It was awesome but a run to the outside should be the most transferable skill from Rugby.

 

It didn't look like it was drawn-up to be a run to the outside.

Good...I hope it stays with him...and transfers well.

Wades first carry? Holy crap, that is no rookie looking run. That is no joke!

 

Someone upstream was saying he needs to be a KR or PR. Nailed it. The guy is clearly an elite athlete. 

 

Seemed like the way he holds the ball was awkward but he can fly. Bet he’s been fumbling in camp or doesn’t catch well. 

 

Id assign him to fielding all the punters punts in practice and then bring in 5 more punters or set up a juggs.

Terrible drop.

 

Its preseason, but we've seen that way too many times from Zay. Cost the team 6 points. 

Yeah, that’s a big deal during the regular season. Zay has cost this team wins and points during his time here. Players all make mistakes, but Zay’s habit of making game altering mistakes needs to be corrected quickly.

Yeah I see that. He obviously takes care of himself. Well hopefully any issues that he has can be corrected.

Is there a reason it is different or is the technique a transferable skill?

I don't know the specifics but it is a bigger ball.

Exactly. That was not the call. He saw the hole, hit it quick, changed direction and broke it to the outside. And he looks to have some wheels. Vision and burst. I want to see more of this kid.

I didn’t see the game so I don’t know what he was doing, but I played rugby in college. Backs are often holding the ball in a way that they can pitch to either side with two hands at any moment, or in a way they can be quick to get to that point. I’m very curious to see what they are talking about.

Tell you what, I know that it was only one play, but if Wade keeps it up, the Bills may have to change their offensive plans. We may be having different conversations.

NFL.com doesn't feature Wade's thriller.  Kind of strange.

He saw it extremely quick and changed direction quick. It was a large hole but he saw it and reacted instantly.

I just brought this up to a buddy via text when the run happened. It seems that his open field running background in rugby and his speed would really suit the NFL return game. I’m wondering why he’s not gotten any looks there yet.... of it that opens up to him at some point.

He carried it high on his right shoulder just like a rugby player would. Not in the pitch way, in the open field way.

So quick to get to that point. It’s so similar, and yet so different! The helmet and pads make you into guided missiles! I’m so disappointed I didn’t get to see this live, but I guess I’ll save on an hour of commercials and other nonsense.
