Pulling for the new backup RB

[badgervike]

I think its his changes of speed he seems like he wants to run in little bursts,  instead of balls out and then hard on the breaks like some backs,  he sees a hole hits it then lets off,  sees another crease hits it then lets off,  until its time to just flat out get what you can or try for the edge/house then he gives what he can.  allows blockers time to do their jobs without getting blasted from behind.  One run I recall he was actually helping set up his block as he flashed one way and then ran off the blockers opposite hip basically creating the engagement.  Things that are taught at the grade school level,  sometimes that get forgotten as guys get older.

Probably true but it made him look a little tentative to me as he waited for the hole to open.  The great ones hit the holes at full speed. I'm not a big fan of Chandler so hoping Scott or someone else take his spot.

I think the great ones show patience and let the hole develop before bursting through. Especially zone runners. In fact, I think hitting the holes at full speed before the hole is there has to be coached out of some young backs. I haven't seen enough of Scott to know how good or bad he is at any of this, but I was very impressed with his vision.

...or let the holes develop, then hit them. Nobody I can remember did this better than Le'Veon Bell in his Pittsburgh years.

Barry Sanders.
Scott had good vision but the line gave him some good holes to run through as well. The problem is, appears Scott can't pick up the blitz any better than Chandler yet. At least he had a whiff in last weeks game.

well is anybody had troubles picking up the blitz for Cousins,  its not getting any easier,  SD moved around a little,  but JJ looks like he is playing hide and seek back there,  when he starts moving around its going to be really hard on the blockers since the D can watch the QB,  the OL just has to try and react to what they cant anticipate.
