@Anonymous0Troll @coys @spurs

Interesting. Yes our RB is a huge problem. I can see Skipp in that role - that's a good thought. Does he have the pace?

@hallenbeck @coys @spurs

Skipp isn't blazing, but he has shown good recovery pace. I suspect his speed might be comparable with Emerson's.

Recovery ability (needed for backs in this system) has a lot to do with anticipation/reading and positioning, which I think are strengths of Skipp.

I liked Emerson & Skipp starting, but if Skipp loses out to Sarr or Lo Celso and/or Emerson needs a rest...
