I think he is getting there for sure. Kinda crazy that our 4th string RB could be our best bet.
Yes. Some of it is play calling. Some of it is a condensed defense. Some of it is just lacking the ability to win the LOS against anyone.
There are none and that is one of the problems. Some slightly better than average WR's at best, below average QB's and very, very average RB's. Plus a below average Oline.
Nate Swift, Mike McNeill, Todd Peterson, , Brandon Kinnie, Niles Paul or even Tim Marlowe would be nice to have. These were from 08-09.
He is on the small size. Not the best characteristic to have in the red zone.
We don’t appear to have one DCs are taking Fidone out of play and Boerkircher is injured. Our freshmen WRs are just so raw and not great at getting past that 5 yard contact zone.
Tim Marlowe? The guy had 16 receptions for 167 yards in his entire career.
Same deal for Kemp. Need a Kinnie or Enunwa in the redzone. Imagine Junior Miller at TE. That man was HUGE. Ran in to him and Devaney outside South Stadium when I was at NU. Could not believe how big Junior was. He looked like an OT. Ginormous hands. Nice guy.
Has a bit of a Pacheco style imo. More weight room time and who knows.
Cub, I am as baffled as anyone about our RB rotation. And, I think that EJ can be a decent to good back. But the reality is that he is listed as a 5'11 190 lb? Freshman. How many carries can he handle prior to death or turnover (which he has been prone to (turnovers not death
)? As with most of the skill guys presently. He is young/inexperieced. Give him some time.
I would like to see him get some back to back carries without rotating out during the course of the game.

The Good news about Grant is he is a pretty good runner if he gets past the LOS. The Bad news is he often doesn't get past the LOS. EJ is a better runner.
The hardest running back I’ve seen play this year was that walk on when we were killing the clock in that game. NW?Cub, I am as baffled as anyone about our RB rotation.

There’s been that but consistency in routes and physicality has been lacking too. We NEED a big nasty sticky handed dude like Purify.
