Not gonna break a lot of tackles if you run right into the pile. Ain't nothing wrong with 3-5yard runs, it's a big part of that ten minute drive on Sunday and many of the drives we've had this season.

I've never seen JRob as the home run hitter that Taylor or MJD were, but he's darn steady. I don't think anyone would characterize him as elusive, which is a big part of breaking tackles. Again, he's doing what he does - get yards, get chains moving, occasionally get a huge hole and rip up a 50 yard TD.

Out of curiosity, how do those numbers compare with his prior pre-injury seasons? Were the last three weeks cherry-picked to make that stat more prevalent than it may be? Are we discounting the first three weeks' defenses as anomalies or better/worse than the last three's, so as to say that he's doing worse against easier D, or that his early results were excusable because the Ds were so awful? I don't trust partial stats to tell a big-picture story.

If that works, I'm all for it. Bottom line is the opposing QB needs to be in the turf (without a penalty, Travon! )

Before his injury, I think he was much better at breaking tackles and getting yards before contact. I was worried that JRob coming back early from his injury would lead to a slow decline in his play this season. I was shocked he came back as early as he did.

And before TebowHomer says I have always hated JRob, I definitely haven't. He was a very good running back before his injury and I was shocked they took ETN because they already had JRob. But once he tore his achilles, I was worried. It is extremely rare for players to come back from an achilles tear and it's almost a death sentence for running backs.

I call bs on this.  He's never ran faster than the 50 yarder he broke.  Most of his runs are now runs up the middle, before this year he was getting Etiennes carries and a more variety of run calls.  When he's in, if a run is called its likely going to be up the middle.  It's comical you think he's on the decline because of a tweet you seen about the last 3 games. You have always doubted him since his rookie year and I've called you out on it multiple, it's nothing new. You're the only one on here that thinks he's on the decline, shocker lol
