McIntosh & Milton both have better balance and vision than Zeus.


I don't know why the vision knock refuses to die. Zeus has fine vision, and more power and goal line determination than any other RB we have. He has given us more first downs after he was seemingly stopped.

That said, McIntosh and Milton have different skill sets. they seem faster and have a little more wiggle than Zeus, but Zeus is a great RB. He is very underappreciated by many Georgia fans.

We could more easily do without Cook than Zeus. I have criticized Cook on several occasions and he seems to have fixed what i criticized him for. but McIntosh and Milton both have good speed (Although not as much as Cook) and both can catch the ball out of the backfield.

Zeus has a two skills no other RB on our team has. The drive to score and sheer unadulterated power. He packages that with good speed and vision. (No matter what some may think.)

Zeus is the kind of back that would flourish being a featured back. If he got the ball 15 carries in the first half he would make the defense quit. He punishes you when you try to tackle him.

I pity the player that meets him head on in the open field. Zeus might actually kill him.

If he stays healthy he will have an outstanding career in the NFL. Well.....he will put up huge numbers for 3-4 years then will be done. He won't be able to stand up to the pounding a RB takes in the NFL that runs like he does.

ETAA
The way he jumps up and claps his hands after being tackled gives the defenders the impression that he wants the ball again and he wants to take your (the defender) head off. it flat out demoralizes the defense.

Against Cincinatti? I completely disagree and going into next year, I'll
choose Cook to complement what we'rs trying to do with our offense.
