JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted January 12 Posted January 12 (edited) One of the best snow-runners of all time, with a history here. Maybe even bring Shady in as a consultant for this game. Edited January 12 by JÂy RÛßeÒ 4 1 1 Quote
Flip Johnson Posted January 12 Posted January 12 (edited) It's not about his brain. Marv used to talk about 'balance' as one of the most important and underrated attributes for a RB. Thurman and Shady did not have amazing straight line speed but they had balance. This will be a good test for Cook Edited January 12 by Flip Johnson 1 Quote
realtruelove Posted January 12 Posted January 12 Was his mother a mudder? Was his father a mudder? Has his brother been a mudder? We will know very quickly his mudder abilities from his first few carries. 3 Quote
since79 Posted January 12 Posted January 12 (edited) I remember a snowy Steelers game where Le’veon Bell never sprinted to the hole. He hesitated and short stepped his way down the field. He destroyed us in the game. Last year in our Snow game against Cinci, our offensive game plan was for a good track. Players were slipping and sliding on our side all over the field. They seemed most concerned with cleaning their shoe off between plays and being distracted. In their mind they were out of the game and it showed. Meanwhile Cinci came with the correct game plan, better plan for poor footing and they came to execute. There are valuable lessons there. Training staff get it right this time on foot wear choice. Coaches come better prepared with and executable gameplan. Players get you head right and don’t let the conditions distract you. Have an attitude that you are above the conditions. The Steelers have to play in it too. Tomlin will have everything right, he showed us before in the game I mentioned. I hope the lesson was learned…… Edited January 12 by since79 3 1 Quote

His career was never the same. 1 Quote

realtruelove Posted January 12 Posted January 12 (edited) OJ was a mudder. One of the criteria already mentioned was great balance. Bowed legs and a wide stance is another. Edited January 12 by realtruelove Quote

Thing is, if it's true as someone said that Shady grew up playing ball on snowy fields in PA, Shady probably doesn't know what it is he does. It's second nature to him, so he just plays. 1 Quote

This will be a good test for Cook Singletary also has pretty good contact balance. Bounces off tacklers and finds ways through creases. James is more elusive tho. And Thurm ran so low to the ground he was hard to take down. Quote

Saxum Posted January 12 Posted January 12 40 minutes ago, CNYfan said: Cleats matter And gloves. When Flutie came from Canada he brought glass cutter gloves which really seemed to work. https://uni-watch.com/2012/01/31/a-visit-to-the-little-league-museum/ Quote Responding to yesterday’s info on glass cutter gloves in the CFL, Jason Cutts writes: “I think the website you were looking at was a bunch of Saskatchewan homers patting themselves on the back. I believe the first CFL player to wear glass cutters was Dave Sapunjis. Another fun fact: The technology was patented, where nylon was applied to the back of the gloves, and they were called cutters. It’s true that Flutie brought the gloves to the NFL and many Buffalo receivers started wearing them. I recall hearing that the NFL bought out the patent after being sued or at least threatened.” Quote
