gore averaged like 9 yards a carry his freshman year playing behind portis, mcgahee and najeh davenport
I never knew Sean did that. fukk
i'm pretty sure he does
It was SEAN??
Wow. Coker was my OC when i played at OU.
All my cane homies used to swear up and down to me that we neve would have heard of McGhee had Gore not gotten hurt.
Then when he became healthy as a pro...you saw why they were right.
I honestly miss the thought process going into playing RB. I used to love head rush to figure things out in a split second. I don't think a lot of players pick up on cues left on the field to become better runners. I can remember playing in a mud field and getting a toss sweep and some little corner cut me down by my legs. I kept that filed away. We run the same play a quarter later and a split second before seeing him again at the end if the sweep I said fukk it and straight hurdled that lil niqqa knowing he would go at my legs again. My sideline went nuts.
I miss that shyt.
People just don't understand, let me break down a typical 5 yard run for me:
did he clap for FGs back then too?
Hurricanes used to be RB University smh..
He does, my favorite RB on my favorite team
Vision makes you look like that, Marcus Allen had that...it makes everything look effortless. You be watching the game & go this dude hasn't done any spectacular runs why is he killin us like this? Dude is like Diabetes...a silent killer
That Rams run pretty much sums up Matt Forte in a nut shell
yeah, he gets it
And it's the little shyt too. I always looked for markers. If a defender is engaged to lineman, you look for which shoulder the defenders head is located and you go opposite of it because it's impossible for that defender to get through that lineman on his outside shoulder. Worse shyt it hate is RBs that don't switch the ball up to their outside hand. You don't allow yourself a chance to use your inside hand as a weapon (stiff arm) if you keep the ball inside and in the case you fumble, you fumble the ball towards out of bounds rather than the middle of the field.Breh, if it wasn't for an engineering full scholarship I would have definitely played DII football, and who knows
1) Everybody lines up, you have to see who's in A gap or B, if it's a tackle or a Linebacker, then you gotta see if they are in a 4-3, 3-4, or 5-2. 4-3 best odds are off A gap, 3-4 I look to cut to the weak side after the snap, 5-2 I like to crash the hole and see if I can bounce out. That's all before the play
2) You have to know the blocking assignments. E.g. if my center and right guard are double teaming the NT in a 4-3, I have to crash the A gap hard because as soon as that hole opens the backers are coming in on some Viking raid type steez. If guard is pulling in a 5-2, I probably plan to cut back into the gap he's crashing into after getting the ball because the backers will be out of position most likely
3) once you get the ball and hit the hole, you have to how they are coming at you. A good back needs vision. Straight on if he's bigger you try to spin off it, smaller run him over, if he's fast you hit him with a hesitation move, etc.
^^^If that wasn't complicated enough (and believe me, I've simplified it a great deal) now do it all in less than 1 second
Like a true back cuts like a skier, it's always important to sit and lean into the cut. Or like when you lower the shoulder it's not a punch, it's push, so the same way you lean into an object when you push is the same you do when you lower the boom. A lot of backs kind of just pop dudes with the shoulder, and a lot of times you lose momentum/get stood up if the dude is bigger then you. If you lean into the contact, you will ALWAYS have the momentum on your side because you know where you are going, and you automatically get an extra 2-3 yards just for falling foward. How often you saw 200 lb Marshall Faulk get stood up? 
People think it's about being some big physical punishing type dude, and end up like Brandon Jacobs riding the bench. It's know about angles, leverage, timing, to be honest a running back is a ninja of sorts. Little sh*t like that is the difference between 3 ypc and 4.5 ypc 
Dat lean!!Preach
Dat lean!!
Frank gore runs with natural forward lean. Even when you hit him, his legs at behind him giving him a chance
To break a tackle
off my team dude
He'd absorb the contact all the while pushing you off with his outside forearm. It was a thing of beauty. Pause it at 0:52...that move is what made Sanders bounce off so many tackles. I use to just 
at people never getting what he was doing. I studied that dude..the best.
