Gaskin looked good IMO

[phintim]

Gaskin appeared to be running thru tackles last night and performing pretty well prior to the injury.

I read some threads out there where he missed some holes but he appeared to me to show some burst and ability after getting hit I have not seen from any of our other running backs other then Walton especially between the tackles.

Interested on other opinions on the guy and any update on his injury.

The kid runs hard and reminds me of the Patriots #28.
Heck, the kid at his sized showed more power than all of Ballage time with the team.

W/O question with better blocking up front he's going to create plays.

I was a fan after I watched his college highlights. Couldn't believe he dropped so far. Hope he comes back even stronger next year.

definitely looked better than ballage ever has and has none of the charcter issues that wal ton has. Have to question why Ballage was playign over him in the first place but at least we have one running back for next year

Simple answer and that's pass protection.
He and Larid can't pick up the blitz.

Gaskin had over 1000 yards a year at his university. He's not bad.

Meh. He's a solid rotational RB.

The unit needs a huge overhaul.

I didn't see him miss holes. I saw him patiently waiting for blocks to develop, which didn't.

It's not a bad thing, but that style is more condusive to a zone blocking scheme, IMO.

I wouldn't say "huge," but, yeah, need a big every down back.

Adding a 90% of the snap guy is a huge overhaul lol.

I can go with that. I read "huge" as number-related - need a LOT of change

I don't think there is any such thing as a "90%" snap guy this day in age.

Even if there were, it doesn't really fit this staffs stated philosophy.

Nobody knows this staff's philosophy in terms of running backs. They're all **** and they're trying to find the less shitty guy.
