I’d love to see Tyus take the reins. That’s the best case. Both Clair and Hull have the look of supplemental backs.

It’s fun to imagine packages for Coco, tho. I hope he’ll get to do some damage in the return game.

I think Tyus will win the role, like JJTBC and Sutton before him. Coco is an interesting idea, no reason he can't play both ways to some extend

Potential for injury goes way up if you try to play him both ways. While a couple plays might work, his going into backfield probably tips off D unless he is in a fair amount as a decoy and that increases the risk

Let's hope that if he is successful at winning the role, he is also durable enough to last like JJTBC and Sutton. We have had several in a row that haven't been able to stay on the field such as Larkin, Bowser and now Porter.

And the depth issues don't go away after this year as we only have one RB in next year's class

So for every touchdown Azemo would makes, his replacement on defense would give one up? Sounds like an even trade to me.

If he would be starting RB, maybe but he would be a backup so not the trade you think

I believe Coco to be the best back on this team. I saw it with my own two eyes.
He is the starter as DB. He would only be a backup change of pace back at RB. And fortunately it is not important what you believe
