Tank is absolutely a game-breaker all of the sudden. Again, I will completely retract all previous statements made about him last year - but he has completely proven me wrong.

He looks extra springy but very decisive when hitting running lanes - and he doesn't go down easily. Once again, I strongly believe he should be the feature back and then spelled by ETN. He's exactly what our offense needs in a competent running game and can make our O-line look better than they might be while. Not to mention helping Lawrence out and balancing this offense by always keeping them "on-schedule" with positive run plays.

Thank you Cartavious, thank you.

There was a play in the 2nd half where he ran it up the middle, and then spun out, then bounced backwards for what looked like 5 yards, and then got the 5 yards he lost back.  All for a gain of like 3.  But that play was amazing.  Tank is not just a tank.  He's got something special there.  The play I'm referring to was something I haven't seen since... Heck I don't know when.  But he lept and sprinted 15 yards around the field for a 5 yard gain.  

Tank was doing special things this whole game.

I know exactly the play you're talking about and that's what prompted me to say how he looks "extra springy".

That play looked like something straight out of a Madden video game and every move/juke looked smooth - all without losing speed. Dare I say, almost Barry Sanders-esque (not going there but you know...)

He's doing things ETN used to do now, all while having a power rushing skillset as well. He just doesn't go down on first contact like ETN which as I mentioned earlier in the thread, that it would help this offense out better than ETN's current output.
