Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I actually love Lewis. I watch Pitt football here and there, and I always thought he looked better than McCoy at Pitt. Obviously his issue is staying healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously his issue is staying healthy. Him and McCoy are very similar. Both very shifty and hard to get a clean hit on. Sadly Lewis is a lot more Fragile.

YoloinOhio Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share Posted October 26, 2016 Lewis had a patella stress fracture as complication from acl surgery. That sounds bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatsFanNH Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Dion Lewis is a Dollar Tree version of McCoy I said similar, as in styles, when Healthy Lewis is a stud sadly he is broken a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Dion Lewis is a Dollar Tree version of McCoyHe's not even the $.33 store version (tried to insert picture from the Simpsons). He's an okay player but it is in line with the Orton/Brady comparison. They aren't in the same universe let alone similar players. Lewis is a poor man's Darren Sproles, McCoy is a HOF caliber back.

Aka neither one will try to run over a tackler like a Blount, but do a move to make him miss. (Lewis would probably suck on the Bills) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aka neither one will try to run over a tackler like a Blount, but do a move to make him miss. (Lewis would probably suck on the Bills) It's as if you've never seen Lewis play. He is nothing like McCoy. McCoy runs between the tackles. He's an every down back. Lewis is a scat back that's mainly used for passing. Danny Woodhead (or as Kirby said Sproles) is a lot more comparable to Lewis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aka neither one will try to run over a tackler like a Blount, but do a move to make him miss. (Lewis would probably suck on the Bills)Believe it or not I like Lewis (quite a bit). We just have a problem on this board comparing guys far superior and it is one of my biggest pet peeves. Every white receiver ever is the next "Edelman" or "Welker." Every black QB is either "Cam, Vick or RW." It drives me nuts. I'm very sensitive to comparisons (that's a me problem). It's as if you've never seen Lewis play. He is nothing like McCoy.

He ran between the tackles and caught passes. Hell he was out only effective runner behind that crappy O line! Again small sample size. Believe it or not I like Lewis (quite a bit).

I understand that, I was just comparing how they run not their talent (Lewis couldn't carry McCoy jock strap) I mean it should be a hell lot easier for Lewis to run than McCoy.. I don't think I will ever see 8-9 men in the box with Brady behind center unlike McCoy who then still goes and gains 4-5 yards.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Brady and Kyle Orton are very similar too. Â Except Brady eats the cleanest diet in the world, while orton dips on the sidelines and pounds jack and cokes after the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatsFanNH Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 He really pounded the rock those 6/7 carries he got per game. Hey the Pats REALLY REALLY sucked at running last year! But averaging almost 5 yards a carry isn't bad. Again I was talking about style.. NOt how good he is but the style he runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatsFanNH Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 His style is Danny Woodhead. There is nothing elusive about woodhead when he runs.. nothing he finds a hole and hits it.. Lewis could do multiple cuts and get up field... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
