re: Durham reminds me of Justin Vincent when he break tackles

Maybe not the top end speed durham has. But he's moving on this td

Yeah, he’s moving slowly. The DB catches him at the five in spite of having to fend off a blocker. That clip is a perfect example of why Vincent was overrated. He does absolutely nothing on that play that distinguishes him, and yet it’s a highlight. The entire play was made by the nine Tigers who blocked it. Vincent shows no vision, speed, moves or power. That’s not to say he was bad; it’s just that the play was there for any of the 120 starting RBs at the D1 programs.

Vincent was a good back. He would have been in any of Les Miles’ RB rotations, but he would have been the lead back in none of them.

frick!! What a year!!!

Damn I miss running the football violently and good hard hitting defense

Vincent had decent vision but the 2003 offensive line was way better at making holes to run through than the next couple of years, including this year’s offensive line. Many were saying, “What happened to Vincent? Why does he not look as good as he did as a freshman?”

It’s balance. He doesn’t fall because he’s bumped or pushed. He has to be fully wrapped up to go down.

That’s also what make that Williams kid at Bama so special. When he goes up to catch a ball, he comes down and keeps stride while many other receivers just fall
