[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 30086, member: 265"] I thin we need to wait on Custis and take some of the pressure off. He's got plenty to learn since he hasn't even practiced, let alone played, in our O. That and that he is also talented is why I think Laskey starts and - I hope - has a big year. Looking at Custis's high school films makes me think more of Allen then Dwyer. However, if he could get one of Dwyer's greatest traits down he would be a much better back almost at once. Dwyer was never as fast as people said, but he knew how to do one thing very, very well: he knew how to quit juking and run straight down field at his top speed. Some of our backs drive me crazy with their constant attempts to get to the sideline or juke people at the 2nd level. Dwyer was like Daniels in that he got his shoulders square and took off. If someone was in the way, don't juke, run over him. (Luckily, he didn't [I]actively look for people to run over [/I]like PJ did!) I loved that: don't look back, don't look around, look for the goal line, and always remember that a straight line is the shortest distance between two points. That was Dwyer all over. As for our BBs: well, you've all heard me: I want another Kyle Eckel. I thought we had one in Drummond, but it was not to be. Too bad Coach gave him to Groh, however; I think his career could have been much more productive at BB. He could have been another (he's who you couldn't remember, Boomer) Eric Ketani. However, I'll take what we've got and be pleased with it. I think this position is in pretty good shape. [/QUOTE]
