Teams and defense vastly superior in talent he popped off the screen. Agreed! His team was badly outmatched on the line. I didn't see one play where his oline won. Not one. But he kept making things happen. That run at 1:09 is a thing of beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still though, a terrible big school program defense is still more physical than a most players from Fl Atlantic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WideRightRevenge Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 For all the chatter of too slow or too much workload .. please compare Devin (CUSA player) to Kareem (a MAC player) .. yes Hunt is bigger but just saying I see some of the following knocks on Singletary 40 YARD Dash - 4.62 for Hunt vs 4.66 for Devin (but Devin can't outrun defenders .. damn that .04 seconds) Didn't play against top flight competition ... MAC vs C-USA ..let's agree a push (all love to UB aside) Used too much .. last year of college .. each had 260ish carries Both picked in the 3rd round One can only hope (sans the Hunt Hotel incident) that maybe just maybe we got something like the Chiefs got in the 3rd http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/kareem-hunt?id=2557917 Draft Review comments for Hunt Bottom Line Big back with plus vision and enough elusiveness to make the first defender miss. Feel for the rushing lane helps him choose the correct path between the tackles but lacks the burst to turn the 4-yard run into 14. Zone-scheme runner with serviceable hands out of the backfield. Adequate in most areas and has talent to become a backup that can step in and handle a bigger load if needed.

Spiller was a speed-demon who kicked it outside often. He had decent bulk. He was more of an out of the backfield threat than a #1 RB. Singletary is knocked for lack of speed, bulk and pass catching production. Singletary actually shows power and uses the middle of the field very well, which is why he scored three times the number of TDs Spiller did in college. I mean, yeah, they both have/had sick spin moves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toesy Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 The guy appears to have great balance-that is why he is able to break tackles so easily-what I do like is a lot of his stuff-like that run at 1.09 seems to be effortless-he made that tackler seem like a little kid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bookie Man Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 1 hour ago, 100DollarBills said: He will be a limited RB in the NFL, once teams figure out how to contain him up the middle, he’s finished because he doesn’t have enough speed to make it around the outside. Does that mean any back that doesn't run 4.5 or better is a "limited" back and will be "finished" bc they can't get outside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixxxer Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I do not like this pick, moreso after we signed TJ Sheldon, but I understand why we did it. If one of the vetarn RBs we have on the team is catched up by father time, we have a reasonable, productive RB to step up and help the team. Big if. His highlights look impressive, though.

This draft will end up getting both Sean and Beane fired, this RB ran about a 4.7, ok to be small if you are the fastest guy on the field. He will never be that in the NFL Some of you guys must work for opposition press, every pick you hate but I blame the water affecting children during development. Neither will be fired over this draft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toesy Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 IMO the 40 time is a big deal for a CB or kick returner but that is about it-people forget that a lot of these kids train specifically for the 40 with sprint coaches-there is a link between 40 speed and real game speed but they aren't the same thing-for a great 40 time your sprint start is really important.

Scorp83 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I think we're going to love this kidd! Man look at his interview...

Punching Bag Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 12 hours ago, DC Tom said: Interesting. He's got great balance, patience, and vision. And he's a fast little mother. But he looks small, and in most of those highlights he's getting great blocking. There's little there to show off any power or strength he may or may not have. Based solely on those...he looks like a third-down back. He could be successful in the NFL, behind a line that blows defenses off the line - which makes the Ford pick interesting, as well. Based on his build, though...doesn't look like an RB that's going to have a very long career. He is NOT a power back, he is opposite of Ivory. Blocking which should work for McCoy should work for him although I do not think he will be that good and he will need a 2nd back to share touches or he will wear down.

Victory Formation Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I think Shady gets dealt for a ham sandwich and Yeldon and Gore carry the load while Singletary is groomed to take over as our bell cow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on dude, you're clearly pushing the other extreme and can't be taken seriously yourself if that's your reaction to this draft Don't harp on him, it is the Niagara water.

Im not in favor of dealing shady unless we’re getting an impact player. I think shady has a bounce back year. Better line, better passing game (hopefully) should mean good things for shady. Question is whether he has gas in the tank for another season. I’m not giving up on him though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
