Quote:You got it backwards there, Freddy was first, not AP, and I don't think they are really all that simular. AP is all power, Freddy was slick and strong, and agile. He didn't just bulldoze everyone.
thats what made him such a threat and a pain to tackle... he had the strength to flattin a person and he occasionally would but he was about as shifty as they come...im not gonna lie, i didnt like him towards the end of his time here cause i would constantly here the RB's on the teams i played for in school getting drilled about hitting the hole hard no matter what was there and  imo fred became notorious for dancing before he hit the hole... my buddy was the running back at my high school and he pointed that out to me one game and i couldn't help but notice it on most of the plays he had there towards the end.. that was my only fault on the guy(well, that and he went to UF lol)... other than that he was one of the most explosive backs ive ever had the privilege to watch in person... he brought every type of rb together into one hell of an athlete and then topped it all off by being an incredibly classy guy off the field...i was stoked when he retired a jag and it was a privilege to have him spend his career in jax.

 

while i was typing this i was just thinkin what this team would be if we drafted fred again now... i dont think there is any runner in the league besides MAYBE ap that i would take over young fred... crazy awesome thought lol.
