Brazil is going to be like Chris Johnson on his first year with the Titans. Speed to the corners.

In limited carries the last 2 years Blue is averaging 6.8ypc. I guess it was limited carries but it didnt feel like Hilliard averaged 5.7 last year. Not sure of splits or why it FELT like Hilliard was down last year... maybe the avg was padded in garbage time? Seems likely with Hill getting all the carries.

Anyway Blue, Hill, Hilliard, then McGee.

I agree with this........... IF Blue is NOT hurt last year..... We see very little of Hill..... THIS IS FACT.....................

I know Blue is a fan favorite but I don't get all the love for a player who stays injured. Blue runs inside and gets hurt. That pretty much sums up his LSU career. Hill has more carries in 1 year than Blue does and he is entering his senior year. Blue is also coming off of yet another injury. The way Les runs the ball inside I don't think Blue would make it to mid season if he were the feature back.

His injury last year occurred on the sideline.

Is getting arrested better than getting hurt?



according to some rantards yes. They say a freshman blowing a senior is nothing and maybe pretty awesome and punching a guy in the face and celebrating it is a manly thing to do. I wouldn't be surprised if some people are wondering why hill isn't rewarded for his actions.

Blue - injury = Heisman finalist.

Blue is a great back, but I don't know if he's better than Hill.

Because you've seen Hill play more recently. If Miles holds Jennings back for a year, Blue will win the Heisman.

I think both backs are great, but if healthy, I start Blue. I hope Hill gets a chance to play but if not that's tough.

I have confidence that Blue will seize any opportunity he gets. My only concern is his nearly year off.

Magee, if I recall correctly, really impressed this Spring. I hope he's ready to step up.

Either way, I really see us utilizing the RB pass more this year.

Actually, he has missed time in all of his 3 seasons due to injury. I don't necessarily think that means he is injury prone, but he has definitely been hurt more than once.

Surprising to see people so torn on who is better. They are both fricking good. It would be pretty nice to have both of them at full speed this season.
