No worries they don't usually play in shorts.  What I want him to do is learn to pick up the blitz better. That is what kept him off the field much of last year.

That along with ball security on the ground combined with butter finger's in the passing game. Hopefully the game slows down for him a bit this year. He's a high draft pick. They need to get a lot out of him in year two. Same for Strange.

This is Tank's 2nd year so he has the early part of this season to get it together, but he's gonna be out of time shortly after that as it shouldn't take a running back 2+ seasons to figure it out.  Would be really nice if he surprises and turns into a guy that gets hot from time to time and carries the rock more than ETN for a few games a year.

Yeah. Not expecting the old glory days of having a dynamic 1-2 punch like we had for a few years with Taylor and Jones-Drew. But, I would be happy if we got a T.J Yeldon / Corey Grant type of production out of him, circa 2017. 500 - 700 yards in rushing/receiving, a few nice plays here and there. 

Hell, give me the first few weeks of 2022 when it was Robinson and Etienne running pretty effectively as a duo prior to the trade deal. We just need more than 132 yards out of him. That's for sure.
