LINK In watching this great run by RS it seems he pulls up a tad around the 30 yard line and the Towson defender catches him just before the goal line. Why would he pull up so soon and allow a defender to catch him? It feeds my suspicion that RS is a great football player who is not giving 100%. Until he comes to terms with who he is I'm afraid he's going to lose his opportunity to be a great football player. He reminds me of Terrence Toliver who has the body and talent to be the next Randy Moss but does not seem to have the work ethic to be all he can be.

I hope RS can watch tape of this run and see how great he can be and figure out why he pulled up so soon.

I was thinking he might have pulled something or had a cramp. It looked like he was running with a limp

so the only difference between terrance tolliver and randy moss...is that randy moss had a much better work ethic.

this has to be one of the dumbest posts i've seen in awhile.

Yeah, such a dumb post. Work ethic has nothing to do with player development. The Rant continues to deliver quality posters like you!

If he pulled something that caused him to pull up then my sincere apologies. I've not seen anything about an injury. I'm just baffled at why he's never been able to break out as a more dominant offensive weapon. I feel he's had high expectations for himself and that sometimes can affect a players development.

No, dude. His point is that it's EXTREMELY laughable to type work ethic and Randy Moss in the same sentence. Along with the fact that Moss ran like the wind compared to Tolliver, had significantly better hands, so on and so forth. But to suggest Randy Moss was good due to work ethic is unreal.

Tyrann gives 110% and has pulled up on TDs as well. IDK but I wouldn't read too much into it.

I was wondering why they didn't run the speed sweep to him a couple more times after that play...

I'm not sure what it was, but I'm certain CLM drew it up that way on the back of a TJ Ribs napkin.
"You really have to sell the busted play and almost knock Mett down at the exchange."

I'll call it the prettiest ugly play I've seen since the 10-10-'10 over-the-shoulder-bounce-pass-fake-fg.
