Kelly the Dog Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 Without question. He had a burst to the sideline that I hadn't seen before. Before he looked pretty quick but that he was barely getting past DL and LBs. This game, even in the rain and snow, he accelerated faster than I have seen him. Obviously this has all been said before, but Willis is a STUD, and does everything pretty well that a RB is asked to do. That forearm was friggin' hysterical.
SACKMARINO Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 u know. I was thinking the same exact thing. I recall 2 consecutive runs early in the 2nd half, he didnt gain many yards but his cuts were lightening quick, fastest ive seen yet/.
Last Guy on the Bench Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 And here's a third opinion saying exactly the same thing. I was commenting throughout the game that, even though the end result was pretty much the same (THIS time), Willis was running faster and cutting harder than ever. It was very noticeable. He even broke out a few jukes, something he hasn't done much. I cannot freaking wait to see him next year. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised to see him pull a buck eighty game this year, which would have of course have to include a couple of big mongo runs.
Mantis Toboggan M.D Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 I love watching him stiff arm defenders to the ground.
SACTOBILLSFAN Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 Yeah I agree you don't see other runners stiff arm like McGahee does
Mickey Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 I thought Willis was fast until I saw Evans on that reverse, man that guy makes the Flash look like a rusty shopping cart. So figured Willis was fast for a RB, no fair comparing him to a WR. Of course, then I saw Williams come on in releif. Faster than a water bug that kid is. Willis will get all of his speed back but until that happens, I'll take that stiff arm anyday.
OnTheRocks Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 I love watching him stiff arm defenders to the ground. 157953[/snapback] EXACTLY! This guy has a menacing stiff arm! At least once per game, and typically a few times each week, he is just flattening would be tacklers with that stiff arm! I also agree....this week more than ever, he actually looked fast.
