Reggie finally get it?

Reggie finally get it?

Didn't see any other thread on this so i apologize if there is. I couldn't help but notice an improvement in Reggie's game. On the few runs he has had of late he is hitting holes that he previously overlooked or missed. He is cutting back instead of choosing to bounce it outside, the 13 yd run against Tampa is an example. I am starting to like what I see from him. Might be time to give him a couple more carries a game.

I agree. Noticed the same thing. When he hits a hole he usually breaks it for a big gain. The longest rush of his career came after hitting the hole. I think it was against Carolina.

Re: Reggie finally get it?

yer gotta agree, two examples, last year week 7 vs panthers, reggie ran off right tackle and cut inside of shockey - 45 yard gain.
This year vs rams ran through right guard, 65 yard gain!!
i am liking what im seeing from reggie recently, it looks like the limited role has made him play with more fire. I still think payton should have given him more plays last week

I think he sees MB and PT's roles being more important than his. I think he realizes he is expendable and not as important as HE thinks he is. maybe watching those guys actually hit a hole has lit a fire

Re: Reggie finally get it?

I honestly have no idea why he doesn't get more touches. Every time he touches the ball its gold it seems. It almost feels like he really is being phased out of the offense.

I agree with that assessment, because Bell and Hamilton weren't exactly getting the job done after PT was injured. Maybe it was play-calling. Maybe it was Tampa's run-D stepping up. Maybe it was lackadaisical play by the O-line. Whatever it was, Bell and Hamilton played a little flat. I think Reggie should have gotten more touches than Hamilton for sure. Reggie looked impressive in his limited touches. I think he should have gotten quite a few more looks in the game than he was given.

Re: Reggie finally get it?

Totally agree. They key to Reggie's success is consistency (or the lack of) - injuries have held him back as well, but it does look like he may be taking what the D gives him

Yep, Reggie is an athlete no doubt. More direct Reggie! Forget the left or right end.

Every time Reggie gets the ball I'm yelling at him just run don't dance around. I think maybe he heard me.
