[QUOTE="Skeptic, post: 148816, member: 2175"] Not sure I agree with this. That was not his only long burst -- I forget the other of similar distance -- and maybe the time of covering 69 yards was extended because he veered to the sideline from the middle of the field, then had to get rid of a pesky obstruction, and then had to tightrope for 20 yards or so to stay inbounds. In rough numbers I would guess that 69-yard run was more like 80-85. I think he has plenty of speed. What might hurt him at the NFL level is the same as other B backs: not a track record of catching balls -- not saying he can't, just that he hasn't had to -- and pass blocking. (From a culture of 12-15 passes a game, max, to chuck and duck 40 pass-blocking assignments, has to be trying.) Again, not that he can't. He just hasn't had to and can't show tape. And if there is a more conservative collection of coaches in the universe, nobody has seen them. Kelly is about the only one who seems open to change. The rest of 'em think change is losing their jobs. [/QUOTE]
