he is fun to watch. Reminds me of a shorter Hester with better hands. If we can figure out how to utilize him to maximize his talent ala Sproles he could be a game changer for us. I cringe when we try to use him as a between the tackles RB cause that is not his game. Get him in space at the second level and he's dangerous. We need to use play design to get him free. He's still learning that not every play needs to be a home run. If it's not there take what the D gives you.

Reminds me of a great book I'd like to read to my kids called "Who's Afraid of the Misuse of The Big Bad Garrett Wolfe."

If he'll follow his zone read blockers to the outside he'll find more success running the ball but he can't be a one-trick player like Hester was as a receiver.

Totally agree. I’ve gotten frustrated with his zig- zag running where he makes little or no forward progress. Stick with the play call and quit improvising.
