Why is DJamer Giddens Not Talked About More?

[catastrophe]

I have very little concept of what makes a good RB outside of stats. It is interesting though when it seems like one guy seemingly happens to get a lot more running room than others in a backfield. Seems like there’s a lot going on that doesn’t get much attention on the play by play unless it’s a big gain or big loss.

You gotta pay attention to the "wiggle" is what we old ball coaches say.

Joe Hall had 4-5 pretty stellar games at K-State...

Aaaahhhh! The Nick, Vic, and Thick backfield was fun as hell.

Indeed.

My son's HS coach always said that the RB needs to "spin-off" tackles.  I noticed Decuse would spin off tackles quite a bit during his break-free type runs.

My rule of thumb is that 90% of running backs are basically fungible.  5% at the top and 5% at the bottom.  Give or take.

this sounds accurate. they're all pretty fast, strong, have some wiggle, have 2 eyes and can see when there is space in front of them. maybe it's the little things like blocking and catching the ball that is more important.

I am too young to fully remember Joe Hall but watching those highlights he looks like a pulling guard who was handed the ball then BOOM....Did not expect such a burst from an athlete with a gut.

Joe was fun but wasn’t actually good. Obviously the novelty of a fat guy RB was good and pure. But I don’t think he ever made a play in his career that some non fat guy RB wouldn’t have made and probably made better.

He made a spinning one hand catch in the flat that was jaw dropping for a guy his size. I believe it was against NU at home.

Let’s get back to Giddens talk fellas. I got a feeling he’s gonna have a pretty good day.

We'll be talking about him being a 1,000 yard back sooner than later.

Tried to find the original post of it, but this is all I can find. I love DJamer.
