How tall is Jalen, 6'4-6'4.5? He looked a couple inches taller than Dobbs to me last year. Looked closer to Crooms height to me.

You doubt what? He's 242 lbs right now and intends on putting on as much weight as he can until camp (as he knows he'll drop some weight during the month of August). The goal is to be a lean 235 by the first game.

And yes, KBVol, after getting sick mid-season, he was hovering around 215 which is way too small for his frame. Jalen is a step (if not more) faster than he was last year also.

He has a huge chip on his shoulder and feels that he has a lot to prove. He has worked very hard in the off-season, and the game has slowed down for him tremendously as well.

Expect to see a completely different machine this year.

It's going to be awesome having Hurd & Kamara in the backfield this season! Its been quite a while since we had real good duo like these two young men. Lets hope one of these freshman coming in or Berry has a breakout season.

Best post ever.

Speaking of his shoulder, how is it? Any issues there or 100% good to go?

No, he's good. He's been 100% for some time. Nothing was repaired (when they scoped it in the winter); they just cleaned it out. They were just being precautionary in the Spring.

I can't wait to see him punish people this fall. I got bored the other day and pulled some old J. Lewis runs off you tube and Hurd should pattern his style. I had forgot how good he was and I wand to see Hurd blow up some defenders and break tackles like Lewis. Everyone needs to remember that Hurd was just a kid learning as he went week to week. He wants to be great and he wants to take us back to the top of the rankings.

Saw this kid a couple of weeks ago in a cut off T-shirt working out and he has gotten so much bigger. His arms and shoulders look to be where he's gaining all the muscle weight. His upper body is something else. Also he is at least 6'3 probably 6'4. If he can stay healthy (please lord) and Kamara give him a break every once in a while the sky is the limit.

Is that the new Nike "Power T" on the front of that truck?

I loved seeing him transition from falling down a little after contact to making defending players stay on the ground to avoid hitting him throughout the season.

Is he the Lightning or the Thunder in our RB equation?

Hurd is thunder. He hits hard, Kamara is lightning fast.

Kelly is a....... tornado? Because he spins?










Ok we'll just stick with Thunder and Lightning right now, we'll cross the Kelly bridge when we come to it.

His shoulder is fine.

I honestly don't think people realize how strong he is now.

He's gonna bulldoze some people this year.

You have a close relative that works at Skyline?

I know its an odd question but I am asking based on your screen name and the fact you have seen Jalen work out.

Dobbs hands off to Hurd who gets behind Big Drew.

Big Drew flattens a DT and then drops a LB.

Hurd cuts back, flattens another LB and runs all over a DB.

Hurd is gone into the Checkerboards.

GIVE HIM 6!!!

Ladies and Gentlemen, I'd have to say that was the best 1st play of the game for 75 yards we've seen in awhile.

What a great way to start the season that's looking like it just might become very special.

With his speed, at 17 stone, 19 hands... he's gonna make some DBs look like jockeys (riding into the end zone).
