Does Ballage Remind Anyone Else Of...

[Phinadict]

those are some good comparisons. I just got done watching an early 90's highlight on youtube so I had Kirby on the brain.

Not that I did not like Kirby, but I do not agree with that comparison at all.

I looked at Kirby as an OK runner and an above average pass catcher. I do not see Ballage as a back that goes down on the initial hit, I see him as a pretty explosive rb that has great promise. I think he is much more physical, fast and stronger than Kirby.

Lorenzo Hampton?

 

[hoops]

Is this dude so good now that we sit him in preseason games?

What’s up with that?

Terry Kirby? same upright running style, goes down fairly easily (1st contact?) or is it just me...

Kirby no. I see Larry Johnson

 

[ChuckyG]

Reminds me of Pete stoyanovich but bigger, faster and black. Pete was a better kicker in my opinion.

 

[hoops]

Still haven’t heard why ballage didn’t get run vs Tampa in the game. Was he nicked up or was it a healthy scratch stud player treatment?

If it’s the latter i look forward to seeing it play out that way in games

Ronnie Brown upright style, but faster, easier to take down, less of a bruiser. As to his being held out Friday, it was a healthy scratch.

 

[laxcoach]

Curtis Martin ish...

 

[hoops]

Wow healthy scratch. The stud treatment by this staff

 

[mmikel30]

A little Eddie George and Eric Dickerson

 

[Travis34]

Wow healthy scratch. The stud treatment by this staff

Or maybe just don’t wanna risk an injury to the next most capable rb on the team, since drake is already hurt

They know after those two it probably gets rough

 

[multistage]

He has the size and speed.

I’m hoping when he gets his confidence to a high level, he blows it sky high.

Now I won’t actually SAY Ricky Williams, but....
