RB room - Justins tenure

[enicmt]

Do we have one of the best RB coaches over the last 10 years?
Same coach.
This got me thinking...

Where does this years running-backs room rank (to this point) in Jusin's tenure?

Sulser wasn't a rb.
This year we have 4 studs.

 

[UncleRico]

He is a top level coach and human being.

 

[EverettGriz]

Holy hell. Those are some damn talented 3-deeps.

To answer your question, this years RB room is the best.

The 2024 running backs room stands out not just as the best in Justin's tenure, but arguably the best of all time for the program.

This 2024 squad has all the tools to dominate not just in this season, but to etch their names in Griz history as the best of all time. The perfect storm of talent, experience, and balance.

I really hope the offensive line lives up to the hype because if they do, the run game could be incredible this year.

I don't know about that. Matter of opinion, perhaps? The 1969-70 Griz had RBs the likes of Casey Reilly, Steve Caputo and Les Kent. Of course, the running back tandem of Lex Hilliard and Justin Green wasn't all that bad either.

Imagine Gillman, Ostmo, Rocker & Fonoti running behind some of the lines in the mid '00's....

As Sam Spade said, "The, uh, stuff that dreams are made of."

All are great. Agree that the common denominator is the coach who is also the recruiting coordinator (and a great RB himself).

 

[Money!]

If only he told Eastwood to hold on to the ball.

 

[retiredfan]

RB are only as good as the Oline opening holes for them to run through, granted they can run around them but someone is still blocking. Time will tell how good we are. Go Griz

 

[WyomingGrizFan]

If only he told Eastwood to hold on to the ball.

If only the coaching staff wasn't so arrogant to run the same play twice over; the bobcats were waiting and stacking the line for the repeat performance. A perfect opportunity for a run around end for the TD after a fake into the line, though.

To answer your question, this years RB room is the best.

Sometimes they even hand the ball off to the best of them. Usually not until the 2nd quarter when down 17 0. Why???
