[QUOTE="Boomergump, post: 235835, member: 639"] I will always be thankful for Broderick's contributions. His pluses were a great burst of speed and decent physicality for a guy his size. His minuses were a lack of wiggle, running instincts, or soft hands. I have never seen Nathan carry a football ever, so I am totally unqualified to judge. I will say this, however: A guy who was inside the program, with a lifetime of football experience, who I trust completely when it comes to player evaluation, told me that Cottrell had the job won before he got hurt. That is after two weeks on campus, TOTAL. He was THAT impressive. Take it for what it is worth. We can appreciate the contributions of Clinton and Ike last year, but if the truth be told, there was a lack of electricity going on at AB. Nobody who played past the first few games was running anywhere near sub 4.4. We had trouble getting any yards past those that were blocked, if that makes sense. With the guys in the mix right now, all being healthy, we are looking at a major lift at that position. Qua is fast and slicker than snot with good hands and body control. Lynn is agile and very physical for his size. He can extend runs and make extra yards. I hear JJ is pretty good from leg humper fans. If Nate is what they say, then last year's kids are going to have a hard time getting on the field. There is no substitute for blinding speed and running instincts. If plays are typically blocked for 4 yards, we need some of those turned into 40 by superior athletes. We also need super fast ABs running wheel routes, or seam routes, stretching the defense. I don't know how it is going to shake out, but I look forward to watching it unfold. [/QUOTE]
