Ran through tackles and laid out Raekwon McMillan to finish the run 20 yards downfield...yikes.

Which player are you assigning the "yikes" too?

Too?

That's not what it said. At the end of the run, he hit McMillan, whose lost his helmet at the end of the 20 yard gain by Curtis Sameul.

Which is different how? You just repackaged what I said.

Maybe, but you didn't capture McMillan losing the helmet. And your wording was ambiguous and had me confused if he ran 20 yards PAST the collision with McMillan.

Too?

To whom did he assign the yikes? Let's not be dangling any prepositions.

The salient point from that paragraph was that after being laid out the play before instead of shutting down and letting it get in his head, he got fired up and brought it to a 5-star LB that outweighs him by 50 to 60 lbs. That's what you really want out of a player. The details don't really matter.

Hear hear. We already knew that Curtis is off the charts in talent and speed, but to show that kind of toughness and resilience at such an early point in his career makes you think he could be a great one down the road.

It also shows that he gets the physics of it. A smaller running back (or rugby player who learned the hard way early on) has to accelerate going into the impact/tackle. This shifts the relative energy transfer and actually helps prevent/reduce injuries. It's hard to teach some players to do that because it's somewhat counter-intuitive, I guess, but it works.

I'm thinking urban has to be very impressed after him telling curtis get the ball and go and on that same play he scores...

The guy that’s in the rotation already is Curtis Samuel,” Meyer said during spring drills. “I want to say that’s shocking, especially at tailback, because I thought he’d be more of a wide receiver-slash guy. Eventually he might, but he’s legitimate running the ball. “Unless there’s something up, he’ll play.”

“We have some depth there, but right now 15 (Elliott) and 4 (Samuel) are the two.”
