went back and watched all of his touches and decided to record + post them here

I can't watch it at work, but I'll check it out later. Thanks for taking the time to do this. I've been hoping someone would put together a clip of his carries (not just the highlights) so we could be a bit more objective about his performance. If you have anymore video from previous seasons, I'd love to see that too. Thanks.
 
Thanks for putting that together. He has looked better this preseason. That run against the Dolphins when he stiff armed three guys is the best run he has had as a pro and he looked confident doing it.

Just wish he would break more tackles, make some people miss and create his own running lanes. I'm so hopeful he can emerge into the back we thought we were drafting but I'm very doubtful. If he does then they might as well hand us the lombardi.
 
He is looking much better. Needs to work on his vision.

The play at 1:00 where the fullback blasts a giant hole for him and he runs into the back of the tackle is almost laughable.

But he is having much less of those at least.
 
I thought his runs were good except for two. He just doesn't seem to have that extra burst, but if he continues to get better at hitting the right hole, he will be able to do what we need him to do. I also think he has proven that he has very good hands and will add that dimension to our offense.
 
We ran a couple of really well designed screens that looked really good.

If that happens, then he can be quite good for us. His yards per carry is going to go up as well.
 
while he has improved slightly and looks a little slimmer he's not a very good RB

takes too many steps to get where he needs to go which is usually the back of an OL.

even on wide open holes he gets 20 yds against the texans. if we had a faster guy in there like he takes that to the house or at least threatens to.

too many wasted steps and not enough power....lacks vision.

sean payton hopefully learned from getting rid of bush that you shouldn't be married to a high draft pick if he can't produce in your offense when given limited opportunities.
 
The biggest thing I took from the video is how awful those dolphin uniforms are. Why fix something that ain't broke.
