the RB position as been a revolving door all fall going back to last spring, it looked like Canseri was to be the starting RB. he got hurt and Hill looked to be the starter, wrong, he gets hurt and is done for the season. Bullock gets switch from slot receiver and did a pretty good job gaining 280 yards in 2 and a half games.
the he gets hurt and Garmon comes in and gets hurt a few plays later with what looked like a season ending injury, then Weisman moves into the RB slot after startying *** the FB after Rodgers got hurt in fall practice.
what I found funny on other sites people were rippinG KF for not starting the best player from day one,, like anyone new anything about this kid as he was a transferr walkon from Navy.. the good news and bad news he ended up with over 600 rushing yards in 4 games, the bad news is he is out with a injury but the goodnews again is that Bullock and Garmon are both healthy and playing again and Bullock did end up with over 100 yards rushing for the game..
the OL has taken its fair share of hits with Blythe going down with a injury Walsh played a couple of series and got hurt letting Donnal get the start the next game. Now Scherff and Donnal are both done for the season because of injuries. this causes a major change to the OL 9 games into the season wth VanSloten at RT, Blythe is back starting at RG, Ferentz is still the starter at Center, Walsh is the new Starter at LG and Tobin moves from LG to starting at LT.
there is good news from all this for next season. we should have a solid group of RB's for next year..
Bullock
Garmon
Canzeri should be back at 100% and appears to be RS
Hill should be at 100% after RS
Dawson will be ready after RS
Malloy is RS
Weisman should be 100%
then you have whoever they get this spring and alot of these players took a shot from the AIRBHG and survived
the OL has some good young Talent getting valuable playing time
RSFR Blythe
RSFR Walsh
RSSO Donnal
RSSO Scherff
all these players were starting for the 1st time in their careers
1st season starters
RSJR Van Sloten RT
JR CJF TE
RSSO KMM WR
then you have the following playing
Hamilton SO TE
Hillyer RSFRR WR
Duzzy RSFR TE
Smith FR WR
Cotten JR Slot receiver and KO returner
Thats a lot of young talent playing this year that the coaching staff is dealimng with on the offensive side of the ball plus you have to realize GD is implementing his system all this since he got here in March, that's quite a bit to deal with in 7 months, this is where the good news comes in. all these players but 2 return next year, the only 2 listed that won't return are Tobin at LT and his replacement will either be Donnal or Scherff, Ferentz will be a difficult p[osition as he is responseble for blocking assignment call on the Line. but with KF and BF working on that I am not going to worry about that..
I will do another post on the out look on the defense later..
sorry about the length but this has a lot of good info looking forward..
