[QUOTE="dressedcheeseside, post: 437671, member: 77"] Nesbitt is one of my favorite Jackets of all time. As you say, his value to the team was not as a passer or even as an option master. He was a beast, pure and simple. When we needed a handful of yards to extend a drive, he was automatic. He was also a leader that I believe elevated the play of teammates because they believed in him so much. I think TaQuon is similar in that he is not a great passer or an option master. He's not a beast, but he has playmaking ability that adds great value to the offense. Another way he's like Nesbitt is he's tough as nails and the team follows his leadership. I'm really expecting him to round out his game this year. He showed flashes in both the passing and pitch game but was not consistent. He tended to call his own number when there was more potential in the pitch and he was inconsistent in the read game as well. To be fair, a lot of our offensive woes had to do with guys not named Taquon Marshall. It doesn't take much to upset any given play in our scheme. With 11 moving parts, all it takes is one guy missing his mark to turn a big gain into a small one or a loss. With a full year under his and his surrounding cast's belt, I fully expect the consistency to move in the positive direction. How much, we'll just have to wait and see. One aspect I really hope he'd adopt from JT's game is the quick pitch. JT was a master at this and I remember countless times last year where a quick pitch would have turned a play from a loss into a gain, many times a huge gain. [/QUOTE]
