Running Mustangs
Posted: Sun Apr 10, 2005 4:42 pmMost impressive to me was the performance turned in by Richuel Massey, Jessie Henderson and Fred Turner. I loved seeing Massey bust that long one through the line, and he looked quicker and shiftier, even wheen he didn't break out for long yards.
Henderson and Turner -- let's be honest, these are not big guys. I wondered if either one would survive when they ran inside the tackles, but they both were effective .... very elusive, and each took a few shots and bounced back up.
We might not have an all-America RB on the roster, but it's obvious we're no longer one-deep at the position any more, either. Rather comforting, if you ask me. We just might be FIVE-deep. It depends, of course, on how they develop, but when Massey struggled last year and Henderson and Turner joined the crew looking like they might get blown away by a light breeze, I didn't think the RBs would be as promising as they seemed yesterday.
