Running Back:

1) Not afraid to take hits - hits the holes hard and fast and dishes out just as well as he receives.

2) Very consistent - This person gives good information on a constant basis and is dependable when opinions are needed. this person states his viewpoints and does not waver from them.

3) Competitor - Even after fumbling (giving bad advice), this guy will always come back at you the next time with his best. Never afraid of the opposing linebacker (critic), will carry the ball until the cows come home.

4) An "inside runner" - When the holes are made for him, he has to fly through with a quick step. This poster is able to find the inside information, then quickly divulge it to Huskerboard so we can all "gain yardage!"

5) Ability to "bounce it to the outside" - When the hole isn't there, this guy can use his lateral thinking skills (and lateral movement) to tiptoe the sidelines for a good gain.

6) Catching out of the backfield - When a fellow poster (or his QB) gets in trouble in a topic, the RB has to be able to and bail him out. Short dumpoffs, designed draws, and screens should be easily fielded by this poster.

7) Picking up the blitz - Handles several topics/Mocks/debates/etc... while always prioritizing correctly (reply to a topic first, then worry about debating on the Heisman winner or best college mascot).

8) Reliable - Can be counted on to show up and play hard every week. Won't cough up the ball when taking a hard hit.

Please nominate or second the person you feel best exemplifies these traits at Huskerboard.

 
Hmmm...this one is tough, a lot of people can fit this description pretty well.

I think I want to nominate Killer. Imagine how much more productive he would be if he was only playing for one team!

 
So the running back here has to be someone stubborn and unwilling to admit fault? Do they also have to "buy into" the HC's philosophy?

No. The positions are symbolic. Nobody on the offense has to fall into lock-step with the HC or OC, nor do the Blackshirts have to fall in line with the DC. :)
