[QUOTE="TechPhi97, post: 148452, member: 158"] Synjyn wasn't even a Synjyn clone at the beginning of last year. He was a tentative runner who ran upright - not a great fit for B-Back. However, the light went on about halfway through the game that he had to start due to Laskey's injury, and he just [U]changed[/U]. He started running with a focus to hit holes hard, and to get low, and to really drive through people. The change was shocking, but it turned him from an athlete into a B-Back. The same can be said about Laskey last year. He was very effective in some games and less effective in others. The difference was his attitude and focus on running the right way. For years he had an issue running too high - he would get stopped dead and driven back alot. In the Miami game he literally decided to be a different runner, got low and plowed people. Totally different attitude, and different results. You could ultimately tell he was going to have a good game from his first 3-4 carries. My estimation is that Skov is just as good an athlete as Days or Laskey. He's a football player. If he decides that he's going to run hard, hit holes fast, and play physical then he could be a nice addition to the rotation back there and I would expect he'll have some success. He had to buy into the appropriate style for our offense. If he does I see no reason why he couldn't succeed. [/QUOTE]
