[QUOTE="Boomergump, post: 29317, member: 639"] Dwyer was an interesting back. He didn't look fast at all, until you realized that nobody ever caught him. I think the notion that CPJ was the only party that benefitted from the relationship is laughable. Go back and rewind the tape. You will see Dwyer running through massive gaps getting to the second level, where he thrives, solely because of the system. You will also see him on the counter pitch with a numbers advantage he would never have otherwise. Diesel made a lot of those yards, on the second half of runs, due to his own talent, but he got into space because of the system most of the time. I have said this before on other sites and I will say it here too, AA, ZL and DS were all better at getting yards 1-5 than Dwyer was. Yards 5-90 were no contest in JD's favor. I will venture to say that I believe JD got more yards in CPJ's system than he would have gotten in any other, period. He would have been good in a NFL style offense, but not as productive in terms of total yards. Some may disagree and that is fine. I just believe it to be true. [/QUOTE]
