Boise RB out
Posted: Tue Sep 22, 2009 10:27 am
Saw on ESPN that one of Boise's RB's (forgot name) is out for year with torn ACL...Not sure where he stood in the 2 deep, but must've been playing quite a bit from what I could gather.
DJ Harper was the co-starter. He was a very fast/tough running type. Jeremy Avery (the other starter) is a smaller scatback quick RB who catches the ball well out of the backfield. Harper is being replaced with Doug Martin who is a little more of a bruiser with some speed in the open field. Martin also plays some safety and returns kicks.
Harper was having a very good start to the season and was on pace to record 1000 yards, but there is very good depth at RB and the Avery/Martin combo will be a very good one.
