Nice thing about this get is we know DT is coming back so we don't need Turner to be a starter we just need him to be a strong compliment to DT.

I like the pick up! Seems like a replacement for Bangura. More of a homerun threat.

I assume we'll get another back. We lost Major, Bangura, Mangham, and Nubin.

Would like another bigger back like Major as the pair and the spare. Unless a guy like Jaydon Wright is ready for that role.
 

Great get to fill the snaps Major got this season. I’m glad this is the approach PJ is taking now after the past few years prior all contained RB injuries that often resulted in losses.
 






Seems like a good pickup, we need more explosive players. I wonder if the kid from
Michigan is still in play?

That didn't take long lol


When you look at his Pro Football Focus numbers, the 6-0 and 215 lb tailback graded out as an above-average player in four seasons at Washington, earning a 69.0 or above grade in those years. He only has three career fumbles on 256 career carries. During that breakout season for him in 2022, he was incredibly proficient in short-yardage situations as 45 of his 109 rushing attempts that season resulted in a first-down, and he was their goal-line back with 13 rushing scores.

With Marcus Major and Jordan Nubin gone, there is a role for Davis immediately in 2025 as a potential third-down and short-yardage guy. Obviously, he would be able to earn more of a role as well.
 

This is the kind of dominant output you like to see coming from the lower levels.
 


Was recruited by VaTech and busted out for over 100 against them earlier this season (on only 6 carries)
 

Fleck beating out Belichick for Turner was great (Chapel Hill to see the hoodie was supposed to be Turner's next visit, but Fleck closed the deal). I really like adding Turner (and to a lesser degree because he hasn't proven it Cabana) due to the element of speed they will bring to the offense.

I really hope Coleman from Nebraska ends up a Gopher. Maybe he will always be potential over production, but his size/speed at WR is something that could really transform this offense (assuming QB and OL play is adequate which is admittedly a big assumption).

I saw that too but only had like 800 and some odd yards. Seems weird for a guy that gains yards like that to only give him 10 carries a game?

Option football. QB ran 134 times to his 104 and the other backs 111. Also 7 of their games were 3+ possession gaps.

He also had runs of 88, 80, 69, and 67 on the season. A third of his yards were on 4 carries.
