Who else things we need to see a bit more of Tice? I don't like that he runs pretty straight up, but, it seems like he has better vision than DJ and tends to be the better runner (5.3 ypc vs 4.1) at this point. DJ is faster and more likely to break a longer run, but, I see Tice as the better all-around back who generally will get positive yards every time he touches the ball. I don't think he gets the credit he deserves, but, I am glad that young man got another year of eligibility. He's meant a lot to our running game so far this year. I almost feel like it should be a pro-style use of the backs, with DJ being the 3rd down back and Tice getting the bigger workload. Maybe late in the game, hit them with DJ having fresh legs and the defense being run down and less sure-tackling. Maybe I'm seeing things though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same thing over the past few weeks. Tice seems to run hard like he is trying to prove something. I like them both and I think the coaches need to figure out what works best and when to use them. Kind of like you are trying to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ caught a lot of passes for us last year. I'm not sure what's not clicking with him so far this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh legs in the backfield kills in this system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
