  4. running backs

    nice catch tx zip, i wrote pride and was talking about reed. i also didn't include walker as he will be a senior next year. since the capt. confirmed that bryan williams will indeed have 3 years to play two. akron will have johnson, williams, and Dk as seniors. they will all expect to be the man and get the bulk of the carries that season. you'll also have talent at jr (allen) and so. (reed and poss. pride) i just don't see all of these backs wanting to carry the ball 5-10 times a game. i am of the train of thought that you should use one primary back (if one steps up) and have a very good change of pace back. if brinson is at the rb like the capt put in his update akron will have a log jam. i just wanted other people's opinion's on who will be around or who should get the rock? do people prefer running backs spelling each other after a few carries? again, its great that we can talk about all of this talent at akron! :screwks:

    joyce finished with 18, i really like the idea of wood starting and rome coming off the bench. i don't wood gets into the flow well both mentally and physically coming off the bench and rome has come off the bench before. also glad to see conyers get some timegreat game! :screwks:

    since it has been confirmed by several people on the board that johnson has enrolled at akron i started to think that the zips will have a pretty big log jam at the running back pos. kennedy is the returning starter who has shown flushes but most would agree has room for improvement. the positive is that he has two years left to work on his game. alex allen and arris reed are coming back from injuries. allen's injury was much worse and it will be interesting to see if he can to return to the exciting runner most saw in the spring game. reed also showed tons of speed and can be a great change of pace back. now we throw into the mix bryan williams who was a monster when he played in the city (95). williams has a great combo of size (for the mac) and speed (sub 4.4) he is already on record for choosing akron because of the chance to play rb. i don't know this for sure but i think he'll have 3 years to play 2. do you red shirt him or split time with DK? speaking of 3 years to play 2, akron will also have a very talented ryan brinson playing for akron next year. brinson was also a monster in high school and some suggest he'll also play running back next year. i would think either brinson or williams goes to the secondary after fall ball, perhaps red shirting. that leads us to johnson who after red shirting will have one year left to live up to his enormous potential. a former top running back in the nation, he'll expect to be a primary option. come 08-09 you'll have DK, johnson, and williams? all seniors and allen and reed as jrs. i expect allen to transfer if the newcomers live up to the hype. that being said this a great problem to have, what do you guys think? :screwks: that much i know

  7. RB Bryan Williams

    it looks as if rasor is a little behind on his rivals facts. the new link shows that hill came to akron last week and is going to uva this week. he also states he's going to uva for 08 no matter what now. tough loss but love the addition of williams. two questions, since he grad in 05 how many years will he get at akron? also with williams coming to akron as a potential rb, what does that mean for Brinson? also does that mean morgan williams is for sure victim of grades? :screwks:

    the battle most interesting to me will be the o line. akron only has one returning starter with really only one other that has seen some playing time. i really thought that bates and anderson would be locks at guards by this year but reading quotes from j.d. and by seeing their lack of playing time last year makes me think they may not be ready. i hope they both yet serious this offseason as both have a ton of talent. if both come to play that still leaves two spots open. is sekinger ready to step up at right tackle? what about woods? if some one can step up and solidify the RT. spot the line should be in ok shape as sheepe can take over at C. that would also leave some depth as brewster and holly have at least taken a few snaps. what ever the case akron really needs this to be a main focus leading up to fall ball. :screwks:

    i agree with the post that akron is having trouble with the match up zone. there seems to be no flow to the game. i have yet to attend a game (plan to soon) so i'll ask is rome and wood not giving enough effort into getting open against the zone or are the guards really to blame? the only game i saw on tv was against uic and wood didnt' play. rome looked like he was asleep for half of the game. its up to these two to take akron to the next level. lets hope they understand what's expected of them :screwks:
