Unconquered

If he keeps it together and pulls it together.

One thing is certain I hope he is more durable with his size. CT was 5'7 " according to the combine!

Pender has more talent than Freeman or Wilder, so its up to him.

I personally want Wilder to be our feature back

I really wish wilder would take over too nothing against freeman I like him a lot but wilder can absolutely wear a defense down and then that's where you can get the big home runs from guys like pender and green, and possibly bracy. Could you imagine a team getting ran all over by wilder and wearing them out and then giving the ball to bracy on a reverse and watch them try to catch him.

I agree with you fsu. I think FSU REALLY missed Chris and his big play ability after he got hurt. If Mario can give FSU that element, it would be HUGE.

Pender was a 10.5 guy in hs. he's got pretty good size at about 5'10 195ish. homerun speed and better quicks than our other two backs.

with that said, if i had to choose between him or Freeman right now, i take the guy with 1,200 yards rushing and ~15 tds at the d1 level over the one yet to take a snap.

i too want Wilder as the starter right now. 6'2 230ish with that strength and ridiculous balance and athleticism all day. he won't take it 80, but he'll pound out 5-15 yarders all game and wear out the back 7 by the end of the third quarter.

i hope we see more backfields with 2 backs (Wilder/Freeman/Pender/Green) and the option to run to either side with either rb out in front cut blocking on the edge.

Don't sleep on Green. He's every bit as talented as Pender and twice as mature.

All 3 will spend time in Jimbo's dog house thus none will ever seperate

Green, Wilder, Pender, Freeman is a hell of a backfield! Now we just need to fine a stud FB to replace Pryor. Will it be Beverly or Abrams?

I was wondering about this as well, Pender can't give us what Wilder Jr can but he can possible out do what Freeman can, but DFree is very talented it all depends on who steps up and makes the most their opportunities hopefully it's a tough decision for CJF. Then we have Ryan Green, my gosh we did not need Alex Collins if what we have pans out, we have enough horses

IMO, Freeman is our best RB. Pender has shown nothing yet and Even coming out of HSI liked Freeman better. He played and dominated against much better competition. Pender is faster but I have no issues with Freeman being our feature back.
