I nominate Spencer Region! I sure wouldn't stand in front of him!!! Every team needs a 400# RB!

DJ Howard isn't huge, but he's as close to a power back as any RB we have right now. At least he can break a few tackles.
I imagine it's going to be a combination between Ellington and Howard for the majority of the short yardage situations.

DJ came in at 190 while AE came in at 198.....

Ellington is the biggest back on the roster weight wise.

Brooks didn't add as much weight this off-season as I'd hoped after watching yesterday's weigh-in....so I'd have to say Ellington/Howard are the guy(s) right now.

I heard Robert Nkemdiche might get some goal line touches when he gets here.

Maybe we are relying on never being in short yardage

It doesn't matter who the back is if the OL doesnt move people, and they have not done that in many many years.

I can't wait for Dalvin Cook to arrive...

He's a stud, and competes in Dade County, which pumps out some of the most electricifying, physically imposing prospects in all of America. Turned down the likes of LSU, So Cal, FSU, among others to tote the rock in Tigertown. He's going to be a great one.

In his younger days, Mr. Perry could surprise QB's with

his speed from time to time....If a QB saw him coming, they learned very quickly to get rid of the ball and not risk a foot race.

He said short yardage. What's his time in the 2 yard dash?
