OTF Premium Film Room: RB Hollywood Smothers in the Texas Offense | Thursday 10:45 a.m.

Still laughing at how we stole him away from bama. They’ve been doing nothing but getting the belt from us lately. To our win in their stadium in 2024, to smothers and cam coleman.

the vision and cutback here is great. Smothers behind last year’s offensive line would have helped tremendously, given this was common place off the LOS.

Add in the breakaway speed. 

All i heard out of this is there’s a reason our “starting” backs from last year are not here anymore.

I would love to see the reverse end zone shot here. Because how did Smothers find a way out of this one in the backfield?

Regardless, patience is going to be a common theme here  

 

nice delay-draw miss direction kinda play

Those numbers concern me a bit and are part of what makes me feel hesitant on him being RB1. His production fell off significantly against quality opponents. 

That's a good point, and I wonder if their OL production (or lack of) had anything to do with it.

Boy, he can read and cut.

great clips CJ!

He's got an elite name to boot

Vision and lateral quickness are off the charts!

I know the reports have said they’re very high on Raleek, but I personally like Smothers film and running style more due to patience, vision, and his cutbacks. I think Smothers has been underrated and will show on gameday that he is a natural running back. Might not be as impressive of a summer workout guy as Raleek but seems like he’s just a football player. I see a lesser Jahmyr Gibbs when I watch Smothers. Big jump in competition this year so we’ll see if he’s as effective.

I've been thinking this too. The more I watch Smothers and look at our options the more I see this group as the 2023 version with Smothers being to our offense what Brooks was to that one and Raleek & Cooper being what Blue & Baxter were (if not better). Plus you've Coleman as your Mitchell, Wingo as a pseudo Worthy and Mosely as J-Whitt. Even Bishop getting some reps the way Johntay did (hopefully with a much better outcome). Just need Nick Townsend to develop into Sanders lite and we're off to the races.

I see a little bit of Leveon Bell in his game.
