Or, what does he need to work on the most? The man is human, and has to have a weakness, right?

When he went down earlier today, he said he got hit in the balls. Maybe his only weakness

You can tackle him if you have 5 people gang up on him.

He could stop slowing down inside the 5 yard line... Other than that... ???

his vision, if you were rating on a 10 scale, is only about a 6. But if theres a hole and he's into the 2nd level, defense frickkkkkkkkked

His TD celebrations are average at best

He has a motor but it pales in comparison to Hester's

He has good, but not great vision. If the hole is there, he'll hit it most of the time but the great backs can anticipate the hole. That's just something that comes with experience though, and I have no doubt he'll acheive it. Just look at how far his vision has come since last season.

Also, the few times the TV showed him before the snap, he was cutting his eyes to where the run was called before the snap of the ball. That might be something a linebacker will pick up on later in the season.

Just something to watch for if the broadcast ever shows an angle from a linebackers POV.(camera on wire)

Not much, really. But if you HAD to answer your inquiry, I'd say pass blocking. (And before all you purple and gold glass wearer rantards chime in, go back and watch this mornings game).

Receiving skills. NFL running backs are turning into receiving backs more and more. He isn't bad in this area, just could use improvement.

What is LF's 40 yard time?

They compare to Bo; but Bo ran a sub 4.3 40.

Only saw one flaw in his game today- a couple of times late, Syracuse jumped all over the hole, and he tried to reverse his field instead of taking a minimal run. Lost some pretty big yards both times.

Yes, those would have been kill shots had he broken them, but he really wasn't close to it.

Lose that reflex, and his game is about flawless.

He has no weaknesses

Enjoy him while he's here. It'll be another decade till we someone like him. Don't take him for granted.
