Use one of our extra picks in the Mid rounds on one.

 

Which one would you use it on - Ravens 4, Lions 5, or Ravens 5?

Does it really matter, its not like any of us are really qualified to figure it out in that much detail.

It depends on a player's projection. If it is first half of the fourth round and Baltimore wins the coin flip, we have to pick him with our assigned fourth round pick, not the traded one.

There is no "correct hand." It is all about how he holds it in his hand.

 

Parts of your statement are true, parts are not. Granted, how the player holds the ball in his hand is key - it needs to be "high and tight", hold the ball tight to body and high enough so that it can't be poked out from behind - but which hand it is held in is also important. One thing that coaches teach player is to "keep your body between the bad guys and the ball." If you are running to your left, odds are that the bulk of the defenders are on your right, so put the ball in your left hand, the one that keeps it away from all the bad guys.

 

As for a RB, draft Bibbs in the Fourth or Fifth. I'll be happy with that.

I'm trying to make myself more informed and less opinionated.

Stop saying whatever stupid thing you're talking about and pay attention to all the interesting things I have to say!

I'll take a back like devontee freeman in the 5th. Not great speed but good speed and great hands out of the backfield

That is what everyone says, but most fumbles occur far from the sidelines, so defenders can come from either side to punch the ball out.

Fumbles generally occur on the side that the bad guy is on. Keep the ball away from the bad guys.

What if a player runs up the middle and fumbles?

Then put the ball in the middle of the body and cross both arms around the ball. Once you're clear, run to a sideline and put the ball close to the sideline.

Why would you want a guy who does not have great speed? He needs to run 5 yards just to get to the LOS.

By great speed I'm talking Chris Johnson, Mjd never had great speed but he had a burst that he could take it to the house! Same

Thing with allot of backs in the nfl, it's not all about speed at the rb position, it's about vision, toughness to pick up a blitz and ball security. If you have those three attributes most of the time you have a place on a nfl roster for more than a few years

MJD is a different type of running back. He ran up the middle and dragged defenders behind him. You can't run fast when a guy is grabbing you leg. Chris Johnon runs around the outside, where he is  not touched by anybody and has room to run faster. That is the difference between those two guys.

Yes, people tend to slow down when they are being tackled. I don't think Stiggy was referring to that.
