Besides ML21, what other past RB would you like to see in Spurrier's offense?

Cockholio · 12-13-2012, 02:12 PM

With the recent developments with Marcus, I got thinking about other great running backs from our past, and wonder how well they would do in our current offense. Excluding George Rogers from the discussion, I would think that without a doubt Harold Green would be an absolute freak on the scene running in this O. The man had size, good speed and hands, and possessed shiftiness/vision that was not natural for a man of his size. When I think about the current discussion of what type of back we should recruit, Harold fits the mold perfectly in my mind.

Duce Staley would have blown away americans with the talent we have here now! He was san overacheiver!

hellraiser24 · 12-13-2012, 02:28 PM

Brandon Bennett, Duce Staley, and Darek Watson without the baggage.

Agree with you on Watson without the baggage.

Ryan Brewer. He was such an exceptional receiver he would have had a field day.

Brewer wouldn't sniff the field on a Spurrier coached team. Especially the ones we have now.

Stanley Pritchett for me.

Well Taylor Rank did, and I think most of us would take Brewer over Rank lol

Brewer would have seen the field. He was very much in the DiMarco mold.

I agree about Harold Green. Would have been a great fit in Spurrier's scheme.

Garnet Gamecock · 12-13-2012, 04:39 PM

Boyd. Smilin' George.

Excactly what mold would that be? According to our website:

Dimarco: 6'1'' 243

Brewer: 5'10" 215 (If he was 5'10" then I'm 6'11")

Other than being white, there really isn't much in common with those two. DiMarco was a FB.

Brewer would've played though. That 2001 team was as good as any Spurrier team. They just played Florida & Tennessee when they were still elite powers.

cockyhoskins · 12-13-2012, 08:04 PM

Bennett all day long!

TKE226 · 12-13-2012, 10:53 PM

I wouldnt say George because he probably wouldnt win the Heisman in a Spurrier offense. But who knows...

Derrick Watson comes to mind, but he also came with a lotta crap

Bennett's size and athleticism would have been insane - really just a little bigger version of Latti
