[Old School Hound]

How will the addition of the new RB affect what we see from the Hounds going forward. I've not seen the kid play and just know what little I've read on here. Tell me a little about what I should expect about how he will impact the offense and how he will be utilized  Also, elaborate on his physical skills and assets and his style of running. Is there a back from Corbin's past that he reminds you of?  Thanks in advance for your help.

I would probably say he is the guy that is going to get you those tough 3-4 yard runs, and honestly he may turn them into break away runs for a score.  He is a bruiser when he has to be and can be as athletic at the second level as anyone else on the roster.  If I was going to compare him to someone from the past, First name that comes to mind would be Zac Prewitt maybe.  Tough kid to bring down, not going to be stopped for short gains but when he gets through the line athletic and has good speed. He doesn’t have size or strength Zac had, but he is a tough back.

Thanks. How would he compare to a guy like Dale Fox?  With that be a legitimate comparison?

Was Fox at Corbin in the mid/late 80s?

Yes

From what I remember at Knox central and what I’ve been told about practice, I don’t think there has been someone that really compares to him. There was a kid, ans his name escapes me, back around 2010ish.  A bruiser of a back to bring down, but had some speed after the line, and some agility that made people miss tackles for extra yards. But I think he’ll be better than he was when said and done. But I think obviously it’ll open our offense up a little more. Give us more sets ans options to go with. They already can’t key on one specific person. But with the addition of him, you can move mills to a slot, have Patterson and longmire split out and wells eother at tight end or another slot, they’ll have to go one on one against them, then our speed and size can really take advantage. Or hand it off to huff and let him fight his way up field with no one in the box.

I don’t think we’ll hang 60 on PC regardless like Boyle did, our game style isn’t ran that way. But I think we’ll win in a more convincing fashion than that game went, because of our D. Somewhere in the range of 35-40 to 7.

From what I'm reading, it seems like the only thing that can stall a drive will be a turnover. A third and five or fourth and four like we faced last week would seem to be almost automatic conversions with a big bruiser in the backfield. Should be fun to wach.
