Whoop!
Great player, great person.
Seeing Achane playing for Roald is gonna be awesome.
This guy Will Scott looks like he's really a Dolphins insider.
"He makes it look effortless "
I was worried his size would cut against him, but I'm happy he's making it work. A fantastic player and representative of A&M!
Achane is a helluva player with great talent. We don't beat LSU last year without him playing like he did.

Why? He started in the SEC. It didn't hurt him there.
Crazy how low he was rated coming out of high school
Emmitt Smith was 5'9" 200 lbs when he joined the NFL, and ran a 4.52 He did okay.Shoefly! said:Stmichael said:

He makes fast people look not fast.

Guys that played with Emmitt will tell you that that 4.52 was more like a 4.7 in reality.

Emmitt Smith was drafted 33 years ago, the game has changed a bit since then! Defenses got really good at shutting down the ground game, and offenses became pass heavy. If you can't pick up a blitzing linebacker every down, you've got an uphill battle ahead of you.
That said, I'm glad Miami is finding a way to make Achane work in their offense!

Sproles was a return specialist, and even if you remove that element from his career, he still had more yards receiving than rushing. Hard to classify him as a running back. Rodgers also didn't have a noteworthy career: 2k yards at 3.8 ypc over a 7 year career is nothing to write home about.
Linebackers and safeties were typically bigger in the 90's when teams ran more. Plus, they can't blanketly light you up anymore. You don't see A****er, (seriously a t w a t e r is censored? comical) Woodson size safeties these days. There aren't Levon Kirklands around either.

I'm not sure if you're serious. However, I know Will Scott very well. He's a good dude and well connected with the Dolphins.
I'm sure he is but he put up stats and tweets without any input from Dolphins people.

Imagine saying "A 7-year career in the NFL is nothing to write home about."
Pretty much, one of my friends played for 8 years and after he felt he made enough cash to live off of the rest of his life he retired at the age of 30. Even better he could still walk and has no long term injuries. I would gladly not write home about being able to retire at the age of 30
Again, he's done very well in the kick and punt return game, and that'll definitely afford you a very nice life. Certainly better money than I could hope to accomplish. But calling him a running back because he gets the hand off once in a blue moon is a stretch.AgsMyDude said:Stmichael said:Shoefly! said:Stmichael said:AG81 said:Emmitt Smith was 5'9" 200 lbs when he joined the NFL, and ran a 4.52 He did okay.Shoefly! said:Stmichael said:

My point being that I doubt Achane will be an every-down half back. He's no Derrick Henry, but I'm glad that they're going to find ways to keep him on the field.
