I guess I'm not sold, the colts have had the worst Run D for like ten years.  Watching yeldon play there were a lot of plays were I thought to myself, I gerhart was in with his just hit the hole style the run would have went for 4-5 more yards..

 

The big thing I've noticed was that Yeldon will get to the hole or right before then stutter step, or as the casters like to say "seabird" around waiting for something to happen.  On the majority of plays it cost him a  5-6 yard gain.  He is looking for a homerun every play which is great, but the best backs like MJD and AP took on the contact and made the defender their B[BAD WORD REMOVED].  Yeldon seems like he's looking to avoid contact if he can to hit a homerun and that might work in college but not as much in the NFL. 

 

Looking at his highlight tape from the pole, literally what I said comes to fruition.  No highlights were he stutters or dances around in the backfield, just where he hits the hole with power and decisiveness and in almost every time it resulted in 5-10 yard gains.  Hopefully they emphasis this on tape this week so that he fades into more of that style of runner.
