though.
He may last as long as Earl Campbell who would rather run through thatn around people.-digital dean

Pac-10 defenses make Pac-10 defenses look bad. They don't need anybody to do it for them.Comment

Gerhardt is nothing more than Touchdown Tommy Vardell...
Won't do anything in the NFL... he's a white running back, come on.

Mardy Gilyard, WR Cincinnatti, Is going to make some NFL team very happy next year. Kid is a freak. He reminds me of a bigger/strong DeSean Jackson."I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious." - Vince LombardiComment

Spiller puts up 233 on 20 carries today. Good looking back.Originally posted by 3irty1Comment

and he's been hurt all yearOriginally posted by Zool
i also watched ingram yesterday. indram seems to run hard through big giant holes that his line is making for him. it seemed pretty fitting that they compared him to emitt smith
spiller or the other hand is more like barry sanders. if a hole isn't there, he'll find another way to get yards
ingram seems to me like a guy you can find anywhere, spiller seems pretty special
of course i also thought reggie bush would be special tooComment

The difference between Bush and Spiller is the supporting cast. Bush played with a bunch of all-american candidates.Originally posted by redOriginally posted by 3irty1Comment

True, but Bush was also the much, much, much better college player as a result. Maybe not yardage wise because there is a finite number of yards a team is going to rack up, but I've never seen a college player in the past 10 years that was as crazy quick/fast/explosive as Bush.Originally posted by Zool
Peterson was the best running back but Bush was the best athlete.
That said, I have a firm "No Clemson Players" rule to supplement my "No Babies" rule. Not interested in a player from Clemson.Comment
