RB Chris "Beanie" Wells (All B1G, All-American)

[OregonBuckeye]

Not your imagination, he has put added emphasis in strength and conditioning since joining the NFL. Playing about 10-15 pounds lighter in Arizona than he was as a buckeye. Still dominant

How about the fact that he doesn't have to wear OL cleats just to protect his messed up toe? I'm guessing that plays a big role. Buckeye fans never saw just how dominant Beanie could be because of those health issues. He is an Adrian Peterson type talent when healthy.

Bickley: Cards' Wells stampeding to top
by Dan Bickley - Nov. 15, 2009
The Arizona Republic

Big, ugly games require big, nasty running backs.

On cue, the Cardinals welcomed the arrival of Beanie Wells, the latest football folk hero to emerge in Glendale.

"Honestly, he's breaking face masks when he's running through there," Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald said. "I get the heck out of the way when I hear him coming."

In the coming days, fans will not rehash the details of this pivotal 31-20 win over the Seahawks, an afternoon that came with too many sweaty palms and too many booing customers. The game should've been easier. The roof should've been open. Instead, it felt like a street fight inside someone's garage.

And yet the optimism can't be denied. Especially if you watched the freight train from Ohio State score on a fourth-down scamper for one touchdown and then run over three defenders for another.

With the holidays coming, you can bet there'll be a sudden rush on No. 26 jerseys.

"I'd say he redeemed himself a little bit," Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt said.

You forgot the rest of Fitz's quote.

?They don?t want to hit him straight on, because honestly he?s breaking guys? facemasks when he runs through them,? wide receiver

Larry Fitzgerald said. ?He?s 230 pounds running a 4.4, that?s pretty rough. I get the heck out of the way.?

Just the look at the face on Beanie here, kids a straight up beast.

I hope they never give Hightower the ball on a short yardage down ever again unless Beanie is out of commission.

i didn't watch the game, but saw that in the highlights. why in god's name would you use hightower on 4th and goal from the 1 when you have beanie on your team?

You were expecting a pass?

Beanie is open space is truly a scary thing. I like the Cardinals a lot more when they run Beanie.

 

[Bill Lucas]

Did I hear the announcer on the NFL highlights say "there's no substitute for speed"? This in relation to an Ohio State player?

Beanie is one of my favorite Buckeyes. I may have to purchase a #26 Cardinals jersey.

Love it! He's always been a horse but he's running a whole lot more violently now.

 

[bukIpower]

I tell you what I've already pointed this out but he's playing at a different level SPEED wise then i've ever seen him. He's not dancing what so ever and is completely coming downhill at the LOS. As stated simple from the post above mine he's running a ton more violent then he did probably due to his injuries here at O-state tho.

It was always obvious when he was going to break a long one in college as he seemed to be running 100 mph by the time he took the handoff.
Now he looks like that on every carry...

And the Browns drafted Alex Mack :(
