"We had that formation in place last season but never really used it," Harrison said. "I think it's going to be something that we use quite a bit this year. We had to find ways to get our running game working last year. With the guys we have in place this season, we should be able to compliment our passing game very well.

"I don't think teams will be able to view us as a one demionsional team."

Harrison added that with the inexperienced receiving crew Memorial has (three new starters), being able to run the ball will certainly take some pressure off the youngsters.

But the thing Harrison really likes about the guys in the backfield is that they are all team oriented and have great work ethic.

Filer and Sinette, a junior at 5-11 and 190 pounds, both said making the playoffs was the main goal.

"I don't want another 4-6 season," Sinette said. "I want this team to make the playoffs and for us to do something in the playoffs."

Sinette, who broke loose or carries of 42 and 19 yards in Saturday's scrimmage with Port Neches-Groves, added he would not mind having more than 1,000 all-purpose yards for the season.

He also said he learned a thing or two from Clay, a second-team all-district running back from last year who finished second in the league with 54 receptions and accumulated 422 yards receiving. Those 54 receptions rank second all-time for a single season in Memorial's records.

"I learned a lot watching him set up screens last year and how to follow blockers," Sinette said.

Filer, a transfer student, said he is happy to be playing with the Titans.

"I'm excited," he said. "Things move much faster here."

The senior added that he feels he adds a nice compliment to Sinette.

"He is a little more shifty than I am," he said.

Filer said he does not steer away from contact.

"I just want to get through the hole as fast as I can and then keep on running," he said.
