Sutton Highlights -- Prepare yourself

[JuliusP_90]

He's a little small.

But that play at 2:12 will make sure that I never say that to his face.

I went to northwestern and watched this guy play on saturdays and I could not be any more excited that we picked him up. This guy played on a offense that had terrible WR's and Oline. The only other competent person to play on that offense was Basanez.

He would routinely keep the wildcats in the game by himself. You could tell that he was playing harder than anyone else on the field and consistently showed more effort and drive than anyone else on the team. Obviously there's not a lot of room for him with the panthers depth at RB but he is an asset in the locker room and the practice field.

sounds like you're describing D-Will's time at Memphis.

considering how he beat up on terrible teams in the preseason, yeah I guess you could say he's back to 2008 form!

so you're saying he ran over terrible teams in 2008?

uh his numbers are pretty obviously skewed by what he did against some terrible competition

i mean lol 31% of his yards came against 3 teams that combined for 5 wins

does that mean the williams's numbers are skewed or that he isn't as good as turner since he couldn't capitalize off 2 of those 3 opponents?

both runners ran against subpar run defenses last season.

uh most people would come to the obvious conclusion that williams is better than turner due to his overwhelmingly superior numbers and physical performance against a mostly similar schedule but hey whatever does it for you!

also deangelo was pretty much better across the board in every way imaginable

just an fyi if you ever want to talk about it again

he chose his gap quickly and accelerated through it well. I saw a second gear as good as dewills (almost). He runs between the tackles. has pretty decent hands and shows no signs of being timid.

all highlight reels make folks look all-world but I like what I see.

yeah...I'd rather see what his lowlights were and how he came back from or corrected them.

[Mr. Scot]

Actually, I think he runs like Stewart...behind his pads. Goodson relies on speed. There's several times in that clip where Sutton initiated the contact with the defender. He looks good, but a little on the slow side. Defenders walked him down fairly easliy.

I'd agree, though I don't think he's especially slow. Not as muscular as Stewart, but could be stronger than he looks based on some of the hits I saw. Field vision looks to be pretty good too.

He reminds me of Stewart primarily in two facets: low center of gravity and tremendous balance. People underestimate just how important good balance can be to a runningback. Guys with this profile are built to be elusive runners.
