Enrique late in game

tanichols · Mon Sep 07, 2009 1:27 pm

Is Enrique so far down the depth chart he was just getting some late game playing time OR is it strategy to save him for 4th quater to pound on already tired defenses? If you play him early you still got somebody else fresh. So, it's a win/win situation. I am so excited about the running back depth again.

3rd string RB. He wilkl get more touches as the year goes on. he will be #2 by the ened of the year and take carries away from Cordera

I think Davis should be second in front of Eason, but Bolden is clearly the better of the three IMO.

I agree..not because Cordera isn't a dynamic runner, which he is...but because he scares me when it comes to holding on to the ball

Cordera is better in pass protection/blocker now, as Davis improves...

Bolden didn't seem to be looking for much contact Sunday (like he did last year). I hope he was just guarding against injury and starts running over people when we get to the SEC.

Exactly. If he could just tote the rock without mistakes he'd be first string. Bolden is a hoss because he brings the hurt, keeps his legs moving, and--most importantly--never ever ever lets go of that football.

Bolden is the complete package..he also has a deceptive burst of speed. I could easily see him in the NFL.

By the time Bolden and Davis are seniors, we may have two high draft picks. Similar to McFadden and Jones at Arky. Not saying either is a Mcfadden; but both will be highly rated backs.

If you were trying to keep a game Vanilla and had a tool like ED a secret would you use him more than you did...besides why would you want to risk getting him hurt when the other guys were so effective.

We played to win this by the most margin available without showing our SEC opponents anything.

It is freaking memphis for crying out loud... it isn't florida.
