Yall are really suggesting a 6'1 QB get reps at RB? LOL . what's wrong with a 6'1" rb? adrian peterson is a 6'1" rb and he's one of the nfl's "all time best"... The difference is that Petterson been playing RB his entire life and is also built for it. You might as well take a DB and put them back there since all the seems to be a qualification(for some) is speed and athleticism. This is reaching. Again, what's up with Boyce?

I mentioned 6'1 to snap all the people talking about putting him at RB back into reality. 6'1 RBs aint even the norm and yall talking about giving someone who is a 6'1 QB reps at RB. It makes no sense at all. The young man aint probably took a direct blow in practice since POP Warner. That's why I brought it up. And he a legit 6'1. Its like yall forgot he aint built like a RB AT ALL. Its waaaaay more emergency RBs on the team besides him.

Martin only had 14 carries in the game. He’s far from being overworked. Ever since Broadway and Washington got here, we’ve only played 2 running backs for the vast majority of the snaps. We do chicken

I was just about to say that even though it says 6'1 on the roster, dude is tall! I'm 6'2 and he's at least my height or maybe an inch taller(as far as I can tell based on how close I've been). Which makes it even less sense that he would get reps at RB, LOL.

I personally never said make him a full fledged running back; he is currently listed as number 3 on the QB depth chart. So if its a close game he is probably not seeing the field. We did not see him on the field at Elon or Charleston Southern. I think he needs to be on the field for 10-15 plays per game. How you gone get him on the field if he is #3 on depth chart???
The best example I can think of Taysom Hill (6'2 220) for the Saints. He is on the field at least 10 plays per game half of his plays are at QB but you also see him at slot and H-back. Hill is #3 QB for the saints but Sean Payton realizes his athleticism is to much of an asset for him to just call in plays and wear a headset.
Again he is #3 on the depth chart not #2 and go look at Ifedi's high school tape he was a dual threat QB so I am sure taking a few hits aint nothing he is not use to.

I don't care what position he plays just get him on the field. Because a talent is a terrible thing to waist or something like that.LOL Example the kid that started at QB for Carolina 2 years ago is now there starting linebacker. Not saying make that kinda move but just get him on the field. Let's go outside the box

Its like yall forgot he aint built like a RB AT ALL. Its waaaaay more emergency RBs on the team besides him. so basically you're saying ifedi didn't take any direct hits against dsu? you trying to call dsu defenders "pop warner"? also, guess who was 6'3" tall? try "eric dickerson" on for size, he was an all time great nfl rb. and what about brandon jacobs? you know who he is? he played rb for the ny giants, stood 6'4" tall and was a "beast". even jim brown, perhaps the best rb in the entire history of the game stood 6'2" tall. so i don't know where you get this notion that rb's can't be tall, some of the all time best rb's were as tall or taller than ifedi. don't know about you, but i have not seen an aggie rb other than martin who looked better running the football this season than ifedi looked running the ball against dsu, period. if i'm wrong, name one aggie rb "this season" who looked better other than martin...

Why did Ifedi look good running the ball against DSU?

now, i know dsu ain't the best meac team to judge from. but to me ifedi showed very good running ability, looked "confident", looked "very strong" running the ball particularly "between the tackles", and he showed good speed. contrary to monster, i actually like his "size" as a rb, makes him hard to bring down given that dude ain't light in the doggone butt! listed at 213lbs!
i see no reason why he can't play "limited snaps" at rb if he and/or the coaches wanted him to. certainly his "height" is not a reason to keep him from playing rb...

Idefi moved up to #2 on depth chart after the Del game. The other QB played scared, had no QB presence and can't out pass me.
Idefi is tall- at least 6'3 or 6'4.
He is our only hope as a back up qb. I would not make him a running back although they ran the hell out of him Thursday night.
Hi is a QB not a running back in my novice mind.

This is a sidebar but what happened to the RB recruit Cameron Hutchinson who Coach was high on and is the Baldwin kid from Savannah in school. Last what is the prospect for QB next year, as with a solid QB next years team may be even better than this year's squad. Is there anyone in the transfer portal at QB?

It makes no senses to me to use K. Ifedi as a RB. His every waking moment should be working to become a better QB. In every practice he needs to be working on his footwork, his throwing motion, reading defenses, working through receiver progressions, timing routes, etc. On second thought, maybe he should run back punts also!

I think that with Ifedi's athleticism it's must that you have a package for him. It's up to the OC to find a way to get the young man on the field!
