Kind of growing on me, like a wart. I really like the emotion he's playing with and he's running much better. If he would just trust the play a little longer and wait for it to develop he will go to the next level.

Much improved from beginning of the season.

Yea missed the hole a couple times actually, he bounced outside too quickly and the hole DID develop. Needs to learn a little more patience.

Yeah, that was unfortunate.

It was also unfortunate they blew that play dead so fast.

His quickness and physicality seem to be good but his vision is still questionable at times. Not just a knee jerk reaction to that one play last night, but it seems like this has been one of the biggest issues in his career.

He is doing better. He seems to way better when he has the lead blocker.

He did miss that hole, but that was a quick whistle.

Agree his vision needs to develop, but at least he's showing some passion after runs and on the sidelines etc. Needs to trust that his OL will create the hole and let it happen before bailing to the outside.

oh i agree

I think he'll be fine but it's difficult to hand out carries to him when you have guys like PT and Sproles on the roster who are monsters.

I think we're not helping him by never giving him two carries in a row. Product of our offense I guess.

He runs upfield much better than on the sidelines.

He needs to put the priority on finding the holes ahead of him.

I think fans are slowly coming around on him. I'm finally starting to like the way he runs. Just needs to be patient sometimes.

I'm liking his intensity. He has something to prove and is playing with a chip for sure.

He is running better and improving but it's clear that Pierre is STILL our best rb

He's definitely looked the best he has in his career since coming back from his toe injury this season. Despite that one particular play where he bounced outside of the hole, he's impressed me with his cuts. He's been doing a much better job of putting his foot in the ground and cutting up at the right time, rather than dancing around. It's made him appear much quicker, too. He needs to do a better job of lowering his pad level, though. For someone who runs with the steam that he does once he gets rolling, he gets stood up by a secondary player far too often.

I'm sure he hears about all the complaining and "bust" talk that the fans give him. I honestly think that he tries harder to prove to everyone that he isn't a bust. I do notice that he gets kind of antsy and misses a hole (if he were to be patient) at times because he's trying so hard to perform well.

I like what I see, I think he'll be better than trent though.

You might have been put on crazy pills if you said that in Week 3 or so.

He also cut back right into an unblocked DT earlier in the game. I'm honestly not sure what's going through his head half the time. The play tells you where to go. He should probably see how that works out for him once in a while.

I think the hole wasn't as open as it seemed to him. From the angle we watched it and the angle he was running were different. He has been much more decisive in his reads and cuts though and it makes him a totally different back than what we've seen for the majority of his career. He actually broke through some arm tackles as well.

Maybe he needs to drop back a little deeper and allow his speed to actually time the hole and I am not talking about sex.
