[QUOTE="Boomergump, post: 163463, member: 639"] I appreciate your enthusiasm, but I think 1000 yds is a tough ask. I am not at all worried about the psycological side to recovery from his leg fracture. However, ABs really don't get the carries necessary to compile those kinds of yards. 1000 yds combined rushing and receiving might even be a bit much to expect. Snoddy's speed is real and something to account for if you are in charge of the opposing defense. I have no doubt he will break some runs. I have no doubt he will outrun the secondary on occasion. However, he has some limitations that mitigate his speed and, to a certain extent, power. There is not as much wiggle there as some of our previous yardage gainers at the position, nor are there really soft hands receiving the ball. I would love to be proven wrong about this, but I would expect about 600 yds rushing and maybe 200 through the air. That would place him second or third in CPJ's tenure as an AB I believe. To be truthful, I am expecting a huge jump in the receiving department by ABs, as a group, this year. That may mean that Broderick is watching from the sideline some of the time. If you watch the film, ABs were ignored open last year running down the hash marks or on the wheel. JeT will learn watching the film and captitalize this season. I look for players like Searcy to make a huge impact because of their hands, speed, and body control. I love Snoddy and believe he will be a MAJOR part of our plans. However, 1000 yards are hard to deliver in a system where the direction of the play and who gets the ball are not determined when the play is sent in from the sideline. Let's hope he blocks hard and gets the most out of the opportunities to run the ball that he gets. AB is the ultimate team first, unselfish, position. Snoddy will fit right in. [/QUOTE]
