    Eric Garror 7 (was 19)
    Lance Legendre 9 (was 13)
    Jayrin Wilson 9 (was 28)

    There could be others. Those are the ones I caught.
    Is Jayrin Wilson still on the team?

    I was told otherwise

    And while the RB core is thin, the defensive line just has thinner players. There isn't an eclipse like Humphrey this year. I realize somebody of his size doesn't come along too often, but he did plug a big azzed hole. I think the depth is there, but the lack of that one piece might have a bit of an impact.
    7 is plenty.

I am enthusiastic at the potential for a better passing game though, and that would help tremendously. Maybe the impact on the running game won't be an issue.
    Definitely. We are not nearly as talented as in the past at RB.

    Right or wrong in the recent past I've considered Smith an "up speed pitch" a change of pace back for what Louisiana was doing.

    Obviously it worked.

    It will be interesting to see how this season develops.

    We need the reliable between tackle runners that we've had in the past and having one who can catch out of the backfield would really be a bonus a la Eli Mitchell..

    I think we have plenty of talent at RB

    Perroni’s dad played at aTm. The kid is a mountain.

    Two years ago I thought how could we possibly replace Mitchell and Ragas and then Bailey and Johnson showed up. I think this year will be the same. Not sure who it will be but we have enough talent for someone to answer the bell.
