I don't think this is really about making JF a slot receiver as much as it is about getting as many of our best athletes on the field at the same time and getting them the ball in dynamic ways. 

That's exactly what it is. He talked about getting his most explosive players on the field as his philosophy at his first presser.

Certainly this is the case, especially if Charlie said he's training at both positions. Can't wait to see what this looks like.

So, not fulltime is what you’re saying?

Nope, not full time... This makes sense to me.  That's why I said I didn't believe him the first time he said it.

Cronk will be our Primary RB

Ford will be at Slot and #2 RB

Happy to have both on the field at the same time with Bell's Offense.

Go BULLS !!!

Hope little Johnny can stay healthy as it appears he will be the central cog to our offense.

I think we'll have many offensive targets, but agree he'll have most yards.

And don't forget about Horne.

He's short, he's not  small inter terms of his build....  at all. 5'5 170 is pretty stocky and he's actually gained weight, so he could be playing around 175... If he were 5'11 his weight would equate to 205 or somewhere in that area.  He's a stocky guy and made it through his true freshman year just fine.  I don't think durability issues come in with him.

Yeah Noel Devin survived the big east just fine and he was about Ford's weight but like 3 inches taller.   At his height Ford is decently thick at 170-175lbs and not many guys are getting clean shots on him either.   Darren Sproles was a bell cow back for 3 years at KSU and was a returner and he survived just fine.  Ford will be fine too.
