    Don’t see where you are getting the Sands info from. Its hard to take a lot of this as fact when Knight only watches 10 minutes of practice.

    From what I’ve was told, the defensive line was in the backfield the entire scrimmage. Part of that is on the O line and the other part is the D line is getting after it. There wasn’t a lot of runnning lanes for the backs.

    To let it be known, Cronkrite wasn’t beaten out by Scarlett. He was the number 1 guy through all of camp until a concussion on their last scrimmage. He then had a falling out with the head coach before the first game once he was told of the rotation and was penalized from there. Cronkrite was never a favorite of that staff and it showed in the opportunities.

    I have to disagree with the RB by committee approach. There is a huge difference between Cronkrite and the others on the roster. Let’s be honest, the backs last year didn’t set the world on fire. Tice found the holes half the time but didn’t have the explosiveness to be dangerous and DJ just would run into the back of an OL or Ed Oliver. I expect a significant improvement in the RB position compared to last season.

    By not really seeing either QB in real game action, it’s going to be the guy that can complete the throws that’s Q struggled with this season. This will keep the defense honest. From what I’ve been told O should win the battle just due to overall talent. It will definitely be the guy that can hand off the HB dive flawlessly as well. Just realize that HB dive will look a lot different next season. Tice had more success than DJ but just imagine when there is a better RB seeing the hole with elite burst.

    I think he might be a better RB prospect than Norris but that isn’t saying much. Would think he could play LB but his foot speed isn’t great at all

    Strong/Gilbert do not use more than 2 RBs in their rotation. For a kid that doesn’t have great speed and played lower level ball he will need an adjustment year. His film is not impressive and shows that. Do not be surprised if Cronkrite is used like Foreman was during their last year at Texas. He would have been the starter this year if eligible. Sands will most likely be the #2 and Bell and Mack will fight for garbage time.

    The kid from Chiefland will most likely RS. There will be a battle for second string at RB. If Mack and Sands were really that good they would have pushed for more reps this season which wasn’t the case. If Sands doesn’t switch positions then I would pencil I’m as second string. Mack will be delegated to special teams only like this year. Bell may also make a push for some reps as well if he learns to run inside.

    The talk around Q is that he knows QB isn’t an option at the next level so he wants to try RB.

    Being realistic and seeing the personnel that is on this roster, they should have won today but these players, especially flowers do not fit the system. He is extremely limited as a QB which is completely handcuffing the offense. The O line is a year away from really knowing how to block for this system and having the attitude. There really aren’t any game breakers on this roster. I’m sorry This is loss is equally to blame between both staff and players.

    The coaches gave him limited reps since he wasn’t playing this year but with what he did in those reps had everyone feeling the job would have been his if eligible even with those reps. If you look at this years RBs, Tice is having more success and fits the style of running that this offense needs. Patient North-south runner with good vision, one cut and go. Cronkrite is the same style just bigger, faster and stronger and probably better vision as well. DJ has struggled more because that’s not his style as much.

    Maybe at QB but not RB. Cronkrite would have been the starter this year if eligible so barring injury it should be the case next year.
