It will be interesting to see who gets used in goal line situations. Brown is such a strong runner, but the way coaches are talking about Davis makes me think he's going to have to be breaking some longer runs to see as many touchdowns in 2018.

If you figure about 80 plays a game Davis and Brown will probably average about 20 carries a game for the season. That's 40 times a game a defense is going to have to tackle these guys. When you add in their receptions out of the backfield defenses are going to be worn slap out by the 4th quarter.

I have a feeling we'll see more passing with Vincent back at OC.

OCs always say that you take what the defense gives you. With our augmented RB corp, I believe we will see fewer passes of the "third and long type" and more selectively chosen passing plays overall. I would expect that the total number of pass plays will be less than 2017 as long as the RBs are leading the attack. The old Darryl Royal mantra that "Only three things can happen on a pass play and two of those are bad" will still influence play selection in 2018.

Then mix in Noble and his compadre, and that that thing could take off. Specially with Lisa as a threat to throw any time they crowd the box.
