Josh Adams

[chaseball]

Anybody get a chance to watch his highlights from last year? This guy is criminally underrated. He's the total package of size/speed/vision/etc. Big/tall guy that doesn't have "pad level" issues...he's able to stay low keeping his strength but doesn't lose any agility and speed in the process. He has freakish athleticism AND natural football player instincts. This guy can be a big time star this season. That run vs Stanford last year (defense had an angle on him, and he still outran them all)

His technique is all off. He runs too fast, too upright, and doesn't stop until he is in the endzone.

Also, he only had 3 stars as a recruit.

Eric Dickerson 2.0.

Remember he was only 3 stars because of the injury so he flew under a lot of teams radar.

The Irish have Adams, Folston, and Williams with two running QB's and a powerfull Oline and Luatuah (blocking back). The Irish O will unstoppable !!

Hoops.Time to check the batteries in your sarcasm detector.[smile]

he'll easily be the best rb in the Midwest this season and one of the best in the nation if healthy all year

I understand and support Fuller, but my Goodness, had he stayed this offense would have been unbelievable. With Kizer, Adams, strong O-Line we are set. Just need a breakout year for one receiver. Is it Torri is it ESB..Let's see.

Even without Fuller our WR position is extremely deep and talented. Lets get excited for the new guys. I actually think we are just as good or even better than last year across the board on offense.

if, big if, the deep threat emerges, then the overall WR position is much stronger. There is depth and speed.

Josh Adams is off to a better college start than Eric D. Hopefully he "Beasts out " and equals or surpasses him.

Josh Adams had 117 carries for 835 yards and 7 tds as a true frosh against tougher defenses than Eric ran against in college.

Eric Dickerson his freshman year had 115 carries for 477 yards and 6 Tds with a 4.1 ypc average. His sophomore year he had 188 carries for 928 yards for a 4.9 tpc average. He didn't blow up until his junior and senior season.

Josh has a similar body type and running style. He may never reach Erics prolific career but who knows ? I believe Josh will have a MONSTER sophomore and Junior season !!! and be a top draft choice after his Junior season !!!

Everything looks good. Question: Will ND be able to stretch the field?? Fuller scared the h out of every opponent. Gotta keep teams from stacking the box.

I know he is coming off surgery, but wasn't Sanders actually faster than Fuller?

Stick to your pom poms and stay out of football discussions. In no way, shape or form is there any comparison. Please explain how Adams runs like Dickerson.

No one is like Eric....... There was a spider on his property not long ago and he got his shotgun to take care of it..... PS. His daughter is lightening fast and Junior never stops smiling.....

Where the F&ck does Pom Pom boy draw this comparison. I think he was born with a Pom Pom shoved up his arse.

Years ago the Jets and Rams had a bench clearing brawl at Shea. No one knew the cause as it happened away from the play. Eric was asked about it,
"Oh, that was a good one. Before the game coach Robinson said no one is dancing on Vinnie. Anyway, Gastineau started his sh** and Jackie belted him....." (Slater... mystery solved.....)

it looks like Folston and Adams will share P.T.; it will probably affect individual honors for each. But if they do well they will be noticed. Plus sharing the workload is better than leaving you career in college. Even behind those two there is good depth.

The run attack will be part of the 'attack' part of the offense not just to set up the pass attack offense.

In year 7, the whole system in place, the offense is explosive.
Can an excellent offense be enough to compensate for and average defense.
That is where the story is for '16.
