Think how badly we would suck this year without Taylor. i mean, forget about the running. Just imagine what would happen to Nunes if Taylor weren't an extra blocker. He's now in his fourth year of doing it well. Barry probably never had to block in his entire HS career. Hell, a HS coach that wasn't fired first would be killed by a mob of spectators for endangering the runner sent from heaven. Barry J. is also pretty light, so a year of development AND blocking fundamentals wouldn't hurt.
Related to everyone being impatient to see Barry play. Whatever happened to Wilkerson? The guy is big enough to really be a hammer but he never seems to really commit to a hole and turn upfield. Kinda dances a lot when he should be going north/south. I know he was hurt, but he just doesn't seem to have Taylor's decisiveness. Waste of a good physical specimen if he just never gets it in gear. I wonder if he'll be displaced by Remound Wright who insiders say is the real deal. Not quite as fast as Kelsey Young, not as big as Wilkerson, no marvelous moves like Sanders...but able to run and slash in traffic.
