[QUOTE="redmule, post: 117485, member: 1338"] Y'all act like the A back is in a vacuum. This is a system. Right now, we have the best OL in a generation. All but one come back, and we have depth there. Of course injuries and whatever can affect that, but there's also the possibility they get better. We have a tremendous option qb. As the year progressed, he ran the ball less and got it to the right man more. And he's got a very good arm that keeps safeties and corner backs honest. IMHO, the problem we had with edge blocking a couple of years back began with the patched up OL. Throw in a weak armed qb, and plenty of defenders could flow to the edges. Johnson and Thomas (sounds like a law firm) and this OL will create plenty of openings. The good OL means that JT gets the time to execute the option without being blown up in the backfield. Of course we need blocks from the A Backs, but the speed that Thomas and Snoddy will put on the edge means blocking will be easier for whomever fills those slots. I rewatched the Pitt game today. Snoddy has learned how to hit a crease and accelerate thru it. We haven't had anything like him since Tony Hollings or even Eddie Lee Ivery. Boomer was right, tacklers bounce off him because he's moving so fast. If his mind is right when he comes back from the leg injury, we will see something special next year. [/QUOTE]
