Hoov as tailback?

[LaChance87]

I think it was just to have two different styles of running in there, and Hoover has alot of weight on him and can pound it in there... Stewart I think too the role of Williams, whereas Hoover was playing the role stewart normally does... Goodson is just really unreliable and has shown he'll put the ball on the ground, i'd be cautious too... But I think they should have have let him play more, especially once they were up by a comanding lead.

I didn't think hoover had enough mojo left to play the way he is. Absolutley outstanding.

Fox is terrified of playing rookies.

Not really. He was just nervous of playing Goodson with how he was fumbling several times in the preseason. Even I was nervous about how his playing & want him to fix that before he start playing in more regular season games.

Or, Goodson is a bust.

Err.....too early to call him that. He just need to fix his fumbling problem & learn to break through holes more. If he can do that, I think he will do fine here.

In hindsight, Hoover probably knows the playbook a lot better than Goodson. He still did his thing though, I like when he gets the ball.

I like Goodson a lot, but I echo the concerns about his ability to hang on to the football.

Hoover was running hard inside. Goodson showed good stuff outside and receiving, which wasn't what we needed that much of at the time.

[Captain Obvious]

Because we like screaming Hooooooovvvvveeeeerrrrr over Goodson

[Wither]

Yes, many fond memories of watching him @ WCU... Fastest guy on the field! Today, not so much

Actually, he looked pretty quick.

Hoover has looked really good carrying the rock (and catching it) the last couple games. I hate to say this, but if we can continue to involve Hoov in the running game next year, and with Sutton and Goodson as depth, this team could definitely survive trading D-Will or J-Stew and continue to be a top rushing unit. I'm not saying that I want this to happen, because I don't, but we would be fine if it did.

I see your point, but they wouldn't be able to handle it by themselves over a 16-game stretch. I think you can make a better argument of trading one of them rather than both.

If that was the reason that Hoover was used over Goodson, then that would be a big negative over Goodson at this point in the season. I don't think it would have been a stretch to say that had Sutton been healthy, he would have gotten the carries that Hoover recieved, and Sutton has only been here since like. . .week 2.

I really hope Sutton gets re-signed.

[Yaboychris28]

maybe hes just a better runner than goodson just because ur white doesnt meen u cant pound the rock

Fox is terrified of playing rookies.

yeah because he NEVER plays them or gives them starting gigs....

[rayzor]

goodson just isn't effective yet. he doesn't run confidently and looks like he's in a panic. once he settles down he'll be ok. he's a project.

As long as Sutton is on this team and healthy, Goodson will never see the rotation.

Maybe, maybe not. We'll have to see what happend next year.

[Nytrogen]

The Hoov deserved some love for all his blocking this year. So we gave him some love. Nothing wrong with that folks.
