SGF, k5james think Kazee wil be in there in third downs to block and catch the ball. K5james thinks hats what Rocky meant by RB by committee.

Don't you know it's not the local paper's job to trump up the local program!  Yeah, like he said! |

Our D will need to confuse them a lot to pull the upset in the Clink! |

The Killiansc says he can't believe any Aztec fan would not be thrilled with Adam Muema.

The SGF knows it's sacrilege to say but the SGF thinks the Oracle could be correct about Muema. What I saw of the kid last year sure reminded me a lot of Brandon Bornes. That's not bad mind you, but who would you rather have, Bornes or Ronnie H.? I think either Hardwick or Price could be the reincarnation of #13. And I'll repeat that although folks keep saying we'll have a tailback by committee approach since we're so stocked at that position, when Rocky was at UNM, he always settled on one guy and rode that same horse over and over, just like he did with Ronnie. And note this, oh heeders of the Sirens, although Muama got to carry the ball 42 times a year ago, he caught just two passes for three yards. The Monty laughs as the Monty thinks that reminds The Monty exactly of #13 |

I've forgotten all about Kazee. I guess it's because he has just one more year and is coming off what for a running back is a major injury. My overlooking him shouldn't be misconstrued as dissing the kid since I have great respect for how much he's accomplished as a guy who nobody else wanted.
Regarding Muema, I should say he's shown some moves, of which Bornes was devoid. Still, I think some are overly influenced by that one long TD run against Boise. Fact is, they put eight in the box on that play and it was blocked extremely well by Embernate and the guard next to him and Muema simply ran untouched into their secondary for an 81-yard TD. Muema averaged an impressive 6.0 ypc in 2011. However, take out that one run and he averaged a pedestrian 4.2 ypc. (Kazee averaged 4.6 ypc.)
So to repeat, I think Muema is a good back. However, I'm not at all ready to hand the starting job to him for the season.

he was a stud in HS, looked good coming off a major injury as a redshirt frosh, all signs point to the SGF saying The Monty, the K5, The The, were right

Beed took a tumble on the depth chart & Kottman up to 3rd on the defensive tackle depth chart. The idea of a 245 lbs frosh manning the nose scares me.   Rocky is very high on Craighead, who has moved up behind Meredith at DT. |

Don't knock The Oracle. Like you and I, Monty, he has significant higher education. And that means something. I think.

But doesn't The Monty think I may have a valid point that some may be over-valuing Muema based on one long TD run? To repeat, subtract that run and he averaged 4.2 ypc last year. Certainly not bad but not great either. Plus, although he carried the ball 42 times, he caught just two passes for a cumulative three yards. That does not auger well for being a threat to take the ball up field on swing passes out of the backfield. Granted that I haven't seen either Price or Hardwick in a college game but their HS film suggests both are adept at so doing. The difference as I see it is the latter two are both very quick whereas that is the primary deficit in Muema's game.
Can The Rock be comfortable with a tailback rotation? If I was coaching the Aztecs, that is what I would be inclined to do this year. However, The Rock's history says that isn't going to happen.

No one caught the ball well out of the backfield (or threw it well). I don't think we can make a pro or con based on his numbers as a frosh. The kid has a very high ceiling, we'll see how he does this year. No one is replacing Ronnie he was a special college back. Walter, Muema and Hardwick or Price will be pretty good, but we'll miss those games where Ronnie was a horse and got the rock 30 times for 240 yards |

Rocky almost always had a back who carried the ball that much at UNM. His guys didn't gain that many yards but that was mainly because Rocky never had a QB worth a tinker's damn who opposing defenses had to worry about. |

Ronnie was given the ball when everyone in the stadium knew he was getting ball and he broke backs with tds. RB isn't just simply get 3 guys 10 carries each; a special talent like we had could just be given the ball over and over again and be bound to break a big run. Great running backs crush souls, committees just move the ball (or don't) |
