You think he has a yellow stripe in front of em like we see on TV?
You think he knows the exact place to get to on the field for a 1st down if he's not near the sideline?

He's fighting for yards and doesn't see what you see and you don't see what he sees.

Yes. They all do it from time to time, but you had better pick up the first down if you don't break it.

Once again,I've seen multiple great players do the exact same thing.

No it's not. have you watched him from the past two years?

He's averaged over over 6 ypc carry since he's been here. Do you think he FINALLY learned how to run this year? It's a lazy narrative and I was one of the few on this board this off season who knew this guys talent and saw him being a big contributor if Monken used him properly.

ETA:He also had a bad ankle almost the entire season last year as well as being banged up in '18.

You think the guy was the top RB in perhaps the best HS region in the country because he "falls down on first contact?"

Key words:

Monken taking advantage of his talents. Pretty easy to see the difference.

If he doesn't he doesn't need to be out there. Even in High School it was drummed in our heads to know how far you need to get for a first down. That is rule #1.

Doesn't mean it is a good habit. I am seeing "great" players calling for a fair catch inside the 10 yard line these days. Doesn't mean it is a good move.
I see ball carriers (RBs and WRs) carry the ball loosely and not covering it up in traffic. Doesn't mean it is a good habit to be in.

No. But every ball carrier out there has years of experience. Do you honestly believe they do everything well and correctly?

Everybody knows he has talent. that's easy to see. But just because somebody has talent does not mean they develop great or even good habits.
