First thing Jaydn Ott brings to the RB room? Consonants, and lots of 'em

"A powerful and fast back, but someone who may not translate to being a three down back ever, which for Cal isn’t necessarily an issue."

Why is that - what do you see him not being not able to improve upon in college to where he would be a workhorse back? You compared him to Nick Chubb (!) and Hassan Haskins (!) who is an All-American who had 270 carries last season.

If he's got strength, speed, and cut-back ability - how does that make him "one-dimensional?"

We thought Moore would be the answer but TBH he lacks speed and became a fumbler. I hope someone breaks out as a 1000 yard guy.

Should be a good corps of running backs. Stredick needs to get some snaps. You can't teach speed and the kid is an absolute burner. Not sure why most Cal sites and fans have penciled in Plummer as the presumptive starter at QB, the competition is open albeit likely between Plummer and Millner.

Cal hasn't had a 1,000 yard rusher since Patrick Laird in 2017. That needs to change if the Bears have any chance of breaking out of the doldrums on offense. I keep thinking back to that break-through Cal team in 1990 when Bruce Snyder told the media in fall camp that his team would be physical with a nasty running game. That team ended up with not one, but two 1,000 rushers. It didn't hurt that three O-lineman from that team went on to play in the NFL.

I don't see any of that in the current makeup of this team and its coaching staff. Hope I am wrong.
