I don't really get it...Reggie has speed, moves, and he's not afraid to take the odd hit, he's bright, he knows where the first down marker is...and yet he just doesn't seem to detonate when it comes to the ground game.
Ok so we didn't expect him to be an every down George Rogers style masher, but I think everyone has to be at least a little disappointed with his rushing. Does Reggie ever talk about what the problem is? I haven't seen many sensible theories (beyond he's too weak/he's a bust/or this season's his breakout year style guff)
Ideas anyone?
CHI-TOWNSAINT, hit it right on the head, he doesn't trust his O-Line....I think we will see more consistent running this year from Reggie since he is training with the team, you cant learn to be an NFL Running back if your not training to be one, last year Reggie trained to be more flexible and to keep his speed up, Free Flo Duh, doesn't teach you how to avoid a 250pd linebacker, or how to get lower than the defender to protect the ball and your body.
he needed to practice with his RB Coach, his Oline and the rest of the team, to build camaraderie and to know each others habits, its almost like he just showed up to play, you could tell on some of his run plays he would just take the ball and run, no technique or discipline in his running.
