I don't know that I agree on his lateral movement or elusiveness. I think those are some of his strengths. Maybe we just have different definitions. I don't like trying to plow him through the teeth of a defense because it seems to me he's way better in the open field. If he ever gains back the form I saw when he was in Cincy, he could easily end up replacing Richardson as the change of pace back. But yeah, with Mason on board, his chances are quickly diminishing.
The guy from Cincy and the guy we drafted are like two completely different players. There is always that chance the game hasn't slowed down for him, yet, and he's just a bit hesitant out there. It's not like we've gave him a ton of touches, far from it.
I must say his tape actually looked a somewhat better than I remember. Our G's sucked as bad as I remember, too. I remember we were all noticing how much ground the interior was giving up last year. Boy, Snisher really put an emphasis on that, didn't they?
It was hard to tell last year if our WR's were really bad or the line sucked. Early on it was a mix of both. I think it's getting ironed out.
