[QUOTE="Techster, post: 310283, member: 360"] I don't think Dwyer gets enough credit for how physical he was. He was the complete BB, and even CPJ has said Dwyer was the perfect BB for his offense. Dwyer's "problem" was that he just made it look so easy. Look at his runs... he rarely got clean runs through the LOS, he was so powerful that he easily brushed off contact through the first level. DBs 1v1 in the secondary were usually mince meat. One guy was never bringing JD to the ground. He was such a gifted runner with good vision, and the ability to wrong foot defenders that he never really got credit for how difficult it actually is to do what he did. Mills depends more on his physical running style, but the truth is, Dwyer was so good at erasing angles that he rarely needed to lower his shoulders. When he did, defenders were more times than not laid to waste...and that stiff arm was a pro level stiff arm. Seriously, GT fans need to watch his highlights once a season to remind themselves of how spoiled we were that Dwyer was our first BB: [MEDIA=youtube]id=IyQTd7tRLzw;t=30[/MEDIA] I do agree that Mills is probably more of a power back and has more of a physical style...but Dwyer didn't need to depend on being as physical as Mills does, and Dwyer had it in him if he needed it.
