Quote:Gurley has better hands than Freddy. Freddy is way smoother.

If there is one thing that "disappointed" me about FT (aside from injury history) it was his hands.

 

The thing is, coming out of a pass happy school like Florida, you'd figure he had good hands.

 

I remember his rookie season he caught a deep TD pass down the sideline against the Ravens, beating Rod Woodson.  At that point, I felt he would be a good receiving threat out of the backfield, in addition to being a good running threat.

 

But it seems over the years, his hands became less reliable.

 

But that is nit picking.  He was a great RB and was fun to watch him play.  He had power (see the run vs. Tennessee that put him over 10,000, vs. Bo Orlando on season ending Thursday night game vs. the Steelers, speed, vision and change of direction (any number of runs).
