Daniels only chance to start next year is if Moss heads to the NFL and Owens recovery doesn't go as hoped. He's just not a RB1. He's a plus RB2 and best helps the team in that role.

I'm not totally out on Smith. He appears to want to run patiently and let the blocking form (sound familiar?) but lacks the vision to capitalize on it. Hits the wrong gaps or runs into tacklers. Fix his vision and he may be much better. But as it stands now he's not ready. Hopefully with more reps it'll improve?
RB2+ guys usually grow into RB1's. Daniel's should be aiming to be the second starter next season, and he has the best opportunity to prove it right in front of him.Slicer97 said:

Agree that the tough yards don't appear to be in his purview.Detmersdislocatedshoulder said:StinkyPinky said:

i had high hopes for smith to contribute at the bare minimum as a pass catcher. to be honest and this isn't personal but i have been kind of disappointed. he avoids contact and you can't be a successful running back on the sec if you don't like to get hit. they need to use him mostly as a pass catcher cause he isn't picking up the tough yards.

That's what I'm hoping as well. We will most likely find out.NyAggie said:Detmersdislocatedshoulder said:StinkyPinky said:

To be fair, smith hasn't had much of a chance to play. Maybe now that he'll get more carries, he'll have a chance to get in a rhythm running the ball
He's had a couple of bigger runs called back on penalties so maybe more carries will ignite him and he'll start to find his groove
At least, one can hope

Aparently we do have someone from the defense working at RB right now.
Watch they end up playing and being a stud.

Wonder who it is?
I like surprises like this. And glad the coaches are thinking this way.vander54 said:

Jayvon Thomas? Think he played a little RB in high school and a track guy.P.U.T.U said:
Brooks may be a good choice but he is also one of our best safeties so his touches would be limited. Might be enough to give a breather though

Didn't Davis play receiver on offense in HS, or more of an Ath position? Also a track guy. Like his body type/size.vander54 said:P.U.T.U said:

This is why I'm not sure it's Brooks.
I know Jayvon Thomas played RB some in HS but I wouldnt mind seeing Myles Davis at RB.
