re: Midseason RB Prediction: John Emery Jr. and Tre Bradford will be the bell cows

Goodwin is out there still wearing a knee brace apparently. While it may be just precautionary, not really a great sign.


They know what they have with a few guys and my guess is they are the first 4 into the game. I don't think anyone is good enough to be a feature back but they know:

Josh Williams can handle 3rd downs

Noah Cain is reliable in short yardage/goalline

Emery has the potential to break open the game

Diggs capable everydown back. Slashing type, plays well out of shotgun and in passing game. Nice pair with Daniels & what they want to do.

Armoni they know when fully healthy can be a rotation back.

Bradford is break glass if necessary. However if he proves to be a different dude, he will get his carrier. He looks to be in great physical shape

Frehsmen all into that same category. If one of them forces your hand, you play them if they can help you win. Otherwise they should be able to be comfortably put on ice.

Whichever back moves the chains will get the most action

I think a lot of people are sleeping on Logan Diggs and Goodwin. We are absolutely stacked at RB & WR this year. I don't care if we share the workload/love at all. Just win baby

I don’t see it with Emery. He will be a part of the offense for sure but you have to limit his touches. His ball security issues go back to high school and I don’t see how one offseason where he wasn’t even fully with the team is going to fix it.

Design 6-8 plays a game for him and hope one will be a great play that only he could do like the Alabama game last year.

If Williams and Diggs are healthy I could see them getting the bulk of the playing time. Both are complete backs and per BK both are 3 down backs. Meaning they know they’re blocking assignments and can execute them. That’s just my prediction. It could very well be Cain and Emery being the bell cows.

Noah Cain will have at least 10 TDs by mid-season.

Bad take baw.

Josh Williams is solid and we know what he brings to the table. But the question that no one here can answer, unless they can see the future, is which one or ones if any of the many other running backs on the team are going to break out this season. You could make a case for any of them, from the freshman Holly and Jackson, to the transfers Diggs and Bradford, or one of the returning backs Cain, Emery, or Goodwin. You got to expect at least one or two of those backs to have break out years. There's just too many of them there with that kind of potential.
