The run nobody is really talking about

#1

The run where James Robinson almost scores but then fumbled was a pure effort type of play. I knew he was good but when he made that run I could have swore I was watching Emmitt Smith in the mid 1990’s. 

If he would have scored that would have went down as a top 10 run in team history. Not many backs across the league can make that kind of run.

Imagine getting paid millions of dollars to evaluate this player and completely not grasping any inkling of his value to your NFL roster.

Well at least his legs are a bit fresh , silver lining there.

I think, barring injury, he will surpass the mountain that is Fred Taylor, in yards and Tds. He’s naturally gifted in his vision and cuts. Has deceiving speed and power as well.

He'a a stud, but he's got about 1/5 of Freddy's god-given athletic ability. 

I'll cheer him on to the end, but i don't see him getting near those numbers.

That's disrespectful to how truly great Fred Taylor was. I really like JRob, but come on...

I've been telling all my friends this. I said a broke man's emmitt smith. His height and weight are similar. Speed probably the same and he just picks holes and runs with great vision. Those extra yards he gains helps so much. On a negative, he does drop the ball once in a while when you dont expect it when pass catching.

Fred is Fred. Be glad we were witnesses to a truly undervalued great player.

MOJO falls more in line with bell cow running backs. And man he was fun to watch.

Robinson is a gem and his balance is amazing. I love the guy but he isn't Fred or MOJO.

Way too early to compare or think he will be Fred. I love me some JRob. But he’s not even gotten to mojo level, yet alone Freddy T. He’s got the skill and talent to get there. Only time will tell.

Emmitt Smith is the best comparison I can think of.  Emmitt was not big and not fast, but he was just a great football player.  He avoided solid hits and made a lot of yards after contact.  Just like James Robinson. 

I hope we can get more carries for Carlos Hyde, because this is not the year we want to wear out James Robinson.  Running backs have limited tread on their tires.  I'd like to see James Robinson playing at his peak on a contending team.

Jeff Prosser talking about meeting James Robinson recently. Says Robinson doesn’t know much about MoJo. After the draft he was invited here and to the Niners. Glad he chose us first.

Robinson has been working hard on his top speed. Said he was disappointed after getting chased down on the 58 yard run against Miami.

Agreed. Freddy was an athletic freak with his combination of speed and size which very few could match. JRob is not that guy but then neither was Emmitt. Of course Emmitt might be the GOAT so it's an unfair comparison. With that said, JRob as long as he continues to improve (and is called in often enough) should be a multi-probowler, easily.
I'm condescending. That means I talk down to you.

One thing if for sure, we need to give JRob an extension at the end of the season

JRob extension should be priority number 1 in the off-season

Same comp Vic Ketchmen just made

One thing though. Emmit had a great OL most of his career. JRob has been working with average to good never great most of his career thus far. I think if the OL can reach a more consistent level of great play (or stay healthy even) he could be even better.

Dude is contacted behind or at the LOS and makes plays anyway a lot.

Robinson is 10x greater than Fred (Patriots) and Emmitt (Cardinals)

You know which Robinson runs I won't stop talking about?

The ones that never happened because our staff are fools.

15 missing runs week 1
9 missing runs week 2
2 missing runs week 3
2 missing runs week 4
3 missing runs week 5
3 missing runs week 6

He's been robbed of 34 runs by these idiots.
And this would only put him at a meager 20 totes per game.
Derrick Henry AVERAGES 29 runs per game.
Robinson averages 14 carries per game.
Henry avgs 4.8 per carry
Robinson avgs 5.5 per
Absolutely infuriating.

there have also been alot of bigs runs called back on Robinson this year too. at least two that were 15 + and also one if Robinson had Blocked would of been 25+ instead of 9. we have a Star Running back that no one talks about. lets keep it that way. 5 TDs after 6 games. while basically only playing in 3.

It's insane. JRob should be battling Henry and Chubb for the lead in rushing yards. But he's riding the bench at critical times.
