Where will Graves be used?

[nzone]

If he can hold on to the ball he’s got my vote.

I bet we will see some “wildcat” packages with him taking direct snaps with lead blockers. Didn’t we have him, Janacaro, and Bingham in the backfield for a short yardage play last year? Idaho maybe?

I wish we would have had him in for a short yardage situation in the Griz Cat game last year!

 

[GlacierGrizX]

Would he be a better OLB or safety? Does he have the necessary size for LB and/or speed for safety?

We had Janacaro and didn't use him. Probably the strongest runner we have. Maybe afraid he would fumble. Oh, wait....

 

[BWahlberg]

If I could place him anywhere on the roster for this season, I’d start him at running back

Start?

Hell. Yes.

Agree 100% with this. Put him behind Janacaro blocking.

Go with 2 TE's, Jancarao blocking, Graves running... oh man, Bobby's dream come true haha.

I am getting ready to go out here, as soon as it gets dark to shoot the M320 Grenade launcher. And the scenario you describe has be much more excited!

Graves played against the Cats too. Lined up in the backfield and never got the ball. I kept waiting for Sneed to motion out for the direct snap to Graves. Once we got to the 10 I was hoping for that or another end around to Sulser. If we block one guy on the edge on that play he scores from the 10 every time. Just like on the first drive.

Yup

Janacaro appeared to be in Bobby’s doghouse at the scrimmage last Friday. He got his butt chewed good.

 

[go96griz]

I think Graves is a very good runner and a tough kid based on his play last season and then in last week’s scrimmage. He didn’t throw well at all during the scrimmage, however. But it’s hard to judge his throwing yet because he was working with o-lineman that were having issues. I do think he ultimately ends up at outside linebacker, though.

Reinell,
Of course you mean an M302 grenade launcher....got an FFA permit for that?

If anybody does, he does.

No idea what a M302 is?

 

[bgbigdog]

Best players got to play.

 

[Paytonlives]

I say use him as an ass kicker where ever needed. But find one position and let him be.

My guess is LB.

 

[Harm]

Lol, I'm not ATF-E but I'm in the family...

You would do well to gain the acquaintance of Renell30. :thumb: He also has a great tailgate if you make it to any of the games.

He got the ball twice early on.

However, I do like the suggestion you made and would have enjoyed seeing that wrinkle. I think it would have worked.

2 carries for 3 yards against MSU. 7 carries for 18 yards for the season.
