Why is Ryan Christian starting over Aaron Brown..is GP pulling another motivation thing like he's doing with Henson?

I think it's either that, or perhaps the tailbacks are going to be used differently this year?

Christian is a really good athlete, and could be a great weapon for our O. But not carrying the ball 15-20 times a game up the middle.

I'm going to go with a combination of both. It certainly sounds like our offense will look different this year, and that certainly would explain utilizing Christians speed as an out of the backfield outside threat. It will also help that our line should be vastly improved.

Just my opinion, but i prefer, if possible, to be a run-based team. I don't think Christian skills are right for that, but I do trust GP in all things.

I also wouldn't rule out GP just trying to throw off ol rocky, I get the feeling they don't like each other.

You guys are overly optimistic about Ryan Christian. Two carrys a game tops.
