I'll kick my neighbor....usually it would be his dog...but i believe the smell from the ditch may signal that....someone else has taken care of that problem....either way, we cant have someone that slow and lumpy running for us, if your gonna be slow, you must have power, i didnt see any of that.

I liked the look of Cunningham actually. From what I've seen he cant be any worse than Richardson can he??

Are we ascertaining this from his kick returns? If so Pead must never touch the ball lol

Where do u get that he's slow? I don't understand that, and the kid hasn't had 1 opportunity to show his power speaking that hes being tackled the second he gets the ball. I think your anger should be with the Oline, not the Undrafted rookie that has come in and beat out the other backs for there spot

To this point;

Richardson still has that burst. But with his injury and small frame, I'm not sure he's the long term answer as a starter.

Pead; I believe he is the most complete package on this roster right now. He's probably our best option as the lead back.

Stacy; I believe has the highest ceiling as a lead back. But, he's not proved it to the coaches or on game day. So, the jury is out.

Cunningham; I like him. But I don't see anything in his game to get excited about. I'm not being rude, just he's average to good at most attributes from what my eyes see. I very well could be wrong, that's happened before.

I can get on board with that.
Stacy is built like a brick shit house, so I wouldn't mind seeing him get a closer look.

I would like to see the combination for Pead/Stacy going forward, but I would also like to see Barrett Jones & Tim Barnes in for Wells & Dahl.

Need to replace Williams first.

I don't disagree, however, Williams has graded out far better in run blocking than Wells or Dahl, but if you wanted to put Smith in for Williams, WTH?

He's the most powerful runner we got (speaking of Stacy). I like that aspect, particularly in an environment where the runner may not be getting gapping holes. He's capable of breaking the arm tackle on small holes.

He's also not just a power runner, ala SJ.

But, until we see it on the field it's all conjecture.

I'm with you on Stacy.
I think there just going to rotate them all till they get what they want.

Cunningham got damn near all the carries 2 weeks ago, i can't blame the line for the entire game. He didn't even break a single one, his lack of speed is obvious, and I haven't yet seen him break a tackle. I really like what Pead brings as far as athleticism,
But he hasn't laid down anything to show he can do it consistently. I would really like to get a good look at Stacy. Anyone who can lead the SEC in rushing, can't be that damn bad.

And for the record, I'm still a Richardson guy, I think it's his injury that is stopping things

Richardsons not a 3 down back. He's a change of pace guy. He played that role perfectly last year yet as soon as he's been asked to carry the load he cant get it done.
