    I thought Salvon played great, hopefully he always plays like that.

    I dont think running between the tackles is the problem with him. It has more to do with when he makes his cut. If he gets the ball and immediately cuts he's good, if he fucks around and tries to be Gaskin he gets stuck in the mud. Hopefully he can break the habit, but its happened too many times to feel good about it

    I see some of what you are saying. But running between the tackles sometimes means seeing a hole and hitting it, or anticipating a hole and hitting that space, and not cutting first.
    Sometimes, especially small backs, the very thing to do is get in there and get lost in the bodies. How many times did you see Gaskin literally disappear where you can't see him for a second and then out of nowhere he's second level. Cutting before hitting the LOS isn't always the right thing. This shit isn't teachable either. Your brain either works that fast or it doesn't. Gaskin was not elite physically in really any way except maybe balance and toughness ... arguably in suddenness and burst. But he was absolutely elite in how fast his brain works. I remember an interview with Emit Smith, another guy who was not blessed with elite speed or size, but had balance and vision for 5 backs. He said something to the effect that when 22 people are flying around in different directions in front of you, most people just see chaos. He saw flow ... he saw how all those people moving was a pattern of sorts that was going to lead to space here or there and he anticipated it and made sure he was where the space would be. Sometimes it's cut and sometimes it's keep going in the same direction. Changes on each play. Can't teach that. You either have that vision and feel or you don't. Ahmed doesn't seem to have that.

    Ahmed is good. He seems to be getting better. He does lack in some areas. The end.

    Between 1st, 2nd team and honorable mentions more than half the starting rbs in the conference are “all conference”, so is that really saying anything?

    LOL. I bet my buddy it would take less than 5 minutes for some meat head to come back with NO factual arguments, but make this a personal thing or some BS about people being too "PC."

    I WON THE BET! THANK YOU!
    Putting the NO factual arguments line into the rotation.
