He's always been very good at this, it's a comfort thing. He sneaks out well, catches smoothly and then he's in his best venue, open space with blockers. Sine HS, he's great at it.

He's got the same issue a lot young backs have....spends too much time stutter stepping. He needs to get his shoulders squared and look to get north/south.

He's faked himself outta several yards.

I agree. He seems to set his blocks up nicely, has soft hands and is smooth in the open field. This is probably the skill set that made AR covet Shaddy in this year's draft.

A healthy Westbrook scares me more. However, I have not seen enough of McCoy to really say what I think of him.

I say it everytime he runs. He spends way too much time trying to juke instead of just going. He loses yards doing this.

There's a time and place for it...but it's not most runs. They gotta teach him that the homeruns will come...get what you can though.

For me, local HS star. Then to Pitt, on TV all the time here.

That's pretty cool. When I lived in Midland, TX for a couple of years I got to go see Cedric Benson play for Midland Lee against Odessa Permian (team from Friday Night Lights). Benson was a beast in high school. The night I saw him he rushed 30 times for over 300 yards and was just killing people. He was a man among boys. He led Midland Lee to 3 straight Texas 5A State Championships.
