[QUOTE="Longestday, post: 34977, member: 402"] Days is a good to great blocker and is now the best ABack blocker on the team. He and Smelter smash defensive players. When running, he leaves his feet on contact a lot of the time. He had a great spring game in hard running through defenders and receptions. In 2013 games he had a tendency to "jump" when anticipating contact or loose footing. The game footage showed defenders on the ground when blocking, but stats show his running was flawed or he had a lot of bad luck. Hill blocks well and runs good. He does not have the vision or wiggle that Godhigh showed. I have seen him try to run between our guy and Defensive back a few times. He has several good receptions. I like Hill... I don't think he can be a Godhigh or Smith replacement. Andrews showed some blocking ability and good vision on his runs. I hope we invest in this young man over playing players that have reached their ceiling. His limited stats point to being a good runner. I don't have a lot of information on Perkin's ability to block. He does run well after contact on the edge. Perkin's seems like he could be a faster Days that can keep his feet on the ground when running. His limited stats also point to being a good runner. Snoddy showed improvement in 2013. I was very critical of those who drooled over his speed because the speed did not transfer to yards on the field in 2012. His want to increased in 2013 and he had several good runs out of the diamond. I don't know his blocking skills, but I think he could continue to improve on the run. He still has issues on catching the ball. Bostic is a good/great receiver, is inconsistent when blocking, and has difficulty with vision and yards after contact. Zenon had some good runs in earlier 2012, but he disappeared. I thought he was injured, but I also heard he was in CPJ's dog house. We really need that 9 yard per carry average guy. I hope we can field one in 2014. What is vision and wiggle in a 6 foot 200 lbs back that can and is willing to block... the ideal ABack. Orwin and Godhigh proved that speed was not the critical need in an ABack... Timing and wiggle go a long way in this position. [/QUOTE]
