James Hopper to RB???

[EvanGWatkins]

Any truth to this move from those in the know?

Also any other big moves in the works?

I've heard this and I've also heard the staff is considering moving Collins to DT, which I don't like one bit. To me that sounds like an indictment of our current DTs more than anything, if true.

yeah i've heard the hopper thing also, from what i can tell he was a pretty good RB in HS but IMO this is somewhat of tell-tell sign for how Gregory is coming back from the knee injury.

As far as Collins goes i think that may be more about what he has/is growing into, body wise. He may actually end up being that "plug" we need in the middle + if he can continue to grow but keep his quickness he will be a mismatch inside. <---IMO this also says alot for the guys behind him.

I hope Hopper moving also means that our ROV's are doing well.

I hope Hopper moving also means that our ROV's are doing well.

I think that even though he is listed as a ROV, his frame is not quite big enough for that position, even though he is pretty tough from what I understand. VT is pretty deep in the seconday and I think he is needed more at the RB position. Wasn't he more of a CB/ATH coming out of high school anyway?? I think he was a very good RB in HS and will give us a some depth behind Wilson. I'm not sure how Gregory is doing but he hasn't really impressed me much thus far, just glimpses of good stuff.

Exum will be the starting Rover next year with Norman his likely backup. Dew should be competing for Whip, but he will get a look at Rover as well.
