F - dback depth took another hit
F - dback depth took another hit
With Bussey and Johnson now in the Portal...we're fortunate that TaMerick is coming back for his "super senior" year, or else we would've been up shit creek without a paddle. Williams, Marshall, and Kpeenu will get the bulk of the carries, in an extremely thin RB room...does incoming Freshman, Marty Brown, now get forced into immediate playing time? May need to try and target a Portal guy or two ourselves for the late signing period.
Depth chart updated. We need a portal RB for depth. TK Marshall is serviceable but I prefer him as our #3 back.
Portal Wish List: 1 RB (Bruce Anderson mold), 1 TE (6-5 Noah mold), 1-2 CB, 1 S, 1 DT (Bonafide Manbearpig), 1 LB and 1 (Good) DC.

T-Mac will have a huge year but we will be able to fill the RB spot. All these guys started or played valuable time as true or redshirt freshman. Bruce Anderson, Lance Dunn, Chase Morlock, Ty Brooks, Seth Wilson, etc... Whether we find a stud true freshman, a transfer portal guy or watch guys like Kpeenu, TK Marshall, or an under the radar guy like Owen Johnson take his game to the next level, we can fill it. Owen started his redshirt Freshman year at 5-10, 211. Strong runner who fits our system. But we need to fill some spots for sure.

Who are some candidates to switch positions to CB, S, or RB?
North Dakota State, a football team the big boys of college football should avoid like the plague, helped christen a $90 million renovation to Snyder Family Stadium — including a statue of famed Kansas State coach Bill Snyder himself — by taking a sledgehammer to the place.Bob Lutz, The Wichita Eagle, August 30th, 2013
Not so sure we shouldn’t do more of the Portal with RBs. The NFL doesn’t even put a premium on them anymore. Lots of great backs out there.
But I’ll say that TR really needs to get his shit together in a hurry and have a more dynamic attack, just like we need more dynamic RBs.
I mean, run some stretch zone blocking like SDSU does and let your RBs just make some plays.
Juat like it’s time for our AD to step up, so is it for TR, or he needs to be gone. Period.
And we need a solid DC with some creativity and balls. Not to be nostalgic or sound like I’m bragging, but my DC actually designed specific blitzes just to allow me to get to QB/blow play up because of my speed (not size). Get effing busy already. If we have elite defender(s) use him/them. Our blitz package this year sucked and was terrible in timing.

And, don’t believe everything you think—jussayin’.
Liberals of BV need not respond to my posts. I don’t need to get any more dumb.
I have a thought. Back in the late 60s we had two huge defensive tackles. One was Mr. Hanson who played for the Giants and was 6ft-5''and 290 pounds and the other whose name escapes me but he was killed in a duck hunting accident on an off
week from a shotgun. His number was later retired and he would have had a huge NFL career. He was 6ft 6'' and 250. Those two made it impossible to run up the middle. I think we should move two offensive lineman to defense. I suggest Max Rader
who is 6' 6''and 245 #. He is a very agressive player and good on his feet and could bulk up to 290 pounds. The other player is Hunter Poncius who is 6'8''and 311 pounds.He played hockey in high school . I know some will say he's too big or just leave
on offense. But could you imagine those two in the middle of the defensive line knocking down passes and stopping the run. Braden Rucker could be brought over too from the offensive line. Entz just won't think outside of the box. Entz is the poorest
coach since we moved to division one and i have felt we should never have made Roehl the offensive coordinator. I've said enough and look forward to the rebuttal.
