Get Ready GatorNation!!!!pt.3 Running Backs

                                                                                              Im back, in my last piece I had a lot of bad comments that really disrespectful and unnecessary, look if you don't like it don't read it , its not hard. Well today I'm here to talk to you about the Florida Gators running backs. Last year, wasn't our year for the running game , because of distractions, for example : Jeffrey Demps,Emmanuel Moody was hurt during the season while Mike Gillislee was still learning how to be a Florida Gator running back. In fact,  Moody only played 12 of the 14 games last year because of injury and did not play against Alabama.

                                                                             The offensive line was new, it was also Steve Addazio first year as offensive coordinator. I think it was a good move to put Chris Rainey with the WRs , he is an explosive player ,but he is too small weight wise to play running back he is only 175 lbs ,the sophomore Mike Gillislee weigh more than Rainey(190 lbs) and he didn't get a redshirt. Rainey also lacks alot of endurance, he makes a couple of bad decisions and he only average 6.5 ypc last year, he average 7.8 in 2008. I think a guy with that kind of speed, and lots of explosiveness that's not strong enough to play running back should play wide receiver, so very good move by Florida.

                                                                               Now that Tim Tebow is gone,the RBs will get more carries and show their abilities as a running back. Usually you would see a bunch of RBs have over 100 carries,nope that's not the case with the Florida Gators last year, because Timmy Tebow hogged all the carries last year. Really, how many times would you see a quarterback have 217 carries , Jeremy Masoli only had 130 carries last year and he was a better explosive runner than Tebow. Now that John Brantley is our quarterback , expect a running back maybe two to have over 100 carries for the first time since 2007 with Keston Moore when he had 104 carries, and start to develop a running game.

                                                                                                                 If our running backs stay healthy we will have the best running back core in the nation.I say that because all these running backs can run 4.40-4.50 speed on a 40 yard dash, except for probably Moody, we also have one of the strongest offensive line when your talking about Pouncey,Gilbert,Johnson,Nixon,and Patchman ( if he is healthy ). See we didn't have a good year running the ball the ball last year and we still had more total rushing yards than Alabama ,3105 to 3011 yds and in yards per a carry 5.6 to 5.0, imagine this year if we stay healthy,we didn't beat them because passing game was horrible. Florida was in the red zone twice inside the 10 yard line on one possession Tebow easily miss his target  on a #rd down play when another man was open and the other time a accurate quarterback would have threw it high enough for his man to catch it unfortunately Tim Tebow didn't he threw it way to low and Javier Arenas easily picked that off it was right in his hand.

                                                                          Jeffrey Demps, will be the starter and will have 100 carries, if stay healthy. The Florida Gators will  use Emmanuel Moody a lot this season, especially in the redzone and short yardage plays. I like both running backs, but I like  Mike Gillislee better, he average about 8.6 ypc last year better than anybody in the nation , with the minimum of 30 carries. If Florida gives him at least 60+ carries he will have over 650+yds, Mike Gillislee has that 4.45 speed and the strength, I mean he weighed about 180 lbs coming in as a freshman now he's 190 lbs that's really for a guy with lots of speed , he will start next year when Jeffrey Demps leaves hopefully.

                                                                          Mack Brown Jr. is a incoming freshman with tons of talent, he had 1000yds rushing in just only 7 games in high school due to injury. The only problem I'm worried aboutis his durability , he got hurt all through high school, sometimes i wonder how he'll survive in college, but I think Urban Meyer will figure it out. If he can get stronger he will get more than 8.0 ypc this year.

                                                                          If I was Florida I would manage the carries my way. I would give Jeffrey Demps no more than 210 carries ,then I'll give Moody and Gillislee no more than 105 carries and I'll give Mack  Brown no more than 45 carries that should be enough carries to share out. I'm telling you now if we stay healthly this will be the best running attack Florida ever had since 1996.
