[QUOTE="vamosjackets, post: 35009, member: 216"] I agree with YallerJacket's and LongestDays' take. Although, I think Zenon showed good ability as a runner. We need the AB to maximize the yardage available to them by first of all picking the right path/lane to run. Seems like something to take for granted until you see our guys screwing up a good play by running right into a guy who should be blocked. It does no good for the TO to outnumber the defense when our runner makes it easy for the blocked defender to make a play on him. Zenon could do that. If a guy has special ability to make more out of a run than the defense is giving, that's some great icing on the cake - that would be guys like Godhigh, Smith, Allen. It seems to me that the best runners we've got would go like this: Special: Andrews (maybe Perkins) Adequate: Zenon, Hill, (maybe Perkins) Inadequate: Bostic, Days An X-factor here would be Wilson coming off of a redshirt. If we feel good about Laskey and Custis carrying the load at BB and Connors staying to provide that 3rd depth guy, then I wouldn't mind at all seeing a bruiser like Wilson staying and making noise at AB. Snoddy is also an X-factor. Of course, blocking and receiving are the hidden components and many of you have pointed that out. That's why Days is the favorite. But, I'm very down on him as a runner who doesn't maximize the yardage available. It's on the coaches to put these guys in a position to make the best use of what they're good at. You can't do that all the time or the defense can key on it, but you can do it most of the time. I'm hoping Andrews and Perkins take over the starting spots by becoming proficient blockers and continue to show special ability as outside runners. If not Perkins, then I'd pull for Hill or Wilson or maybe even Zenon over Days. I hope Days can continue to be utilized primarily as a blocker and perhaps a pass catcher. [/QUOTE]
