Quote:I just got through watching lots of RB video. The dual-threat QB has killed the college football running game. Not a lot you can do with the ball running out of the shot-gun. The zone blocking stuff has offensive lines taking a side-step first, or a step back first. The offensive linemen are either being scrunched up or tossed. It's a clogged up mess to try and run from the shot-gun. The offensive lines are playing incredibly defensive.

 

We lack aggressiveness. Everybody lacks aggressiveness.

 

The only college runner I have seen that isn't simply attempting to out-speed his way to clear territory is Tulsa RB Trey Watts. Trey is the most patient running back in the draft. His plugging along running style reminds me exactly of Emmit Smith.

 

Is "possession" running back a valid NFL term?

 

If so, any team that drafts Trey should intend on using him similar to the way Dallas ran Emmit.

 

As a guy that has coached ZBS, and actually understands the reason for the side or "load" step, I think it's fair to say that you have no idea what you are talking about and that all you are doing is surfing for smaller school guys and those that are not talked about as much in the media.

 

That being said; keep 'em comin' brother. I'm enjoying the show
