Worth 8.7 Mill

[Boomergump]

MM and DM are completely different types of backs. It's not apples to apples so it's hard to say who is better. To some, the homerun threat is the deciding factor and to others it's more of a power back being the deciding factor.

Both are legit ballers imo.

Agreed.

This thread has made me wish we had a season highlight reel of DM. Didn't see anything on Youtube yet.

Who's gonna make my day?

Precisely. I have read many a Swarm fan go on and on about the tough MM run against UGAg breaking tackles etc (and rightfully so) while lamenting his departure. Well, heck, I have been thinking, didn't DM produce about 8 or 10 similar runs over the course of the season?

The use of that particular run as an example, which I originally posted (because I'm awesome), was because so many were insisting that MM had no power and couldn't run through tackles. As if that talk was necessary to legitimize DM.

Exhibit A put that crap to rest real quick.

MM and JD both had a couple of highlight reel runs where they trucked or dragged defenders. I hit a homerun once in a little league baseball game.

Warning track power.

What was nesbitt in 2009?

Mills is a mauler. Second level wants nothing to do with him. He runs alot like joe frank burns but may be more put together.

He reminds me of this dude:

That's a solid comparison. PJ ran downhill better than any Tech back I've seen.

Watch how mills runs. His body lean, arm
motion and leg action. Just like burns....this is what i refer too.

Pj daniels was awesome too, but mills for me is a spitting image of burns style.

Just made it, it's the first one I've ever done so if anyone wants to use the film I've already cut to make it better, feel free. My DSL is terrible so I had to make it on my iPhone.

Mills is the kinda guy that wears down a D over the course of a game and by the 4th qtr is unstoppable. To me, that is just as awesome and exciting as a guy who can break off a 80 yd run because he's fast.

Sure would have been nice to have both ...and kept MM

What will be interesting in 2017 is how much MJ gets used inside the 5 yard as opposed to Mills. If you look at that Mills highlight, a good number of his TDs were in that zone. With MJ and his size, we'll see more QB follows and midlines.

MM was a unique talent at BB, closet thing to Dwyer that we've had. MM has all the tools to make it in the NFL. Mills will be more of a LaGarett Blount type RB when he gets to the league.

Of the two, I'm glad we got Mills.

Definitely, Mills fits the offense a lot more. MM may have 15 carries for 80 yards but one carry may be 60 yards and the offense would stall on several drives, DM may have that same number where his longest carry may be 15 yards. DM makes our defense better by keeping them on the sideline.

I will say MM really came into form towards the end of last year and wish him nothing but the best.

If the backup quarterback is the most popular player on team, is the transferred running back the second most popular?

 

[Milwaukee]

God I miss Wes Durham. His voice is Georgia Tech imo.

 

[SidewalkJacket]

THANKS!!! That was great! And even though several of those runs were the result of great blocking and big holes, you can see that DM isn't just a battering ram. He has vision, quick cut ability, and he's ALWAYS moving forward even while cutting.

It is SO fun to go back and revisit these 2 RBs! What a feeling it must be when you clear the LOS and see nothing but green ahead of you!
