Quote:Marc Remy, the Rockets’ fourth-leading rusher last season, might be playing defensive back to get on the field.

I always thought moving Remy to receiver was worth a shot. He is very fast. Why put a guy who has proven he can move the football on defense? Not that help on defense isn't needed, though.

Agreed. Hopefully they do a feature on the RBs for this years poster as it should be the one group that identifies our football program this season.

Was it in this year's bowl game where we just pounded the ball down the field at the start of one of the halves. Make em stop us.

"Baby Backs of 2002" = 1 excellent 4 year player (T. Dawson) + one excellent 2 year player (Martin - transfer to GVSU), + one good 4 year role player turned gambler(?) (Broussard)

The theme could be Log Jam.

We'll have 3 seniors this season (assuming all 3 are still here in September). When they are gone it will free things up for the younger guys. Then again--there's always the possibility that a younger player could be hard to keep off the field, which, in that case, could make it tough on some seniors.

As far as the baby backs--Dawson was the only one that really panned out. As I recall, Martin was kind of fast, but undersized. He made some plays but was in no way an every down back. It seemed like he was having a hard time. Broussard was essentially a non-factor until his senior season when he made a few plays in garbage time.
