Running backs?????
Anybody besides me sick of Ricky Ferguson running straight up the backs of his blockers. Last I saw we had other backs on the roster. How about Eric Davidson? I know Marcus Cox can't carry every down but come on.......Ferguson isn't hitting many holes and goes down if somebody breathes on him........

Re: Running backs?????
You may recall that Steven Miller did the same thing his first year. His speed was actually a hindrance until he learned to time his cuts and bursts with his blockers.AppTraveler wrote:Anybody besides me sick of Ricky Ferguson running straight up the backs of his blockers.....
If serving is beneath you, then leading is beyond you.

Personally, I thought Davidson looked good at FF, but we haven't seen him since.

Re: Running backs?????
Ferguson looks pretty good at times in the open field with nifty cuts and some cool spin moves but my goodness, he is a little dude. Not so effective on those short yardage plays up the gut.

Re: Running backs?????
Like during the Citadel game....4th and 1, Ferguson up the middle for no gain. That is what drew my slightly offensive insult directed towards the coaching staff on Saturday.kickass143 wrote:Ferguson looks pretty good at times in the open field with nifty cuts and some cool spin moves but my goodness, he is a little dude.
