[QUOTE="Madison Grant, post: 514906, member: 823"] The part about the B-backs is true. The single back set will require a lot more vision, patience and cutting than the 'hit the hole quick' B-back role. But, like I said, that's not to say the B-backs we have can't be [I]coached and trained[/I] to run in a different style. It's too bad Kirvonte Benson has the injury he does and is questionable because I think he can be that tailback type runner. As for the A-backs, I agree. I actually think some guys like Jarrett and Gantt, who've shown hands in the Spring Game, can work as slot receivers. The A-backs who can't catch the ball will be in trouble, IMO. Even a 3rd down back has the role of having to catch screens, etc. And pass-protect blocking, basically catching a DE coming at you 90 mph is a lot difference than edge-blocking in the option. Not saying one is harder than the other, just they're different skills that will have to be coached and learned. [/QUOTE]
