texans take a swipe at reggie......

Ricky, do you REALLY believe that Reggie is a power runner? Do you REALLY believe he doesn't need to add more muscle?

pakowitz · 05-01-2008, 10:31 PM

i dont think he does.. i think he just needs to have a lil more patience behind the line and allow the OL to set up the blocks.. reggie tries to get through so fast that he runs past his blockers

also, Reggies situational stats are proof that he runs better up the middle.

as much as i hate actually reacting to this....i have to....u will never find nebody to agree with that....reggie is not an up the middle back...he is not a pounder/grinder whatever u wanna call it....he is a scat back...he jumps and spins and twirls like the best balerinas....reggie can be a great player if u play to his strengths which is what we did his rookie year.....when we need him to run up the middle..thats when his production drops off....he is very dangerous in open field..thats why he was so dominating returning punts and kicks....he was in open field...without flat out saying thats dumb...i gotta say man..where do u get ur stats from?

Well, I respectfully disagree Pak. Not about patience, but about how easily he goes down when someone gets a paw on him. People are saying he's a bust, Mario was a better pick, he's a scatback, can't run between the tackles. I don't buy any of that. But I do think patience isn't the only thing he needs to develop - but more strength.

RickyInKenner · 05-01-2008, 10:35 PM

my opinion? i think he could def use a bit more muscle, but i'm not going to nitpick he's already a big swoll guy.

the main thing with reggie is he wears down easily in the 2nd half.

thats something that can be worked on and is actually a great problem to have....if he gets to the line that quick it means that he can get through a hole just as quick...if he takes a counter step or a side step it should give the lineman just enough time to move their guys....reggie can be a guy to run more off tackle but running up the gut is not his strength....rather than rip apart his game and make him something he is not..i think its better to have someone who can run up the middle to compliment him....he is elite at what he does...he shouldnt have to run up the middle

i don't care if they agree. stats are stats, its fact.

its not that i dont think he couldnt use more strength but if he just used a lil more patience, his running would improve considerably..
