Duke gained weight last year and lost some speed, don't turn him into a fullback. As great as he was before the injury it was surprising to see him get run down several times. Speed kills don't lose it by bulking up.

I hope we can get him 20-25 carries a game and also allow him to work in the passing game.

I'm ok with him getting a few less carries per game (like slamming him into the line right after he breaks a long run) if it means getting him the ball in space.

All of this. Didn't get hm nearly enough touches in the passing game last season. Was Coley's biggest fault in my opinion. We ran enough verticals to clear people out, even an 8 year old on Madden knows that is when you start hitting your back on the wheel route or a square in.

I only recall him getting run down by by the kid from UNC... And that kid has serious wheels (butch recruit).
 
If he doesn't stop sitting on his heals with his feet planted when the hole isn't there he will break an ankle again this year. It was a miracle he didn't get break one sooner as many times as he gets rolled back. He has to learn to just drop the head and shoulders and try to fall forward.

Reggie Bush played at 205 so I don't see an issue
 
He didn't get run down in the SSU game. The dude had to run East/West about 34 times during that return.
