yeah, the quality of that vid was not so good, but I have to agree that Hunt don't look so slow to me either.

id look fast playing in the big ten...hunt is slow...but who cares...they didnt get him to break 80 yard touchdown runs they already have one of those....hunt will be fine

i think the area im most excited to see him is not in short yardage but in the screen game...the eagle run that play to perfection and hunt was so good on screens at penn st

I'm excited to see a RB who can actually pick up the blitz every now and then and keep #5 off of his ass.

Is it confirmed/agreed that Hunt can do that? He's a decent blocker? I haven't seen any YouTube clips of him picking up the blitz.

He was good at it in college. Which means precisely dick now, but for what it's worth...

that too...passing down sets with westbrook split wide and hunt in the backfield to either give extra protect or sneak out for a screen or flat pass will be niiiiice

yes dio he is an excellent blocker...ive seen him pancake many a linebacker...i wouldnt be opposed to converting hunt to fullback...i mean everyone wanted leonard so bad...hunt can do everything leonard can and some of it better...i would have no problem cutting tapeh and going with hunt at fb/rb

He's a nice changeup to the speed and elusiveness that Westy brings. Heck i'd be happy with Hunt as #2 and Illaoa as the 3rd rb. the good thing is Buck should be even better this year with his knee having more time to heal.

I don't think that'll happen, but I'd be okay with it if it did. Tapeh hasn't lived up to his potential in that spot...the injury took something away from him, and he's only a mediocre lead blocker.

I actually thought he really excelled last year as a lead blocker, especially in open space. Isnt Zach Tuiasopo already on the PS?

Kolb is going to wear #5?
