I really hope the coaches work Blue as a WR some in the Spring and see if he can do it. If J. Hill as truly the guy the coaches think he is then he needs to be on the field. Blue was our most improved player last year and is a stud who has the body to play outside as a physical receiver.

Rather than seeing Blue get like 3 carries a game I would love to see him get a lot of snaps at a position of need for us and have our BEST talent on the field (assuming Blue can adapt to the position)

I didn't watch every game of their high school but from what I saw in High school I would have said Hill was the more complete running back. Hilliard is a man and proved he can play right away but physically Hill is also a beast and is powerful, has great vision and also can run away from people

I love me some Hilliard, but I agree. Everyone seems to think Hill > Hilliard. Hard to believe, but if so, add to the embarrassment of riches!

Except Hill outgained him 2:1 in that game.

Has anyone seen Jeremy lately ? Did he stay in shape ?

I agree with all of this. And also trying my boy Blue at WR. He's so good with the ball in his hands.

Did Hill not have a small fumbling problem in HS?

When all of your backs have size, speed, balance, and catching ability, the differentiation will depend on ball security and especially blocking.

Juking and/or running over tacklers comes naturally to some. Blocking, pickup up a blitz, and chipping DE's on the way out for a pass; these are the things that make a complete back and earns a starting nod.

I hope Blue gets a look at punt/kickoff returner.

I'm not a fan of redshirting RBs, but I really don't understand why Magee didn't redshirt. He played almost none. With no significant injuries to any of our RBs, I'm not sure why Magee played at all.


As far as Blue goes, I don't think he's moving. He's very versatile at RB and we have a lot of WRs on the roster. Not a whole lot of experience, but any of them would have more than Blue, so I'm not sure how him moving solves any kind of need at that position.

From what I've seen, Miles uses the fastest available player for kick returns. I don't know if Blue qualifies.

I'd look for one of the young DB's or young WR's to fill the spots left vacant by Brooks & Claiborne. It's possible that Shepard fills a spot.

I see either Blue or Magee transferring if Hill is as good as advertised.

People forget that Hill was running behind L Collins. Hilliard was running behind nobody of note.

Would really hate to see this happen, but I concur. I would think Blue would try a position change first, rather than transfer though.

I totally agree with your comments on Blue. The needs more touches per game and he could get that at WR position.
