[QUOTE="CuseJacket, post: 259616, member: 274"] I created this thread separate from the original JT thread to focus on his speed / acceleration / decisiveness, ask if others thought he looked materially different from earlier in the year, and project what we should expect going forward. Hoping to keep it there. But I'd be remiss to not offer my opinion about a couple unrelated themes that are popping up across a number of threads including this one. 1) CPJ recruited JT. Every coach wants players that bail them out. Deshaun Watson, Lamar Jackson, Marquise Williams, Manziel, etc made plays outside the framework of their offenses. It is what it is and kudos for CPJ on this specific recruiting win. This does not and should not detract from yesterday's win, which feels like a negative twist toward CPJ/his scheme rather than what I interpret as a positive. 2) Our offense set up JT for success yesterday. His two touchdown runs - 83 yards and 22 yards - were designed runs. The first was an option keeper, designed to get quick/shifty playmakers in space. Guess what? Duke sold out and JT made them pay. The second was a QB draw that Shamire Devine could have run through. This is the design of the offense folks. JT had a 100+ yard rushing game without the scrambles. And the scrambles were accomplished by Duke selling out elsewhere. He took what was given. To steer back on track, I thought that the plays JT made were noticeably more assertive and included a burst in the open field, versus the looking around / trying not to get hit. Hope to see that continue, particularly his health and confidence more than anything. [/QUOTE]
