MoC, despite all his problems and flaws, never ever ever to my knowledge "half-assed" it on the practice field or in a game during his time at OSU. It remains to be seen (there is a story to the contrary, who knows how true it is), how much he really half-assed his workouts before the combine. His game also was never about speed, although he did have a second gear on the field. It was always about power and vision.Dryden said:Agreed. All those "big uglies" that have passed through the weight room, and the only player in the history of the program to reach the 700 plateau was the one guy who arguably half-assed everything else he ever did ... geeze, just imagine what he could've posted as a motivated junior?! :(
This is the primary reason I think MoC still gets drafted in the middle rounds this year, the kid is built like a bowling ball. Nobody ever really cared about his 40 times. What difference does it make how fast or slow you are if you can still run 5 more yards carrying the first guy to attempt a tackle on your back?
Whoever drafts MoC is going to get a heck of a running back IMO, still. It remains to be seen if the off the field stuff is too much to offset his talent. His problems off the field to date have no real bearing to the NFL so it remains to be seen how much of a problem he really is.
