I can't remember the last time we had a truly dominant TB coming out of spring. I hope they are calling Jones and Taylor that after spring ball! We need balance and explosion on offense.

I'm expecting Jones to start the year with Taylor getting plenty playing time. I'm most interested in seeing how Mack Brown responds and if he steps up and gets playing time or falls down the chart and not contributes much.

One of the reasons he hasn't made much of an impact in his first three years.

I hope you're right, if we could get 3 or all 4 as really good backs, we'd have a serious stable to contend with. Pick your poison with our new found WR's taking the top off the D.

It was a fair question. I mean, this is TG we are talking about here.

Not only should we feel great about KT but even better about our overall TB depth with Jones, Taylor, Brown, and Lane. That along with a solid dual threat QB who will only get better and Hunter Joyer lead blocking all adds up to one of the best backfields we will have had in a long time. I hope we get solid contributions from at least 3 of our tailbacks

Agree, he wants it bad and was so coachable last year. He's gonna be a force to reckon with. I think we're gonna have 3 that are capable.

Break out the shades, the future is looking bright!
I gotta get an upvote for the sheer corniness of that one.

TG Implying that there are other reasons for Brown's disappointing showing thus far. I'm not sure expecting a whole bunch out of him when he was passed on the depth chart by Jones is the most likely thing. But heck, it's just an opinion.

Wasn't trying to imply anything. Fact is for whatever reasons, in three years, Brown has yet to contribute anything meaningful. And it's not or lack of opportunity. There was plenty of playing time up for grabs last year.

Brown did some good tough running before he got hurt. I think it is a mistake to count him out, not that anyone in particular is doing that.

Not sure if that was directed at me, but I'll openly admit I'm not counting on Brown to do anything until he proves otherwise.
