[QUOTE="Boomergump, post: 35131, member: 639"] Thanks for the write up. I was going to do my last looking ahead for the AB group, but I guess it is better to tack on here. First off, I want to wish Roobie Godhigh well. I want nothing but the best for that young man. Perseverance is such a great quality. I think Synjin is poised for a good year. He is a great blocker, first and foremost, but he is also a pretty versatile player. He can do some things in the receiving game even though he was a bit of an untapped resource in 2013. Oddly enough, running out in space, in the east-west direction, isn't really in his wheelhouse. He can make some good cuts and jumps in traffic when he needs to, but his default mode seems to be going airborne prematurely. It is a bad habit because it can render you defenseless to all kinds of ball jarring hits. He would be better served keeping his body low and his feet on the ground using his appreciable size to pound for yards with the ball better protected. I like him better between the tackles, but I wonder if the ball security issues he had were incompatible with the QB MESH etc. I really like him when he gets his shoulders turned square up field. He just needs to get himself in that position more often. I am pretty sure he will be in the rotation. Perkins was the beneficiary of more open grass last year than anybody. This made him look like a champ. Charles is a decent player, but I think he will find himself with about the same level of impact next year, despite RG's departure. I like having him back because he is a great person with a lot of heart and character and because he will not be a big step down from the top three. Deon Hill is the Tevin Washington of ABs. The sum of his parts is pretty effective overall, but he won't really light it up in any one phase or "wow" you in any way. I think he will find himself in the top 3 because of his consistency and reliability. He is a worker and underrated because of the lack of flash. I am glad his health issues have been figured out. Hopefully, with that impediment removed we can look forward to a productive season. Andrews, to me, has the look of a breakout kind of player. He has the potential to be electric and the attitude to be a motivated blocker. I think he is a good instinctive runner with enough speed and wiggle to really hurt you. I like him as a receiver, runner, and blocker. He won't be the most physical guy we have at the position, but he will be the most explosive. He will benefit the most from another year in the system. He makes top 3 in my book. I have no idea about Zenon or Bostic. Two years ago Bostic ran like his hair was on fire. Last year he couldn't figure out the correct side of blockers to run on. I don't get it. I have always liked him more than Zenon, in every phase, but 2014 was just a downer for him. I want to think he will get his head back on straight, but I just don't know. Competition is getting better. He needs to get better. [/QUOTE]
