This play was our bread and butter with Dixon, but I don't recall us running it much the past two seasons. It may be we just have not run it effectively, however hopefully we will get back to using this play effectively with JRob.

You've just missed it. Plus, Boobie was more exaggerated with his "fake" on the counter than our other RBs. We ran it a good bit last season. Although we did abandon it with TR as QB two seasons ago.

It's my bread and butter on NCAA '14, too.

I must have missed it, anyone have a reason why Dixon ran this play so well? Maybe better vision or patience in letting the line pick up their blocks on the pull.

I think Robinson will have a big year. Mullen likes to spread the wealth at RB, but I think JRob has the potential to force Mullen to keep him in the game. I think I'm as anxious to see JRob carry the load at RB as I am Dak at QB. We havent had an energetic and charismatic RB since Boobie. JRob has the Boobie swag about him.

And not to change the subject, but does anyone know what Shumpert's 40 time is? He looked awfully slow in all of the replays I've been watching from last year and the spring game. He packs a punch, but I thought he was a little faster. I don't mean it in a bad way, bc we need a bruiser....I'm just wondering if maybe he just appears slower due to longer strides or something?

I'm hoping that shump looks so slow bc of indecisiveness

Yeah I thought he and Wes rea would've been a good race and I was very surprised. I thought shump would be much faster

Welcome to the party. Been saying for a year now that Shump doesn't have breakaway speed. Or if he does, he hasn't shown it yet. But it's hard to tell when he goes out of his way to look for a LB to try to truck instead of running to daylight.

He does seem a little slow, however he likes contact and seems to look for it at times rather than running to space.

Its not just you. I always thought he looked really slow too......I just figured that it must be the way he runs or something.

Really? I never have much luck with it. It always develops a little awkwardly for me where the pulling block is right in the back's way when he makes the turn, and I lose a little time getting around that. My bread and butter is just abusing the zone read.

Yeah, I've played with a few teams where I couldn't run it right. But when it works, it really works. Zone read took some practice, but I can't pass for crap so I had to learn it.

^Just like real life for some teams..
