  • Who will be the starting RB in 2005-06

    I'm betting TF starts the first few games and loses the job to Horne for the rest of the season. I think Hill would be most helpful if he were to move to WR. Thoughts?

    How about the 3 back backfield?!

    I think Freeney will start, but I really have no evidence to back that up. One thing for sure, things are going to be really interesting in the backfield.
    The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

      Another thing is for sure: if Hill BEHAVES HIMSELF, we'll have a really potent offensive unit, one that could scare the snot out of other Gateway foes.

        Maybe Freeney at Full-back and the other two as tailbacks.....

          It is going to be really interesting. Having a lot of players to choose from is a nice problem to have. Something tells me that Freeney will want to prove himself and that he will have a monster year. Let's hope so, anyway.

            Why is it everyone thinks that any athlete can play wide receiver?? Contrary to popular belief, it is still a SKILL position.

              I didn't know that Hakim Hill was "any" athlete. A kid with his speed needs to touch the ball and with the three quality RB's we're going to have in the backfield, I think the vast majority of us are open to discussing this. And if that doesn't work, we'll just try Shuler at WR

                I really don't think Hill will have much trouble moving to wideout if they choose to do that. He's obviously got the speed for it and he must have decent hands since he's been a return man at ASU. With some work with our superb coaching staff...he could make the transition.

                Also, I do like the idea of moving Freeney to FB. He's a pretty big guy and we could incorporate more FB running plays. With someone like him at fb, it definitely would open up the play action.

                  Competition is healthy, and on the healthy note, If Terrance stays healthy, I don't see him losing his starting position to anyone. I simply ask you to consider the huge performances Terrance has had when healthy. Anyhow, we shall see.................

                    The one place

                    where Hill will likely help us most is in the return game. UNI used to be famed for its punt return teams. He could definately help on kick offs as well.
                    If computers ruled college basketball the way they do football, we'd have skipped all this March Madness monotony and just waited a month for the Kansas-Kentucky title game. And watched Northern Iowa play Cornell in the Poulan Weedeater Bowl. ~ Dwight Perry The Seattle Times
