Shivers has plenty of power straight ahead. Something makes him really vulnerable East-West, though. Always thought it was a balance issue

Good point.

And too...after watching him run during games, he is great plowing through DBs one on one, but when running thru gaps between the tackles meeting DL and LBs, he tends to get stopped more easily. He has what they call 'stiff hips', which makes him more of N/S runner, and as you pointed out.. much less effective E/W bc he takes him a little time to cut back upfield.

I appreciate him sticking it out, when he could have left too like all the other RBs so in a sense I hope he fits better into Harsin's offense of 'Power and running downfield'.
