Nice post!! #3 gets a little upset when his buddy gets slighted, but I understand where he is coming from. Childers played in a backfield that had probably the two best RBs to ever wear a Pirate uniform. Pretty easy to get overshadowed in that situation.

Bottom line......G-Man gave what his backfield needed. Tough yards, an awesome blocker, and dependability that he would be there come hell or high water. And thus far it seems May has been the perfect compliment to a totally different backfield. Maynard is an exceptional athlete whose agility, and vision make him stand out. He's not the guy thats gonna give you the tough yards that either Howard, Jones, or Childers did. Chapman has good vision, better than average speed, and will lay it all on the line, too. May has the size to get the tough yards and in the open field he has the experience of being a HB most of his life to make short gains into spectacular plays.

This years backs have did better than anyone have imagined they could. I hope they continue their success Friday night @ Russell.

Amen my brother,,, amen! This backfield has became a special one and they have did it in a completely different style than last year. When you have the greatest back to ever play at Belfry (Howard) and possibly the most gifted athlete (Jones) graduate and stll do what these kids have done with considerably less athletic ability it really says alot...
