    Hoping that morlock isn't used as a tailback and primarily lines up at fullback and all over. They also need to get Bruce and Dunn way more carries. King is a good short yardage and grind back but lacks the explosiveness and home run ability of the other two.

    At the end of the year King was turning a 2-3 yard run into a 7-8 yard run quite a bit.

    Agreed. He just lacked enough speed to break away or hit the edge.

    I can see this team breaking NET 4,250 yards of total rushing this season.

Oh by the way we still have Dunn and Morlock. Teams will fear our running game because we have the O-line to open the holes for them.
    Great take... Your spot on... This will really open the play action pass downfield and also Easton ability to run puts lots of pressure on the opposing D.

    Keep away will be the name of the game again next year.

    No doubt king breaks tackles and punishes guys but some of his runs would have been touchdowns for Bruce, King gets caught in the open field. There is no catching Bruce or Dunn. They just bring more big play potential and hope they get more work

    Even during John Crockett era King had better stats especially in the Yards per carry category. He had more yards per carry compared to Crockett. My problem with King is he tries to tussle with the opposing team defense instead of escaping, for example right here watch this play

    I feel he slowed down to hustle with Deondre Hall who was a yard or 1/2 yard behind him.

    This could happen if Stick gets a ton of yards like 800. Otherwise I think teams will stack the run against a young QB. May have to throw even more this year.

    Lol you need your vision checked. There is no way Frazier is outrunning Hall on any play!
