Post by: PoetWarrior on May 22, 2007, 06:19:15 PM: I kept wanting to tell myself that he wasn't as good as he looked last year (I'm not sure why...)

but he really was that good.

Tremendous player and doesn't get enough credit for being awesome.

I think if he's carrying 20+ times a game, we'll lose.

If he's carrying 20+, odds are good that he breaks at least two of those carries for touchdowns. The only bad thing I see in that is if he's carrying that many times, JJ would have to be hurt. :frown:

Post by: purplehiatt on May 23, 2007, 08:09:32 AM: His height will not hurt him...I think as a running back you have more of an advantage the shorter you are...I don't like tall running backs.
Short running backs cannot be seen behind 6'5" 290lb o-linemen, have a lower pad level, and typically very strong legs. Of course I'm a bit biased since I'm 5'5".

Post by: asava on May 23, 2007, 09:09:02 AM: we'll probably see a good rotation of both jj and lp. our running backs are one of the highlights of our offense, imo.

Post by: KSU4ME on May 23, 2007, 09:29:48 AM: Maybe not this year, but definately next year. Patton gets so much out of his carries it will be tough to keep the ball out of his hands that much.
