But the good news is that Leggett looks even more promising.Nope. Was bemoaning Custis not working out. Guy could have been a stud.

People don't remember the endless "what's wrong with AA" threads that year early. Then he went off. I don't think he is AA in RB skill, but I still think his best football is ahead. The more JT goes off, the wider the lanes will be up the gut.Laskey's averaging 5.2 ypc and 79 ypg. Only 684 yards to go to 1000. And I expect the blocking to pick up just enough to deliver that soon. Roughly the same schedule that Allen was on in his senior year.
In short, he's doing just fine, thank you very much.
To me, the dive with Laskey is like when Logan Thomas was QB sneaking. They both get hit at the line and power through with a lot of forward lean for 7-12 yards, consistently. Hard to complain about effort and production like that, esp. given Laskey's ball security.I loved Dwyer dont get me wrong, but I dont think people remember much about how many times Dwyer got stopped at the line of scrimmage. I actually think Laskey is better than Dwyer in the first 3 yards. Looking back at stats wont tell you that cause Dwyer would bust off a couple of 40 yard runs and end up with 130 yards
I don't think we've seen everything from Laskey either. His biggest problem so far this year, is that defenses are completely selling out on the dive and making us beat the other team with the QB and the AB. Once people decide to focus on another aspect, which will happen with the type of season that JT is having, Laskey's numbers will improve. That's the pleasure of this offense when run correctly.yes I would like an NFL RB in the backfield, as would every team in college football. I just don't think it's valid to say we're seeing everything we can see from Laskey, or to lament the fact that he may or may not be able to play at the next level.
you're right! I am a huge CP fan this season and really want him to be part of a special season for the Jackets. Love his perseverance.Thought this thread was about CP! Hope to see him blocking and running on the 4th.
Well, to be fair, 3 of the 4 games we have played to date were the weakest teams on our schedule, so I would expect Laskey to be ahead of Allen's senior year pace.Laskey's averaging 5.2 ypc and 79 ypg. Only 684 yards to go to 1000. And I expect the blocking to pick up just enough to deliver that soon. Roughly the same schedule that Allen was on in his senior year.

Just comparing quotes out of camp.lol... really? what do you know that no one else does?
As in solid but do not get proper respect.Zack Laskey, the Tevin Washington of GT runningbacks.
You got it.As in solid but do not get proper respect.

Is that "the word on the skreet?" I wonder if it's past the point of no return for the burning of his red shirt in CPJ's mind? We're almost at the midseason point.Fwiw, multiple current players believe that Leggett > Custis on the field. Again take it for what it's worth, but definitely interesting.
