What did we think of Hilliard in game 1
-
thats right dont we all rem how awful and slow chubb looked last year? At the time i.didnt give a shit cause i didnt really care about chubb....csuse we had hyde. Then chubb got some aux carries a couple games in and we were all.like holy shit that was not what we saw in TC and preseason.
I rem now dustin fox talkibg on the radio at how jarring it was in preseason/TC to see how slow and unexplosive chubb was....that maybe tgete was a physical prob with him.
No some of us watched him at Georgia. He was only slow when compared to Michel. I was elated when we got him and not at all surprised at him beating out the slow Hyde.

Believe it or not, Chubb is actually faster than Michel. When you make it to the state finals in Georgia for the 100 meter dash - you're not slow. As recently as the combine, Chubb ran a 4.52 forty while Sony Michel ran a 4.54.

Their last year on the field together Michel seemed faster in games. But Chubb has since regained a lot of the speed he lost after that horrible injury. My son and I are going to a HS game on the 30th to watch his best athlete from 7th-8th grade teams he coached play for Temple High. He could be CB or QB, we don't know for sure yet. But my son tells me at the UTSA camp he ran a 4.34 40. That there is definitely NFL speed. He should get a lot of playing time as a 10th grader since the O and D coaches are each trying to claim him for their side of the ball. He wants to go to OSU, but I wear my A&M stuff when I visit with him at games. Really nice kid. One really great athlete. Most potential I've seen in HS since watching Mason Crosby kick for Georgetown HS.

Chubb isn’t the quickest but he is definitely fast for his size.
Once he gets into stride, good luck..
Hilliard is a solid #2 until Hunts arrival. As, Flugel said, give the man some reps.
-
Michel is more like a little bigger than Duke Johnson, with a quicker slash and cut.
Chubb is more of a very fast power back. Getting Chubb, who I wanted more than any other rb in the draft...
was just priceless.

I had Michel and Chubb 1a and 1b and was happy with whichever one we got. Chubb is starting to show the hands that Michel had at Bama. Nice development.
EDIT: And Hunt has excellent hands as well
-
From being at the game, my POV? The short of it? He sucks, and is no Duke. Reason he was undrafted. Dorsey crossing his fingers he doesn't run Chubb into the ground before Hunt comes back off of his suspension.
So are we going to be watching who gets cut elsewhere or hits someone's PS? Or do we stick with him through 8 games? The key will be how he is doing/improving on a daily basis on the practice field.
BTW I just saw Orchard sack the QB for Miami in watching the replay of their game against the Falcons.

I have often wondered why Orchard wasn't kept by Cleveland OR why he wasn't immediately scooped up by another team. He seemed to get to the QB.

i think he's solid. God forbid something happens to chubb i think he'll be serviceable for a couple games till hunt arrives. Teams are not going to stack the box at all against the air show bakers gonna put on....so RB isnt going to be a heavy feature

- Agree.... the difference in Hilliard's performance with the 1's vs with the 2's was noticable.
- While I agree that we will be more of a "pass to set up the run" team... rather than the old school vice versa... our success rests largely upon being able to run effectively when we do run. And in the end with (hopefully) the need to secure late leads and chew up clock we will end up being close to a 50/50 pass/run team

Hilliard will be fine with more reps. Lets see how the rest of pre-season shakes out. But his hands from the backfield appear to be quite steady.

I’d say Dorsey brings in a vet soon. I’d keep an eye out for Charkandrick West.
Possible, but that's depends more upon how D'Ernest "The Other" Johnson continues to show. He had a nice little Game 1... if it continues then any vet additions can be put off until after final cuts. Even into the season if we have three healthy backs rostered.

D'Ernest Johnson also did KO & Punt returns at South Fla..and As the ACC watcher ? this guy got late touches with some nice burst..hope to see more.. why are we looking for another FB? a 6'2" 233'er that can run 4.37 https://caneswarning.com/2019/03/25/miami-hurricanes-pro-day-early-analysis-trayone-gray-has-blazing-40/ i don't think we keep one? but we may, beef up a FB on PS?

I think Hilliard will be fine as a receiver, there probably won't be that much of a drop off, but his running seemed to lacking, definitely not as physical as Duke.

Yeah. I WOULD like to see more of that guy. He had 2 carries for 16 yards. (#43)
-
I guess he will do. Not sure he would of been as good as Duke would of been as a split end. Duke had great hands and was perfect for a check down situation.

Agree with this... I always felt Duke was underutilized in this role... especially in 2017 when our WR corps was nothing to brag about.
Now? Really is no need for him in that role.
