Good. He’s so GD overrated. Not that he isn’t very good, but he’s far from CFB’s best player. He gets to drive the bus surrounded by the greatest weapons in the sport, hw mostly just has to complete simple passes all day and let his receivers run. Nothing compared to a Young or Hooker who do all that and so much more.
Sure did. He hired this dude named "OSU is dropping every pass that hits their hands"
This is actually very JON: everybody just run downhill all the time. Except due to weather it’s hard to hit us with any counters, so guys like Mueller who over pursue all the time just get to play fearlessly aggressive.
He is making himself a lot of money today. Possible first rounder.
Hull might be opening some eyes on this board as well.
I know you’re referencing my comment that I don’t see him as an NFL guy yet, and I still don’t today, but I’ve been saying he’s a solid Big Ten starting back for over a year, so I’ve been in the pro Hull side of things for awhile.
It’s been EXTREMELY fun to watch Tomi today.
Tomi is nowhere near a possible first rounder. Are you talking about him playing against Paris Johnson?
We are playing sound schematic football 🏈! Keep pounding the football 🏈! Wear em down!
I think Toni may end up making a move inside at the next level. If he can put on a little more bulk, I think he could be a very effective 3T DT in the NFL. Would love to see him on the Bears.
Maybe. He has demonstrated impressive physical development each off-season so if he does it again I could see it, I’m just not seeing him as a top 15 CFB RB just yet. Like, JJTBC was a marginal backup NFL guy and Hull isn’t at that level yet imo. Not trying to be insulting, he’s good, I like him, and he could do it.
Agree but not only that. He will be a contributor on offense. With his speed, ability to catch like a WR and ability to block, I see his floor as a 3rd down back who comes in on passing downs.
the Bears drafted Treaten Ebner in the 6th round last year and he is similar to Hull but I think Hull is better.
IMO blocking is one of the things he needs to most improve this off-season. But he a absolutely could.
Hull has the prototypical size and speed that the NFL looks for in their Rbs. JJ did not unfortunately.
I’ll say this and finish the conversation, which I don’t want to become an argument because I’d be very happy if you’re right: my position currently, based on what I see today, is that I don’t agree, but Hull has physically and technically improved considerably every offseason of his career to the point the magnitude of it has shocked me each time, so he could certainly do this again and be more than a marginal prospect next year. I hope he does and stays in purple.
His legs are as advertised and his arm is better than expected. And he seems to be a "gamer". So while it's still too early to say for sure, he does remind me of Zak Kustok.
Last four words unneeded (I’m not categorically against the Wildcat, I’m just against how Jake usually uses it).
The idea behind the wildcat is A> it’s a wrinkle look that lets you do some confusing thjngs, and the TD run was a good example of that (lots of motion, shifts, etc that make life hard for the defense on one play) or B> you get the extra blocker by removing the QB and can win the line battle. Those boring direct plays are trying for B, but that makes zero sense to me since 1. It hasn’t been working at all and 2. Sullivan is a runner and gives you the extra blocker himself without needing to grant the sacrifices that come with the Wildcat.
