**Ameer Highlights**

Chaddy, I wouldn't jump the gun on naming Abdullah the starter for 2013 season. I have been a Heard supporter since day one, and this kid has been out to prove he deserves that spot more than anyone else in that position. The times he has been on that field has proved, from talent wise, he should have it. Academically, off the field or during practice could be a different story. Quiet kid? Lack of leadership? Also, if the stories are true about him moving position, then its safe to say Abdullah would be the starter. Until then, I think its a dead even race right now.

I don't know why I am "obsessed" with Heard. Maybe its because, he is a more of a natural RB. He hits the hole with power, he has the speed and he has a tendancy to get extra yards that seemed like they were never there to begin with. He is less of a "dancer" and is out there to break people and run them over. Lol.

BTW, I am not saying he isn't going to be the starter, and great video btw :)

I don't disagree with you at all man. Heard is right there personally. I love his burst and he is VERY fluid with his running...when he moves he doesn't lose much speed at all. I am basing Ameer being the starter because he ended up getting more carries than Heard did last year even though Heard was fighting an injury. We'll see how it pans out.

 
Ameer and Braylon are interchangeable at this point. Braylon hasn't gotten near the amount of carries, but his middle name might as well be Braylon "First Down" Heard. What a classy, humble guy to not be crying about not touching the ball enough, despite proving it on the field.

The young man is really good. I hope they both get plenty of carries next year. The RB depth is ridiculous. I love it.

 
Other things are contributing with Heard not playing as much as Abdullah, specifically he injured his groin mid-season and he isn't as progressed as Abdullah in pass protection. He definitely looks very natural as a runner though.

 
Great Vid. We are going to have a strong run game. I also agree that they should spread the carries & find the hot back. Love the fear Ameer slogan.

IIRC, wasn't Heard slated to basically be "out" all season until Rex got injured and then he was pressed back into service? Heard definitely looks like he could get the job done as well. He "slides" more than runs. Looks very smooth and fluid. I would love to see him get about 15 touches per game in addition to AA. That, and throw in an improved (hopeful) Cross and we could be deadly next year at RB. With Martinez, that puts 4 experienced guys plus Jano and Marrow. Deep, very deep.

I wish we would take a cue from Bama and UGA and even Wisky and rotate those guys throughout the game. That is a lot of skill and talent that we could continually pound, keeping them fresh all game and really wearing out the D.
